    I'm trying to find the right person to settle down with and with Events and Adventures, I've been meeting new people. For my first event, I was a little nervous like any first date, but I'm a people person so I tend to settle in really quickly. I've made a lot of friends since then, and I've been through one relationship already and I'm starting on a second one. So far I've attended 11 events and the beach day was my favorite. Overall, it's a good group of people and I get out and get to experience new things.

    I've attended about six events with Events and Adventures, and I have recommended them to friends. Everybody was friendly and easy to get along with. I was interested mostly because the events are for singles only. That’s a good thing. Nobody likes being the third wheel. I liked the archery event and there was also the new member mingler which was nice, too. I'm going for air gliding on Sunday and that would be my next favorite. They have a lot of events that are downtown but I drive a big truck so the only problem is the parking. But people tend to give me room. I’ve also made more friends and it will get a little bit more fun once I involve myself more. After I signed up, that’s when all of a sudden everything’s hard and very busy for me with work and what not.

    On the radio, Events and Adventures promoted different types of events and doing new things like skydiving and trips, and it seemed like a fun way to meet new people and try new things. I joined in late June and I was ready to try something new so it was exciting to go to my first event. Since joining, I have attended 10 events and I have been doing different things I've never tried before. My favorite was the water park at Typhoon Texas. I've been to two water parks and done the trampoline dodge ball and axe throwing. I also went to the Fourth of July party at the clubhouse and I've gone on a bike tour for the Buffalo Bayou. I've really enjoyed being a member of the club so far and I'm glad I joined because I met my boyfriend through it. It's been a fun, exciting and positive experience overall.

    I signed up with Events and Adventures August of last year. I've gone to 40 events since then, averaging with 4 events a month. I like the fact that events were planned throughout the month, were pre-setup and that you could just participate in as you want to. That really appealed to me. There is also flexibility on how you're able to do the events. There wasn’t necessarily a targeted singles thing. The first Events and Adventures event that I went to was an ice breaker event. The purpose of it was for new members to get comfortable with the club. Before I arrived, I felt a little awkward because you basically thrust into a situation where you don’t know anybody at all. There’s a little bit of a trepidation there in that regard but people ended up being really easy to get along with so that was good. It was a game night so by the end of it, everyone got around together and was just playing games. It was a lot easier to hang out.

    It’s a really positive group of people. They’re up for everything. I’m hosting events now as well and it's been an interesting experience to be on that side too. Some of the events that I've gone to were really good, such as the roach course, the roller skating karaoke, Cooking with Anita, and the one hosted by a husband and wife in their house where we cooked a multi-course meal and served it. Events & Adventures is enjoyable and it's expanded my social world. I also met my girlfriend through it. Events and Adventures is a really good organization. It revolves around the host and the event coordinator. Giving invitation to clubs as well as the variety of events throughout the month are good ideas. I've recommended Events and Adventures to five of my friends already.

    Events & Adventures did a presentation in the apartment complex that I was living in at the time. Getting out and finding new things to do in the area and making new friends was interesting. I was a little apprehensive about the first event because I didn’t know what it was going to be like but it was very positive after that. I also do hostings for Events & Adventures. I’ve attended hundreds of events and nine international trips. My favorite would be the trip to China. We also did whitewater rafting on the Mattawa River, skydiving, evening cruises on Lake Union, and camp-outs. Most of the events are really good and I’ve enjoyed them. It’s just a matter of attitude.

    For the cost of the events, it’s also a good value. Plus, I’ve made quite a few friends. The group that joined shortly after I did, we still keep in contact with each other and occasionally get together. We may also see each other again at the 30th-anniversary party next month. I’m late up due to foot surgery so, otherwise, I would be going on the Cuba trip in January, too. It’s been an adventure.

    I like that Events and Adventures have events planned out so I decided to join. The first event I went to was for newcomers to mingle which I was ready for. After that, I participated in their events four times a month and so far, the trip to San Juan Island is my favorite. I've also attended sailing, indoor shooting, hiking, comedy clubs and building a terrarium. Everything went well.

    I heard on the radio that Events & Adventures do various activities and it's for singles. I was a little nervous for my first event because I didn't know anyone. But after I arrived, everyone was very friendly and talking to the other people. And pretty soon, I had several people talking to me and that was nice. I've been part of Events & Adventures for a year and a few months now, so I've attended many events already since I do several activities every month.

    I like all the different activities. There are usually activities that I wouldn't normally even hear about or even get to do. So, at least I'd get to try out new things and meet new people at the same time. We went out to eat and meet at various restaurants or bars where we did an activity such as playing putt-putt. We've also done obstacle courses where I was up high on some sort of platform and I've done ropewalks. It was a lot of fun. I made a lot of new friends and also dated. Overall, Events and Adventures is a great group that welcomes you and allows you to do a lot of different things that you normally never do. So, if all your friends are married or you're new to the area, Events and Adventures really gets you out and experience the new city in different ways.

    I felt a little nervous during my first event with Events and Adventures but that changed. Everyone there seems open and inviting for the most part. I went to three events so far and one was a lot of fun. I've made acquaintances during those times. The few people I met on their Facebook page seem a little full of themselves but I haven't actually met them in person yet. I've got a couple events that are scheduled. One is called Whirlyball. It's like a Fussball with a wiffle ball but in a bumper car. Overall my experience with Events and Adventures has been good so far.

    I was new and just moved into this area so I was trying to find clubs where I can make friends. I found Events & Adventures on the internet which was more on socializing, making fun and going to places where I wouldn't go by myself. They allowed me to have six months subscription because I was not sure about our stay here and what to expect from the club so I paid a one-time payment up front and became a member the end of March, and for the next three months. My first event was very welcoming and I felt good. I meet good friends and all people are great. I've been trying to go to one or two events every week, and sometimes three. I also heard upon water rafting and camping trip to Canada, and it was my favorite.

    However, I’ve been so busy because I bought a house and didn't have any time to go to any Events & Adventures in July or August and I try to. I didn't want to cancel. I just wanted to postpone it for the two months that I cannot attend then attend in the future when I can and done moving with all of my things. So I sent an email to customer service to see if they could put my membership on hold and extend by September or October, but I never heard and received any reply. My subscription will be over and out of those six months, I didn't use two months so it's a little bit of a pain and I don't have any refund. Other than the financial thing, it's been a very good experience. It's a nice club but it depends on people’s expectation. I wouldn't recommend it if their expectations are for dating, but I would if it is for socializing and making friends.

    I like the idea of Events & Adventures as a club. They advertise for singles and have them do something fun and see if you meet different people. I signed up with them last April and I've probably gone to at least six events a month. I went to one with the Szechuan karaoke event which was fun and some of the outdoor activities. There was also an event that we all went to. A place where they allowed dogs. So we all sat on the patio with our dogs, and that was fine. I like the 4th of July cruise dinner and that was fun too.

    Events & Adventures have fun activities and the people are all very friendly. But I hope they have something like an identifier in their events. I'm a social person but I don't know the group of people I'm going to be with and we get to meet them in public places. I was both nervous and excited when I went to my first event which was a pickleball event. When I walked in there, I saw a group of people standing in the corner and some people in the line. I know they have a lot of hosts that people know but they can't assume that everybody knows everybody. It also happened when we had our event in a restaurant. Therefore, it will be nice if there was a pin, a logo or something on the shirt so I can see the sign and just walk that way. You don't want to end up joining the wrong group of people, and that actually happened to me in one of the events. I kept waiting and waiting.

    I like all the activities I've been to and they're all fun. I don't drink alcohol so if the event's entertainment is mostly alcohol, I don't sign up for those. I had signed up for a trip to Europe and that's coming up in September. But then after I signed up with that, another trip came up to Cuba in January. So I went ahead and signed up too. I guess when you're new, you jump in and hope for the best. I like international trips. I decided to get a private room option which is a little bit more expensive.

    I know they're advertising but it's surprising to see all the different age groups. I've met a 22-year old and a 60-year old, which is nice. When I signed up, they said that they're trying to set up events for people like under 40 and over 40. But in the over 40 crowd, they definitely have more women than men and maybe they can target some of the more professional groups better. I was surprised to meet people who, it seems like they were financially struggling and we were not in a cheap club’s joint. Not that I have any problem with people from different socioeconomic background being in this group. Everybody has their choice of how they want to spend their money. Again, I love meeting different kinds of people with different backgrounds but I have yet to meet someone who’s had higher education. Those are the kind of people I want to go for but I don’t know how they can target that group of university level people.

It’s been 10 months since I joined and I’ve been to around 30 events. My favorite activities were the high ropes course and the whale watching. I’ve also participated in stay-at-home kind of board game things, local parties, hiking, wine tasting, sightseeing, whale watching, laser tags, and bonfires and have made new friends. The only thing is that the price is expensive.

    Although the interview process weeds out any serial killer types, there are no attractive highly educated successful members. If you are under 30 (and female), I would not recommend this membership to you. Also, I find it wildly unreasonable to only give you 3 days to cancel your membership as 3 days does not give you an accurate representation of the group.

    A friend told me about a social organization that I should check out online and learned about Events & Adventures. I wanted to increase my social activity so I joined the club. I was a little bit nervous arriving at my first event but it was fine. It took a couple of events before I was comfortable going into one and I've attended about two dozen events already. White water rafting and spot climbing were my favorites, which happened this past weekend. Other activities I've joined were making a glass plate, a couple of dinner around the world events, a few rooftop bars, going to an escape room and playing Bocce ball. There was no hotel involved, so we were camping and I drove myself to those events.

    I've made a few new friends. However, Events & Adventures was not marketed very accurately. It's deliberately represented incorrectly because of the majority of the folk attending are significantly younger than me, so it makes me a little bit uncomfortable. I'm locked into their contract so I'm making the best of it. But overall, I'm disappointed and feel bad.

    Events and Adventures' activities interested me more than anything else, as well as meeting guys that I would be friends with and I could do things with. I started in March and my first event was on July 1st. I was busy but I was nervous too, but once I got on board and I met a couple of friends, then it was on. So, it was great. The biggest thing with the group is that everybody is nice and everybody has felt out place somewhere and we all have our social anxieties and things of that nature but within the group, everybody is accommodating and they want you to have a good time. You just have to show up. On my first year, I only went to three events because I work six days a week and some of the events are an hour away. It wasn't a lot and it was a couple of major events.

    This year, which is my second, I'll probably go to four events a month. In fact, I went to one on Sunday and then a couple of guys that are my friends and I went out on Friday night. In the last month, I've gone to six events, no trips. Yesterday, I went to Angel Island. We took a ferry, rode electric bicycles and we went to Angel Island Tour in San Francisco. I'm going to country line dancing in a week or so and there's a Prince tribute event that I'm going to go to, as well as something called Slowtopia which is the inner tubes down the river. I've also gone to a Halloween party, New Year's Eve, and then various events, like eating events. I also did a rocket boat thing, and on Fourth of July, they had a cruise in the bay where we can watch a couple of different fireworks.

    It's a lot of fun different events that I would never get to do on my own or even know about. There's one on the calendar that's there all the time that people love and that's volleyball, and I go there for the socialization because there are different people sitting on the side that I can talk to. Camping and white water rafting were awesome as well. It depends on what people are going for, but when I signed up for something, I let all my friend and my buddies know. That way, we get a lot more people and they’ll be introduced to new people that are coming, and it's more fun.

    They have a Facebook web page so you can see the things that people are doing and if it looks fun, then you can go ahead and do it. I suggest looking up the calendar when it comes out and then highlight the event that you want and sign up for it so that you get reminders so that you'll go. Overall, I'm glad that I joined and I probably re up for another year because after three years it's a lifetime membership and it's way less expensive.

I wasn't sure what kind of people were going to be there but the event turned out pretty cool. I have a good group of friends that I can expect to see that go regularly as well. Sometimes I see them outside of Events and Adventures too. I've attended about 20 events since I became a member. I like the ones where there are arts and crafts. There was one where you could make your own pottery and then you get to paint it. There was one where we did a trampoline dodge ball too and that was fun.

    One of my favorite group activities was going to candle making. I'm going to that tomorrow so I'm excited. There's also a weekly activity where we go to a bar and they have a volleyball court and we play. There's also one where we just do pub crawls or meet up at bars. We have drinks, play card games and stuff like that. Those have been fun. I have a couple of good friends now through Events and Adventures. I am also seeing someone that I met through them.

    What interested me about Events & Adventures were doing new things and meeting new people. My first event was a gala and I felt a little nervous and awkward in the beginning. I didn't really know how what kind of identification would be in the group but then I saw Alex's name tag so it was fine. It was a charity ball and there was dancing. I didn't really stay that long but it was good. Another event I went to was a movie and that was the easiest. I also did the tropical dinner at Tonga Room. Then I did the dinner and drinks on one of the rooftops at the Mission and I liked that one. I've had fun new experiences with Events & Adventures and I've met a few people who were friendly and with whom I would like hang out again. It's been good so far and the coordinator's been really nice.

    The general idea of joining a group and having a calendar of events to sign up for has gotten me interested in joining Events and Adventures. My first event was just a few people, so I was pretty calm and the event was good. I've attended 15 events already and I've met some cool friends. We went to a baseball Punch Bowl Social, gone on a hike, went to a reggae night, and also went to the Santa Fe Art Walk in downtown Denver. The volleyball event was my favorite. Overall, I really enjoyed the group and I definitely can say that it's a good experience and totally worth it.

    I had moved to the city and at my job, there’s not that many young single people. I wanted to experience the city and meet new people so I went to Events & Adventures. I was super nervous before I arrived at my first event since I didn’t exactly know what it was going to be like. But it got easier. There’s a host so you don’t have to navigate through whatever you’re doing by yourself. They also introduce everybody to each other so you don't do it on your own. I joined back in October and now I go to three events in a month on average. I actually met my current boyfriend on the second event. I've also made friends and it's been awesome.

    Some of the events that stood out to me were the trampoline dodge ball and the badass axe throwing. We also did a massive Cards Against Humanity session and it was hilarious. I also went to the Memorial Day camping trip up in Wisconsin where there was 200 of us and when we first went up, I was super intimidated. But it was awesome since you didn't have to do or think about anything because meals and the activities have been planned. I recommend Events & Adventures to everybody.

    I heard about Events & Adventures from a radio ad and was interested in how you get to do different things. I've attended less than 10 events and have done a little bit of different things and have had a good time with friendly people in most of them, too. I met some pretty people and hung out with one.

    I was new to the area so I figured Events and Adventures will get me out to see the area and meet somebody new. I felt nervous when I went to my first event because I'm going some place and I don't know anybody. But once I got there, it was fine. I did an out-of-state New Year's event and the organization of it was good. However, I didn’t know then if I should share a room with someone or not. I specifically called the rep and said that if they get my own room, I don’t want to be with a 20-year old drinking all night nor an old person that’s gonna go to bed at night. However, I got paired up with the oldest person alive. She must’ve been 87 and I’m 40. It sucks having to share a room with someone who was in bed by nine o’clock the night of the New Year’s Eve party when there were plenty of people in their 30, 40, 50’s that I could’ve been roomed with. I felt that’s how the rep viewed me so that completely changed my opinion of the organization.

    I called up once to put my account on hold and they said, “Okay sure. No problem.” And then I called up the second time but then they said I need to do an email and then this, and then that, which was different from the first time around. And so, I don't think my request the first time I called counted because I signed up for 18 months and then, it ended me with 19 months when I should’ve had that other month. Events & Adventures is beneficial for somebody who is new in town. I didn’t join to find a life-long partner. It would’ve been nice though if I've met a good friend but I guess, I didn’t feel a strong connection. Nevertheless, my experience was good. I’ve met some interesting people, some were good and some were better than others. In fact, I've made a couple of friends and we see each other at events but they were not life-long friends that I choose to hang out with. The group was good for me to get to know the city and for things to do.

I've found a lot of new friends so far through Events & Adventures. It gets you out of your rut and helps you do things that you never thought about doing or have the resources to figure out gathering a bunch of your friends to go do like hang gliding.

    Events & Adventures is a club for singles but is not a dating site. It's has something that can get me up and moving and it's about adventures and events which is what I want. I felt excited when I first joined an event and so far, I have been to six. I liked the white water rafting trip and I got several more trips on my calendar. One of them is the beach barbecue and in August I have the Salsa Cruise. I also booked the Germany-Austrian-Switzerland trip for September and I'll also be heading to Cuba in January.

    In the activities I joined, I met a lot of good like-minded people and an awful lot of professional women that like to be active in and around my age. I like that there was such a variance in age in the members. There seem to be cliques with the younger versus the older age members and I'm on the high end of the age bracket there so it was very comfortable. My experience has been very enjoyable and I have recommended Events & Adventures to a couple of friends.

    A couple of years ago, a friend told me about Events & Adventures then I heard of it on the local radio. Meeting a lot of group of people in the same situation got me interested in this club. You can have good friends and have a good time and go out to do something adventurous that you might not normally do by yourself. You show up on a regular basis and not random meet ups where hundreds of thousands of different people can meet up. I've gotten to more than 10 events. I went to quiz night, the ice breaker social, board night, bingo night, volleyball and went to a Rockies game. My favorite was the baseball game that we did. On July 4th we had a picnic at the Cherry Creek Reservoir and played outdoor games which were fun. I have found new friends and had quite a few of them attend my birthday.

    If you're not over the age of at least 30, don't even bother investing in this organization product. I was a part of it for a couple months and it was the worst choice & investment I've ever made. Everyone I met was far and above my age bracket. And With the large amount of upfront costs I paid, I was hoping for more free events, which are barely present month to month. They definitely get your money out of you. Keep in mind I have a previous step parent who met their current wife on here, but it's his third marriage, so take from that what you will. Simply put, I'm not a fan of this organization. Everything you could facilitate for yourself if you can just get together with your friends and meet the friends of your friends at just regular stuff around town.

    The first event I attended with Events and Adventures was at Happy Gnome. We had drinks and dinner outside on a sunny afternoon. That's when I met most of the people I know now and it was a really good event. I was nervous but I felt more comfortable that people were talking to me. I ended up having a really good time just talking to people. Sometimes, I still get a little nervous going to events because I don't know who I'm going to meet but they were welcoming.

    I've attended several events since I signed up. We went to different breweries on a bus, a 4th of July event where we went on a boat ride to Taylor Falls and then there was also a paddle boat ride event to Lake Minnetonka and that was really fun. I would like to do more events on the water. I like to be on the lake, by the sea or by the water especially in the summertime because once the summertime is done, you don't get to do that a lot. I'm getting to know people right now and they seem really nice.

    I wanted to get out of my apartment which had become a habit after a divorce of about a year plus and hopefully to meet someone. Once I signed up with Events & Adventures, I was basically excited. I've gotten up in front of a group of a hundred people and presented before, so nerves have been long gone. I've made a fool of myself before and I could do it again. By now, I've been to about 20 events and I would have been to quite a few more, except I am now in the middle of a three-month contract in Denver working 70 hours a week. So I had to leave after two months of belonging.

    As strange as it might sound, I had a great time at the croquet event. There was a great group of people and we were laughing and having a terrific time. I also enjoy all of the international dinners where we go to different restaurants. I love traveling and I'm signed up for the trip to Germany. I can hardly wait to do that. I've only had one event where I was seriously disappointed and it was the fault of the vendor, not anything I would necessarily blame E & A for. Plus, their people out of Minneapolis have been very responsive, but Curtis sucks. He's the individual that I've been directed to for any of the travel-related items and I've sent emails to him requesting pieces of information that he's yet to respond on.

    However, one of the questions I asked while contemplating joining was whether I was too old for the group. On the website, it shows a predominantly young group of people, maybe 35 and younger, and I'm on the age group that helped build the pyramid. And they assured me, "Oh no, no we really need someone older 'cause we have a fair amount of older women, and we really are desperate for older men."

    Now I don't know if the older women just don't come but the reality is, when I'm sitting anywhere from a group of 15 to 40, there's one or two women who are about 45 and I'm still definitely a decade older than they are. One of my reasons for joining is to meet somebody and it's a long shot than I was led to believe. This is definitely for a 35 or younger group by far. But I don't have problems socializing with anybody of any age and I'm having fun with all of the events. Nobody's ostracizing me and we get along at all of the parties. I don't regret joining Events and Adventures and under the right conditions for the right friend, I would definitely recommend it.

    My co-workers mentioned about Events & Adventures and then I got online to find out where I could sign up. I got interested in the different events they have and then there's a chance of meeting someone although it was very narrow for me. I was a bit nervous when I went to my first social event where I never knew anyone. I might be the new guy and everybody else has been there long enough and they might have known each other or recommended each other. But then everyone was pretty friendly, a mature crowd, and I laughed a lot.

    I've only attended two so far. There was the meet and greet and then the event that I liked where we went to a Mexican restaurant. I met one friend and we'll have our first date on August 5th. We're going to the Opera, McCaw Hall, to see Madame Butterfly. Then I just recently bought a home so that's been my focus so I haven't had a chance to get into the social scene yet.

    There's great opportunity to meet people with Events & Adventures, whether looking for a significant other or not. There were things that I've probably never done that I can experience with them so I thought it's a great program. These dating websites where they expect a person to put money upfront, the focus is different with Events and Adventures. It's more about having fun first then build relationships later.

    When I was signing up for Events and Adventures, I was very much led to believe that my fee for the year would cover 90 to 95 percent of the event but I have found that I still have to pay for a majority of the events that we're going to. I do not mind and I can financially afford it, but I was misled when I signed up. I don't want to feel like I'm being ripped off and sometimes I do when I have to shell out more money for events that I know shouldn't cost as much as they do.

    Also, there are always things that could be improved upon like when they list an address which is not even right. Particularly, it pertains to the meeting at a park. They listed an address and then I ended up in the middle of a neighborhood and there's no park. The other thing I've noticed and it's an annoyance is that some of the hosts don't do the best job at making new people feel welcome. I know a bunch of people now in the club and I feel like I probably do a much better job of talking with new people and making them feel welcome than the hosts do. There are a few hosts that are younger that maybe shouldn't be the host. But all in all, it's been a very positive experience. I like everything. I've done a ton of events already like the Memorial Day Camping which was a blast and bowling which was my favorite one. I've been enjoying myself and I've met really cool people.

    I'm new to Vancouver. I’m single and I wanted to look at making new acquaintances and also getting an idea of what's available here to do. I was looking forward to my Events and Adventures' first event and seeing what it could bring. But I wasn't actually too pleased at first. It was quite dull because the fellow members that were there weren't very talkative and at the same time, there was a football game. They were very quiet and reserved. But in many of the other events I've been to afterward, I met great and better people.

    I have two favorite events, the Murder Mystery weekend and the Canada Day boating cruise and I've made quite a few new friends. Going with Events & Adventures literally works as long as you're not looking for anything relationship-wise.

    I've been to, approximately, 12 events with Events & Adventures and I've found some good acquaintances. Ziplining was my favorite. There were some activities that I wanted to do but they either had the wrong date or they got postponed. Once or twice, it was a matter of the information where the website may have given inaccurate information and there were one or two other times where the weather affected the opportunities. The paddle boarding and kayaking were the ones that I was really looking forward to but they were postponed. With the kayaking, the date was wrong on the website so everybody showed up and then it didn't happen.

    People make prior arrangements to be there so I think that the company needs to be a little more lenient on getting us some type of compensation. People have to have sitters, make driving arrangements, take off time from work and drive a distance. Then, they don't get accommodations when things aren't correct. That's irritating and frustrating. I offered that feedback but I've never received any type of response or correspondence. Also, at times when I go to so many events, the young professionals are sometimes a little cliquey and that's the disappointing part. Then there was one particular host who was a bit unprofessional at times. But overall, I'm satisfied and I'd like to see some other events come up that I haven't seen yet that I would like to do.

    What got me interested in Events & Adventures was the fact that it was social. That way I get to meet people, enjoy other companies from other singles, just to have fun, and I’m really enjoying it so far. On the first event, I was excited to see who else was joining because of the icebreaker. All new members get to meet up together and see exactly who else joined, and it was actually a very fun event. I've been to almost 10 events and trips and my favorite is when we floated down the Salt River. I also enjoyed the clay shooting where we go out and shoot clay doves.

    To have as much fun as one can, one should be the person they are and enjoy the company they are with because everyone’s unique in their own way, and I am enjoying everyone’s different uniqueness. There are some shy people, but they’re slowly getting out of their shyness and getting used to people around. Events & Adventures is a great program and it even works if one lives too far away from all the events, which I do. I’m almost two hours away from almost everything that’s scheduled up and they were able to work well with my budgeting. I have already recommended Events & Adventures to a couple of friends.

It was a fun outing and the venue was nice. I also did a pizza social, forbidden bingo, beach volleyball and a Cider and Blues Festival. However, I am on a pause right now because I wasn't finding enough events that I wanted to join.

    I like the idea of being able to join an event on a day that you might have off from work. But the part I didn't like was that it's starting to become clicky where people know each other and so they're unwilling to make friends with other people.

    I'd like to meet people in person and not to just sit at home, go back and forth with online dating with a whole bunch of text messages and never going out to eat or doing anything. I saw pictures of sky diving and all those cool stuff. I've attended 11 events in total. I was both excited and nervous attending the first event. I was scared that it was simply going to be like a bunch of losers but everyone was really nice and the event was great. There's a big group of people there and I got to meet a whole bunch of people but I couldn't meet everybody. It was like Cinco De Mayo. It was a taco-themed event and potluck. Everything was festive, we were taking pictures and we played with hitting the piñata.

    I like the sky diving, it's awesome. The white water rafting was my favorite event before I went sky diving because I got partnered up with a random person and it was fun to meet and talk with other people. We did a little cliff jumping off of a 15-foot thing so I got my adrenaline going and we spent all day together. I got to carpool with a couple of other people and then we all went out and had burgers and drinks afterwards. It was like a little family for the day. I also went on camping. We met up with Chicago and the Wisconsin Dells area. I have my own schedule so I just had to drive myself. I ended up sharing a tent with a friend and I really liked the location Heather had picked out. It was really awesome and I had a great time.

    I made a lot of good contacts, too. I had a significant other for one month. Currently, I'm employed right now so it's hard to get out of the contract obviously, like a year and a half. I was really thinking that after you got a boyfriend that you can get out of the membership, but I didn't realize it was like you have to have like a married thing. And they said that you could freeze the account where you don't go to events but you still pay. It seems like whenever any company says you can freeze your account, you should be able to freeze the spending part because that's the reason why mostly you need to freeze is you don't have a job, you don't have any money.

    After the 18 month period from when I first signed up, I should be able to continue for an additional month until then. I'd like to pick right up after but it doesn't really make sense to not go now, pay now and then to go later at the end when this whole thing is like a lifetime membership. So there really is no additional months at the end. But other than that, the entire experience was fun, adventurous, drama filled fun.

    I always liked going on adventures and doing fun activities and heard about Events and Adventures on the radio and on Facebook. So being able to do it with a large group of people and still being able to get out without having to go to bars to meet people or clubs interested me. I was more anxious than anything at first and wasn’t sure how it was going, what I would expect or who I was going to see there. But a lot of people were very friendly and came up plus introduced themselves and asked me to join their group. It was a glow in the dark mini golf activity that we had and was a lot of fun and really cool. The lights were dimmed then there was a black light and the different mini golf things had paint on it. There were black-lit. We got divided up into different groups and started talking. Everybody was really nice, friendly and welcoming.

    I've been with the club about seven to eight months now and done lots of different activities. They also have activities that they do just locally with different clubs. They’re all over the U.S. and they also do actual trips, national and international. And so that was another thing that interested me about the club since I love to travel whenever I have time or money but those two things are commodities nowadays. Another thing that really interested me in signing up for the club was the China trip because I've always wanted to go to China and see the Great Wall. After six months, I went on that trip and it was amazing.

    I went to Canada first because it’s where the trip was getting based out of then I spent three or four days there exploring and meeting people that were going to be going on the trip. Then we all met up at the airport and nine full days in China, three in Beijing, three in Xi'an, three in Shanghai and it was an incredible trip. I wanted to do a little bit more so I decided that I would get on a place and head on over to Japan by myself and do that as well. I had five days in Japan after that and it was an incredible and amazing trip. Then last weekend, I went up to Vancouver to do some camping and white water rafting as well and that was a lot of fun also.

    They take care of everything and it’s really, really nice. It’s high class the whole way and we were staying in nice and great 5-star hotels. All of the restaurants that we ate at were amazing and reputable. They had great breakfasts plus awesome amenities and services which are nice. In addition, they gave us the opportunity of having your own private room if you don’t want to share with someone. It’s going to be a little more but they give you a bunch of different choices to choose from. There’s a guy that they use to plan all the different events very carefully and then there were times where we had extra time where we were able to add other excursions that might not have been on the list or the itinerary beforehand.

    The Event Host always puts little posts on Facebook so we always have input to say what we really like to do or things we enjoyed a lot that we might want them to bring back. It’s not like someone chooses it and you decide if you want to go or not. But I’ll probably wait about a year before I go on another trip with them that way I have enough to recoup. I'm still trying to recover from Asia. I had so much fun and spent a lot of money there. But, hopefully, they come up with Africa soon because that would probably be next on my list, too. I also made tons of friends, go on lots of dates with some of the different members that I have come in contact with. Dating is usually the first step before getting there and I’ve definitely been able to do that a lot more just being in a club.

    There are so many fun activities they do. From skydiving to painting at a class to photography class which was really cool. We were able to learn more about photography and take pictures of different things. They have a hot air balloon ride which is going to be coming up in September. There’s also a glassblowing class that I'll be going to in another week or so. It’s a blast. They do anything and everything really. Every event is almost like going on a big group date where you get to meet people and it’s not awkward, weird, or uncomfortable like some dates can be at times.

I've attended six activities, and my favorites were the hiking and the premier 35 dinners, which was a dinner for people over 35. They pick a restaurant, meet up, and that's about it. We also did a zodiac ferry over the bow in Harlan and had dinner there and back one evening. Aside from dinners we also did meet and greets. I've made friends. However I am taking a two month hiatus because I love traveling with family. Events and Adventures is good and it has lots of different people but there should be more people of my age range since there's a lot of younger people.

    I was new to the area and I was looking to meet people so, I joined Events & Adventures to meet people and get out and see what's around in the area. The sales guy gave his spiel and asked me if I was open to dating. I said yes, and for me, if it happens, it happens. He made it seem like that was the focus of the group and that led me to believe that the men to women ratio would be more of 50-50, but generally, it was 90% women and 10% men. That was a little misleading in the beginning and I didn't join for that purpose.

    In addition, the upfront cost and most events still cost but by going in a group, you'll get savings. I also realized that I was paying for other things as well and it's a lot of money. Other than that, I've done mostly their local events and some of the overnight stuff. I've been pleased with the place I've stayed at every time and the hosts were always very organized and very upfront with what we needed to bring or didn't need to bring.

    I was interested in Events and Aventures' events that I could participate in. On the first event, I was nervous about meeting new people and seeing if I can fit in but it changed a bit when I started meeting a few other people, getting to know them and seeing them at various events. And I still see new faces every now and then. I went to five events last month and I’m going to go to two this month. I did trampoline dodgeball, the Dave & Buster’s event, salsa dancing lessons and a hiking trip up to Maisie's Peak. The hiking trip that we had on Stevens Creek was my favorite. Overall, my experience was fun and I've made new friends.

    Events and Adventures has a variety of activities. And I like the fact that there were a couple of items every month that are on my bucket list. I like the zip lining the best and I like the curling a lot. Some of the events were really well organized, but some are bad. It depended on the host. If members are going to be hosts then there should be more training for the host. Because when the people who are from Events & Adventures were hosting an event, it's a lot more fun. They do a good job because they're trained on how to do it and what to do, whereas you throw somebody in there who's just a member, they generally don't do anything. They just host it, make sure everybody finds a place and that's pretty much it. Less than half of the events I’ve been to weren't as well organized and if you went to a bar and started talking to people you'd accomplish the same thing.

    Meeting people and going to events is not something that's new to me, I do that for a living. So it's something that's second nature to me. I made a suggestion in the past that they could make more of an effort to introduce people, to make sure that everybody meets and make an introduction. I went to many events and never really got to meet other people that were at the event. They go up to their own groups or their own teams. That'd be a perfect opportunity for the host to say, "Okay, let's just do a quick introduction." And if there's a new member there, let that person say a few words if they want, just to break the ice. Because so many times you go there and you get people that don't know each other. You're not going to get to know anyone more than the people who are in the group you're in. Which is usually great to get to know those people but you don't get to know the whole group.

    The people are really easy to hang out with. Everybody is very inclusive that way. So if you're sitting around after zip lining, you got to know the group. Some of those people are Facebook friends because you spent the day with them. We had a great time and I would go again because I never went to an event and didn't meet people and have a good time. But you had to do it yourself and a lot of people sometimes would just disappear early or never mingle. So they just came, did the event and left. Whereas some of the people who are more social like me, we'd stick around and just chit chat for a while after the event.

    They were encouraging us to give any ideas for what would be fun events and adventures. There was one in particular that I sent in writing and gave them all the contact information. I never heard anything back. Events & Adventures is a great concept. The problem is, I've met somebody on eHarmony and they're not into it. So I haven't been to anything for a couple months. And right now, I don't see anything in the offering that's interesting. I was going to three events a week for the first month and then I haven't been to anything since. I probably wouldn't do it again. I've forked out $3,000 for it and I did it for a month. I did a permanent membership, so I've got it for a lifetime and until I get married.

    My friends are getting girlfriends and no one really wanted to go out anymore, so I thought I’d give Events & Adventures a try. I was nervous on my first event, I didn’t know what to expect. But I’ve been attending two events in a week for a year now, and of those I’ve attended, I like the New Year’s trip the most. The river rafting and the Harrison Hot Springs event were fun as well. I’ll be going to the Canada Day. I’ve been to so many events, I took advantage of the opportunity since I paid so much money for it. I’ve made friends that I keep in contact with and I also found a girlfriend. When I signed up I thought there would be more people that were at my level. But I noticed when I joined that there's a whole different type of people and some of them are very anti-social.

    Another thing is their website sucks. When you sign up for an event that is already full, you get put on a waiting list but instead of asking you if you could still make it they automatically sign you up for that event. In six situations I wouldn't be able to make it because I had made other plans. So I would have to call and go through this whole process to get things changed because I couldn't make it. There was no confirmation if you're still interested even after the wait listing. Also, trying to find the calendar is terrible, and it's so hard to navigate with your phone, there is no app for it. The website definitely needs a huge upgrade. But overall, my experience with Events and Adventures has been great.

    I joined mainly to meet new people, see if I have similar interests with other people, make friends, try to find places to be able to go out with other adults and just have fun and relax. The first event I went to, the brunch, was awesome. The host, Allison, was really great. She made it easy to blend and also still get to know everybody, not to feel like the outsider. I arrived late but she helped take that tension off. I was able to still find some people I had common things to talk about and it wasn’t like being put on the spot. So far, I’ve done more than three events. Aside from the brunch, I did the young people's meet, the food truck, and the pub crawl.

    My favorite event was the young professionals’ meet and greet. It had more people that were within my age group, so I didn’t have to feel super awkward. It was just a group meeting, getting to see where everybody there lived or share some experiences. That was very open because it was just more of us sitting down and talking. Even though I know everybody was in their groups and moved about, it seems like it was well-put together and everybody just ended up messing really well.

    But there aren’t enough guys to go around and I’ve heard horror stories about hook-ups, so I stir away from finding a significant other. In most of the events, everybody wants to be friends and get to know everybody that way. So it doesn’t really seem like most of the guys were even there for any type of relationship sort of vibe. I have made some really cool friends and overall, with the way people are meeting nowadays, it’s a unique experience, a little old school but definitely something different.

    I’m not really happy with Events & Adventures. The advertisement was misrepresented. There is no trial period, which is ridiculous. For a few months, you have to pay the whole sum upfront. You have to commit without knowing what you’re doing. The financial part is really ridiculous and it feels like a scam. They’re trying to sell you a package of a year right ahead and you have to pay for it. You can’t just pay for a month and so I paid for six months, instead of a year. I didn’t want to take a year because it was too much for me.

    They say Events and Adventures is a club for singles but basically, it’s a club for friends. There are singles and there are couples as well. They show you a picture with models, but when I come there, it’s nothing of that sort. I see regular people like me. So instead of using model pictures, they should have real events that have happened. I come there to meet a potential partner, so I’m not interested in making friends. But I have the same chances as meeting people in the street or at work. I don’t have to pay money for that.

    They advertise that when you go there, you have a potential to get a partner, but the chances are really low. They claim to have 4,000 members in Vancouver but they’re not really. I saw 20 in total, in five events. They might have that many members but they’re dormant. They’re considered members but they’re not attending the events. It’s lifetime membership sort of thing. And because I got really disappointed at the whole situation, I don’t go there too often now. I didn’t enjoy as much as I could have. For people who just want to make friends, Events & Adventures is good. But for people who are looking specifically for a partner, this is not worth it.

    I had known Events and Adventures for several years but when I first heard about them, I didn’t really have much interest in it. I had been doing my own thing. But then I felt like trying stuff, so I looked for other things to do. At Events and Adventures, I can easily find five to 10 events a month that I’d be interested in doing. I did salsa dancing a few weeks ago and that was fun. The escape room was definitely a blast as well. I’ve also done the game night and the new member orientation. Plus, I had a great time at Scarborough Fair. I have enjoyed the events that I’ve attended, although I’ve been super busy lately and it’s hard for me to get places in the evenings.

    People are so nervous the first time you meet them though. Friendships are best developed mutually, being in the same vicinity with a common goal with people, and it's weird to try to force the idea. I just haven't been a member long enough or active enough, otherwise I could run around and then run into the same people. Then it'll happen and I definitely feel that I can be friends with some of the people I've met. Overall, everything’s been fantastic and I couldn’t ask for more.

    I had a very good experience with Events and Adventures and I really like it. The events I went to were very nice and I'm happy that when I'm at work, people can plan my free time. I’ve lived for 20 years in Illinois but I didn’t know about many places. I’m 54 years old and I’m a very active person but a lot of people my age are not. I signed up in February. My first event was a water gun fight in the pool area in Schaumburg. It’s too cold for me in February but it turned to be okay. During the week, I live very far from Chicago because I live in Glasford so it's impossible to go to events unless something is in Schaumburg. One time, I went to a dinner in Schaumburg during the week.

    Aside from the water gun fight, I went to Wisconsin for skiing, I went for archery, a couple of hiking, a disco event, an event barbecue and the Hindu temple in Burlington. I went to Mexico with my doctor and I'm going to go to Poland on Thursday so I don't have many events planned in June. I'll plan something by the end of the month. But for one event, I have a trip this August to Las Vegas. I met people but not anything closer than that. It's not what I intend to do. I'm happy about my experience with Events and Adventures and that I signed up. And even though I have friends and we do stuff together, Events and Adventures has fresh ideas and fresh people to meet.

    I want to meet people in a more organic way and I knew about the Events and Adventures through a friend. I was a little apprehensive before my first event, but after I have arrived, that changed to a certain extent. I’ve attended about 10 to 15 events. I’ve gone to the zoo, the museum, different bars, board night and rooftop events. I like the outdoor activities and I had a lot of fun in kayaking recently. I also went on a hike. There’s a good mix of free activities and activities for extra pay. However, sometimes, I don't always feel that the money I'm contributing is necessarily compensated in any way. For the free activities, a lot of times we’re going to free concerts which do not necessarily cost Events and Adventures anything for us to go. You do have this sense that you want to get the bang for your buck. I'm paying for the company of other people and the experiences that I probably wouldn't otherwise had.

    I've made some acquaintances and met people in the club that I really connect with, but we have not met up outside the club. I enjoy being with Events and Adventures and I'm hoping to eventually get to that point of having friends. The ratio of men to women in my club is heavily skewed towards having more women than men. And so, it makes it limited for any potential dating options. My friend who recommended Events and Adventures was in a group in San Diego, California and she said, "Yeah, the ratio of men to women out here is much more men than women." The club is supposed to be marketed as a method of finding a significant other or someone in a relationship with, but I'm not getting that. And that primary experience was 55 percent of the reason I joined the club.

    Also, I've noticed that in some events, the host and certain members of the group get a little clique-y. It’s a little disappointing when their primary function is to be there to facilitate friendships. I haven’t experienced it personally, but I've watched how the host have treated other people in the group. And it has left a bad face on them. This is the reason why I enjoyed the outdoor activities, because I don't run into them out there.

I like their Punch Bowl Social event and I'm going on a camping trip with them one more over the weekend.

    I definitely made a lot of new friends. I talk with people on a weekly basis or daily basis with some of them and I am dating someone. They're not from the E&A specifically, but I wound up getting introduced to them through E&A. It's been a lot of fun. I meet a lot of interesting people and they’re a lot of fun to know. They plan things outside of E&A as well once you start getting to know them and they're all very friendly. They make sure you are part of the group even if you're new.

    I've been around Houston for 13 years but never heard of Events and Adventures until the last year of my marriage because of certain apps. I was careful about creating dummy email accounts and fake Facebooks so that you couldn't find me. But I was using the same IP Address in the phone and they were able to metadata that and get me the advertisement of Pandora which had the dating app. In my first event, I was curious. I'm a Freemason for 10 years now so I got the whole hangout camaraderie thing down. But the conversation doesn’t get much outside of guy talk. So, being single again and doing something else made me nervous.

    I attend an average of three events per week. I started in late February so it’s close to twenty. The bars we go to are nice, the camel races were cool and going out to the race track was neat. The sunset hike which is more of a walk along the Bayou is my favorite. One of the members said, "We stop over here by the Waugh Street Bridge." And I said, "What's that smell? Why did we stop here? It smells like a hobo camp." And they say, “No, look. It's the bats." I've lived here 10 years and didn't know that we had a bat colony that comes out at dusk.

    Aside from these, I’ve done sand volleyball three times and there are basketball watch parties at a bar we have. But nobody watched basketball. We played pool and drank beer. The mixers and new member orientation at the clubhouse are always fun which is like a big house party. It’s been a great experience with Events and Adventures.

I was pretty excited for my first event, but I was also really nervous and I usually don't get nervous about stuff like that. It was like going to Chic Pool, you go to a pool hall and I've never been to that pool hall. But they are really cool about it. I gave the event host a call, asked for directions and I was able to find them in four or five minutes. Everything was cool.

    The event seemed like a little bit of both an open and closed off environment. You always get the people that are really cool with other people because they've been there for a long time. A lot of people are very open and friendly and there might have always been one or two people that were too shy or something might be deeper there. It wasn't that they are unwelcoming. Also, ever since I've been going to more events, there are a few people who have opened up. Everyone is different and that's what make sense. It's the individuality and that's what makes us all different. So, that's cool and it wasn't a bad thing. When I took it at first, I was hoping I don't piss these people off but that's just who they are. They take a little longer to open up and I don't care.

    I've made friends and some potential significant others. It's funny how things work out. When I joined there, I was going the hole and I want to find this and that and do this and that. The more I get into it, I like this group of people. There isn't a rush and I like that mentality better. I chilled with 20 cool people and I would like to chill, eventually, with that one person. But at the same time, I'm such a people person and I think my wife's gonna hate me one day because I'd want to spend time with her but I want to spend a time with other people such as this.

    I've been to a lot of events. My first four months, I wasn't that good about it and then, finally one day, I thought I need to start going to these events. So, I went to an event on a Tuesday and I really like it. Then, I signed up for an event the next day and the event the day after that. Sometimes, I go to three or four events a week. Although I'm not sure if all the money is worth it because it is a very expensive club to be in. But I would definitely suggest it to a friend because I've been very satisfied with my experience.

For my first event with Events & Adventures, which was Kentucky Derby, I was a little nervous because I didn't know what to expect. But I was fine and everybody was really welcoming. They weren't being like fresh meat because a new person came in so, it was nice. I've been a member for a year.

I've also done karaoke, nightclub, Budgee Ball, Whirly Ball, beach volleyball, some of the dinners, a bicycle ride in Chicago and the runs. It's very fun and I have a bunch of friends.

    The same people that I talked to that got me in, do completely different view with other people but that wasn't clear. If the cost went up, you gave them cash to pay right away and I understood all that. But it ends up that's not how that is. I've met all these people and became good friends with them. I'm in a serious relationship and I don't know that I'll be going after two years and that's not the case for a lot of people and you can say you don't want it to have to be over in two years. Once I give them all that money and if I keep paying monthly, it seems unfair that people in sales know to do this kind of thing. I'm just a regular person who listens to the radio and I couldn't understand that. To me, that seems wrong and I don't understand why I get kicked out but other people don't. I didn't know that there's this whole negotiation thing because I'm a teacher and I'm not in business. My life is very cut-and-dry.

    There are other people who are members forever as long as they keep paying their monthly thing. To me, it seems fair. Once you get your initial money, why are some people cut out and some people are not? It's only because they were savvy enough to know business-wise that you can strike deals with people. I was trusting what you're saying that this is what it is and it's cheaper if I could pay all upfront but it's fine if I can't. Also, they could do a payment plan which is what I did and I totally understand that if I end up spending more over time doing that. That makes perfectly good sense to me.

    But I always thought I understand that since my payment plan was two years, I thought that I would go down to the $30 a month because mine's all put together. But, apparently, that's not the case and I'm just gone. That would seem wrong especially for the people that are really using it. But it's a fun way of being able to go out and it's nice when all the people plan your activities. I have recommended them to friends already.

    I like the events that Events & Adventures did. The Glow in the Dark Kickball was the best. There were only a couple of other things that glowed but then towards the end, it didn’t matter and it was really fun. I've attended about 5 events and I should probably do more activities. I plan to go to some events on a Saturday and Sunday in the next couple of weeks, one is a mixer and the other one is a Mimosa type of wine tour thing. However, my free time is pretty limited. I have a 5-year old and sometimes I would love to go to an event but it doesn’t work out as far as location and time frame because my child has a bed time.

    I like the ones that start at 6:00 versus ones that start at 6:30 and 7:30 because of the way that I got to drive to get to the place. And then with my child being babysit, I always look at the time I'll be getting home. And so asking for a babysitter to have the time of 5:30 to 9:30 can be kind of problematic, depending upon what day it is.

    Events and Adventures gives you an easy way to sign up but not an easy way out. They did a good job of starting me out and followed up when I started but didn't follow up afterward. They seem excited to get me on board but when you don't want to do it anymore, you can't get out. There probably is a way but I'm not familiar with it. I left two messages and I never got a call back. I already paid so it wasn't about the money. I hurt my knee and got busy. The experience so far has been good, it's just the cancellation.

    Events and Adventures has unique events set up. When I went in for the interview, there was a trapeze class and that’s something I would never sign up for on my own. Before arriving in my first event, I felt good. I’d gotten a rundown from the guy who signed me up about what happens. But I’ve only been on the games night and volleyball.

I also go to the sports events or beach volleyball and I've been to a few of the indoor ones but not so much. I've met a couple of nice people and I made one friend and four other people that I hang out with while I'm there. However, it would be nice if they were a little bit more selective in their group. They just accept anybody. Also, the organization is not great as they cancel events at the last moment. It's run more like a frat party than a group. I was little disappointed with my experience but at the same time, it gave me some good ideas with things to do with other people.

    Events & Adventures really seem to check people out pretty carefully. I liked that they interviewed you first and it wasn’t just like a dating site where you go online and fill out all the application. I think the first event I went to was handled very nicely. I've also gone to a lock-in, an escape out, a Halloween Party which is the biggest event I went to, a few dinners, a painting class, a dance class and one where you meet for drinks and appetizers. I've only been to a handful because the way my work schedule is but everyone has always been very pleasant and open and those were all things that I wanted to do. I've made some new friends and I haven't really done as much as I probably should have for what I'm paying but I have enjoyed the times that I've gone.

    Also the website is well done with plenty of activities that’s more within my schedule, as well as things that are out of cost and just enough free activities. There was something every night and for all ages. There's something for people in their 30s, for people there that are 46 and some older people, too. It's a very well-to-do tight group that runs it. They're there and keeping an eye on things and yet people can do whatever they want. It's very well organized. It’s a good time and I’d recommend them to friends.

    When I went in to do my interview and all that and signed up, I specifically asked several times if there were events out closer to my area because, on their website, they have a location in Johnsburg. At that time, they said no and that location has since closed but they reassured me that at least 50% of our events happen out in that area but none that I have seen.

    It was interesting that Events and Adventures were specifically targeted for singles in Chicagoland area for people who want to go out and do something and not just sit around and be bored. I've only done one event and I've been a member for two months now. It was kind of a different experience for me while I was at the event and we were doing the escape room, everything was great. Then afterward, we all hung out in the general common area then we all decided to go next door and grab a drink or some food. There were 30 people involved, 15 people walked over. Within five minutes, there were four of us left and nobody said anything. The rest of the group just kind of walked out without notifying anybody else. It didn't sit right with me.

    I haven't really looked for another event. I've only looked to see if there's any event out closer to me because if I'm going to spend my time and that kind of money, I want to be doing things that I like to do and other people like to do and then socialize afterward. Instead of going to the event and then bolt especially if I'm going to invest three plus hours in the car to get to that. It's a non-refundable thing and most of the events are in the city of Chicago and I live 50-70 miles outside of the city. I was excited at first, exhilarating when there, but disappointing overall.

    I heard about Events and Adventures advertised on the radio as a social gathering, not a dating service so I went with it. I was a little anxious on my first event but when I arrived, the people there were friendly and very welcoming. We went around by saying our names and where we were from. I’ve attended over 50 events since November. We went zip lining and last week, we had bubble soccer. We also went to see and learn about the llamas and we’re going to England in June.

    I've been single for a while and Events and Adventures helps me get out of the house. I am not pressured in trying to meet someone. As a matter of fact, I'm 62 and I'm the oldest one there. The average age would be in the mid or late 30s but it's fun to be around the kids and watching and getting to know them. There's not very many men my age in it but I have met some lady friends. As a matter of fact, I'm going to roam with one in England. We’ve done some things outside of the group too and it's great.

    The only thing is it’s a catch-22. It's a little expensive but you know that the people that are investing in this are committed. They are not just your run-of-the-mill person on the free online dating site. They are professional people which I tend to be more comfortable with. Even security-wise, I'm not thinking there's somebody in there to scam me. It's not cheap but you get what you pay for. I'll definitely recommend them if somebody could afford it.

    My cousin kept telling me about the singles group and he would not stop talking about this thing for a month. You go to events and you keep meeting the same people. You get a chance to meet somebody and continue to see them and things work. I said, "When are you gonna join? You keep talking about this." He said, "Yeah, I heard it on the radio and I looked it up." He told me that it was Events & Adventures and I said, "Oh okay. Text that to me so I can look into it." I went into the website and I put my information and then I got called. The rep said, "Well, you can come in and I can give you more information." I went and talked to Jody and I said this is a whole different thing than online dating.

    It was a little better because you get to meet people face to face instead of not being sure if you're meeting someone for real or what their true intentions are. I started thinking that this would be something better than what I've been doing so far because I really want to meet somebody and eventually be married. All the things that are out there now sucked for me. I've never been married and I don't have kids and I get rejected because of that. You don't have to deal with the drama or anything like that. Also, I'm 47 but I'm a young 47. My age is not a big deal. I also do better face to face than through email or messaging so I went on to Events & Adventures.

    I'm very social so arriving at my first event didn't even matter to me. I went with a plan. I knew everybody there was single so it was okay. In a normal situation, when you go into a group setting or a bar, you have to assess the place. You know who's out there looking for somebody and who isn't and you can tell that by their demeanor in the place. But at least with Events and Adventures, you know they're single and they're there for a reason. Especially for the women because you don't have to worry about a guy playing with a double life. If he's married, he's married, but he's out there messing around and vice versa.

    I did a lot of the summer stuff and there were no weekends for me. However, the biggest hang up I have about Events & Adventures was that it was more Chicago-based and I'm not from Chicago. I'm in the suburbs. I can't go to a lot of the weekly events because I get out at about seven and by the time I get to Chicago, either the event is over or I don't want to participate anymore because I've been sitting in traffic for an hour and a half. I've met a lot of people from Naperville or from Waukegan. There's nothing that's going to be close to a person that joined from Waukegan unless they come to Chicago.

    I met some friends but I'm not looking for guy friends. Every time I go now, I try to get a number or try to get to talk to somebody. However, there has been some situations that I ran into which I was disappointed. It was the Valentine's event and halfway through the event, I've seen this girl and I have to go say hi to her because she was gorgeous. But she was grouped up and she was dancing with her girlfriend and these two other guys.

    Eventually, that girl sat down so I said, "Hi, how you doin'? Is someone staying here?" She said, "No." I sat down and had a conversation and she told me that she came with a friend that is also part of the event. I started telling her about the event, what it's about and what they do. It was a simple conversation. Her friend came up and said, "Excuse me. This is my friend and she's not allowed to talk to anybody that we don't know." I said, "Okay. So, why didn't she say that?" We were engaged in a conversation and her friend grabbed her from the chair and took her to the dance floor. I let that slide but that was rude.

    Also, there were a couple of events where you would go and you would assume things and they wouldn't be true. The first one that I went to, I thought it was catered and we pitched in a few dollars. But, they just reserved tables and then you order your own food and they put it on one bill. I said, "We put them all in one bill? I don't wanna do that. I don't know these people. How do I know they're not gonna walk out and just leave whoever the last person with the bill? You guys gotta be more careful."

    I talked to the person that's running the thing and I said, "You know what, that'll be just nice that you guys would be cutting clear of what is to be expected on stuff like this because if that's the case, I rather just eat before I go and then worry about my own drinks or whatever the case may be." Just be forward, don't try to massage and say, "Oh yeah, there's dinner and we're gonna this, we're gonna do that." Then, it's not. However, it has gotten better. They listened on that one.

    But right now, what I'm seeing and it's starting to get annoying was that it was getting real cliquey. It's all about the Chicago people and the suburb people were not part of the clique. I even froze for two months because I don't want to see them anymore. We can't get into the mix there. It doesn't mean that I don't try to get involved with some of those conversations, but after you see them a few times, you know there's nothing there. The rep kept saying we're getting about 20 new people a day. I said, "Well every time I come out, it's the same people. Where're the more people?" When they had something close to me during the week that I was able to go to, I met different people which was cool. But, there were still the same few that likely go to all the events which is good because that's what it's there for. You want to go to an event constantly because you're paying for it.

But I don’t think I’d recommend them to my friends because most of them are married already and they’re older. I would be happy if there’s actually a lot of people in their 50’s and 60’s during the surfing. I’m really old, so there’ll be no man there for me, which is too bad.

I've also done hikes, bowling and movie nights, but I haven't done any trips. I enjoyed the wine tasting and I've done the fund-raising event three times as well. Then we're walking around the lake this coming Wednesday. The ages range from 22 and up, and it would depend on how active one would want to be. There are events every day and sometimes two per day on the weekends. Also, there's usually a good activity or two indoors if it's raining outside. So, it’s a nice variety of things to do.

    I used to go to their events three times a week but I haven’t been to an event in a little while because I was busy with other things. So far, though, I’ve gone to 15 events. I like people and like all the events. But my favorite is the ice castle one ‘cause that was unique. We went out to Stillwater which is a town on the river. You can go for the day and go antiquing. It’s really pretty and it’s even better in the summer. People get their boats out in the summer and it’s really cool. I hope they have an event over there in the summer. We went there in the winter, though, and they built up this whole ice castle thing. You can walk through it and little kids can go sliding. It was really sweet.

    I’ve made a lot of female friendships through Events & Adventures and that to me has been more valuable. I appreciate the friendships I made there. There are some nice guys but I don’t want to date any guys in there. It’s my activities place and it’s more valuable to me from that perspective. I like to keep it clean and keep the boundaries good. The Minnesota branch of Events & Adventures does such a good job but there are some minor things I would see as areas of improvement. It’s always tough to think of activities to do but maybe they can get more creative with the activities. I’m an outdoorsy person so maybe we could do more hiking or that kind of thing.

    I heard about Events and Adventures in a radio ad. I got interested in the different activities that they offered. My first event was helping set up a smaller party that was going to be held the next day and I was little nervous. But after that, I wasn't nervous anymore. A have attended between 5 to 10 events. Those were hiking, a baseball game, a party and archery, which was cool. I have made one friend although we haven't gone outside of the events but no significant others.

    I was interested about meeting single women through Events & Adventures. I was nervous before my first event but it became better. It was with a younger crowd. I'm 46 years old and the men and the women were 35 or below. But if one is looking for a significant other, maybe later on down the road, you don't want to be wasting time with that age group. And that's one thing I like about the 35 and up thing because it separates the two together, where the younger crowds are there for the adventure more than poking up with somebody. Talking to other people out there seems like the older ones are looking for some long-term companionship. And I understand that because when you're 35 and above, your day-by-day is getting shorter than when you are younger and knows what you’re looking for because you got more experience that you’ve seen.

    The bowling event was fun because at the beginning, when I was just learning and starting out, I go there and they introduced me to new people. I signed up an hour before and after that, I got to bowl with them and that’s pretty cool. The other one was learning how to do the swing dancing. That was fun at The Caves in Saint Paul. I thought it was a neat establishment to have it there and I couldn't believe that there was that many people that were into swing dancing. The only downfall about that was it was a little loud. So, once people go out and dance and then come back, it was a hard to communicate because the band was playing. Curling in Chaska was also a good time because I got to mingle with people and they were there too just to say that they did curling before because I've never done it. That was nice and it was the same crowd too.

    I've talked to a couple gals but they are just searching it out. Maybe I'm not pushing myself enough. But on those events, it will happen where I don't want to be too pushy. But then, I don't want to be too laid back. In my case, if I was looking for more adventures, I would really push just to keep the events the same. But maybe do something different, like bowling for the older crowd and then all bowling from the younger crowd. Also, it's hard to talk to some women who just got divorced or separated within the last year because I already went down that road. I'm not ready to jump back into something and have it happen too quick twice in a row. Everybody is on the same page as everybody that one of them just keeps going to the event and they'll find it. I understand it's gonna take time.

    Tonight, I'm going to a mingle and it's 35 and over. It's my third one and they're cool because I meet other people more my age, where I don't have a problem with talking to the younger group. There is also a walk around in Lake Calhoun on Wednesday. Then I'm going zip lining on Saturday. I've never done that before, but it looks neat. I'm also signed up to the murder mystery on Friday, but I'm on the waiting list. So, hopefully that will open up. Overall, for only being in it for three month, it’s been an interesting experience with Events & Adventures.

    I was apprehensive before my first event with a small group of people doing Escape Room. It was a little far away from my place but it was in the area I'm familiar with so it was good. I also did snowshoeing which was my favorite, a dinner in Vancouver and then I went to a Saint Patty's day thing at a club downtown. There are a few girls who were nice and friendly. But it's very cliquey and the group was very segregated. Everyone knows each other and it's not very welcoming. I went into one event and left an hour later. The hosts aren't always great. They can be uninviting and catty. So, my experience is not good and I have not signed up for another event since.

    I wouldn't recommend Events and Adventures at this point. The idea is great and they pick some interesting and new things to do all the time and I like that. I also like that they do things over all the areas of the lower mainland and there's something for everybody. However, they need to splurge and have talented people to be the host. People who are wonderful at letting newcomers feel welcome and making everyone feel a part of the group and getting people to intermingle. They like to use their members as hosts and that's a way to get out of paying people to do that. But with my experience, that's not the best move for the company. I've spent over $2,000 on this and I'm regretting it. I wish I hadn't done it but I'll go to more events and hopefully, my experience will improve the more I get to know people.

    I got tired of going to the same places and do things over and over again. I signed up with Events and Adventures and I've been in for a couple of years now. At first, I was a little bit nervous and the experience was nerve-racking, and then it’s simply getting into the swing of things. They had new members’ meetings and there were some people that had been it for a while but they were simply there for the event following but it was very welcoming so I felt comfortable. We did camping trips which were good. I love singing and we’ve also done a lot of karaoke. We’ve gone to movies and we also went to Vegas one time together. I've been to places and events that I wouldn't even look into on my own. I've made friends and also dated a couple of people. They didn’t really work out but we’re still cool.

    Being a member has been an easier way to meet people that are like-minded, simply want to go out and have fun. It’s also easier to talk to people whether it be female or vice versa. It’s also not like that pressure moment where you’re in a club on your own or friends, and try and do all the work. You’re already on a level playing field with that person so you’re both there for the same event and then you can simply talk and take some of that pressure out.

    I'd like to meet new friends and do light activities. My daughter mentioned Events and Adventures to me and I looked them up online, and I signed up. At first, I was nervous about meeting new people but I've made new friends. I'm almost 61 and most of the folks are younger. I found a female travel buddy and we're going to an England-Scotland trip. I've gone to about 20 of their events. I liked the activities where there were more guys than girls because I want to find a significant other. It's fine to be with guys even though I enjoyed meeting some of the girls. We did fun activities like Topgolf and skeet shooting.

    On the other hand, it was high-pressure at the very beginning to get into it. A lot of times, we try out first before we buy, like to having a one-month membership, or simply go as a guest to a couple of the events to see what they’re like. I couldn’t walk away and change mind. Also, I have some friends that might want to go to a couple of events. But if you came in first, they want you to sign up at the very beginning. The company would get more people to join if they were able to come as a guest. But overall, it was fun, I had new adventures and I got to meet people that live in the area.

    With Events & Adventures, there were events already organized with a group of people. Before arriving, I had doubts about what kind of people were there but that changed when I arrived. There were nice people. I've gone to salsa class, a night at the planetarium, a tour in the city, and bowling which is my favorite. But I had one experience that wasn't very good. When they say there is a dinner organized after the event and they suggest the place, I thought this was included in the event since I paid a ticket for the planetarium that was higher than the normal ticket that I'd pay if I go alone. But the host did not organize it well.

    The restaurant that was on the website was permanently closed. We stayed ten minutes looking for another restaurant that was quite close but the parking was terrible. So, finally, I wrote to the host that I wasn't going because it wasn't well organized and I couldn't find any parking space. And he replied, "The dinner after is not included in the event." So if the dinner after is not included in the event, then it should not be on the website.

I didn't know anybody and when I got there, I didn't know what we were doing. There wasn't a lot of guidance through it. It was awful. I have done three events at the most but I haven't done any trip. None of the events have stood out as being or has been phenomenal. But, the favorite event I did was taking a boat ride with all the guys on the Houston Channel. I had the most fun out of that and had a good time. I made a couple of girl friends but I haven't met any guys.

    I was a little bit disappointed in the cost of everything. After paying the membership fee and then paying additional for things, it was expensive for the different events. In some cases they tell us we're getting a discount but I'm not sure that we are. So, I've been cautious about what I've done to make sure I would enjoy it.

    Events & Adventures is a club that gets you to go out and do things. You're not going off and doing something yourself. There’s a group you can hang out with. And even if you don't know them very well, they’re all very accommodating and welcoming, which is the best thing about the whole thing and it doesn't matter if you know them or not. You've got yourself a whole bunch of new friends. Since joining Events and Adventures I've been to a lot of events. I ended up bailing on the first event that I signed up for. I was a bit nervous and I really didn't enjoy the vibe that people there gave off. But with the second event that I went to, everybody was really chill.

    I try to aim now for six events a month. I've been here since August and I haven't always made it with all the rain but it's been a good number. My two favorite that we've done have both been up Mount Hermon Adventures. We did zip lining in December and that was at twilight. It was dark out and so that was really cool. Then, we went back there in January or February and we did a rope course adventure. I've also gone beer tasting, played beach volleyball and went to karaoke a couple of times. I've done bowling a number of times and last weekend I did archery tag which was amazing.

    Joining Events and Adventures was a way to get out and meet new people and do some activities that I liked to do, but wouldn't necessarily do them by myself. And it helps to possibly meet someone somewhere down the road that had the same interest that I do. I was a little nervous when I first joined an event because I didn't know anyone. The good thing was it was close to home and it was a very public place where even if I wasn't comfortable, I would've been comfortable anyway because it's a place I've been before. I went up to the front desk and they directed me to where my group was. Once I was over by the group, the coordinator was very accommodating and made sure that everyone knew I was new to make me feel welcome.

    At this point, I've been to six or seven events. I travel a lot, so I was gone for a three-week time. I just got back and did two events this weekend and I have more planned for this week. I've only been a member since the end of January and I've enjoyed every one of the events I attended such as what we did yesterday at a glass fusion place. But it was mostly girls, so that defeats the purpose of possibly meeting someone. I also enjoyed my first time when we went to Main Event and we did laser tag and bowling. That was fun because it was very interactive and there were lots of guys and girls out there.

    There's a wide range of activities, whether they be physical or not. Events and Adventures try to satisfy everybody's needs and they are satisfying mine as far as the variety of events that they offer. Unfortunately, I only made lady friends. I also noticed during the new members game night that most of the members are younger than I am, which was fine. But I keep hoping one of these times there will be more male participants that are in my age range. Other than that, I'm very happy with Events and Adventures and I would recommend it over and over again.

    I joined the Events & Adventures club because it would narrow down who I want to hang out with, the fact that they are single or educated. I wasn't sure what to expect but I figured that the lady liked me when she signed me up and it was true. The girls are nice and older. But the guys were all awkward and weird and they'll immediately try to hit on you. They just seem to be there to get something. I was told they would be nice, younger guys, but that's not the case at all.

    The only thing that's good is the two other girls that I met were really nice and they're all my age. So, I made a couple of friends. But they say that they have the same experience. They're like, "No. These guys are gross. Don't talk to any of them." And they said there's so many members. And I'm like, "Really? There's like 20 that are always the same awkward people." They lied to me. I feel like it's a scam.

    Moreover, there's rarely events in my area. And it says like some you pay for, some they pay for but there's literally nothing they pay for. I'm paying for this service but every single thing I would go to, I pay for my food, my drinks, and for the activity. Nothing is free. I signed up mid-February and I've been to six events. The worst thing is that I paid for a specific calendar and the one I signed up for was $30 and then I cancelled it three days in advance because I realized I couldn't go. But it still says I owe $30.

    I talked to someone from their accounting department to tell that that this is a mistake. I cancelled and didn't go to the event. It shows on my calendar that I cancelled it. But they said it doesn't matter. So I thought that's a scam. I still owe them $30 but I don't want to pay for it and I'm not sure what's gonna happen with that. In their end, it says that I cancelled three days after the event. But that's impossible because when I once chose a different event that I went to and tried to cancel it, it wouldn't let me because it's after the event. But they do not care.

    But one of the few bright sides to this was this really cool indoor mini-golf event in San Francisco, and of course, you pay for your own entry into it. Some engineers created it and it's really cool. I would have never gone if I hadn't done Events and Adventures. But I'm paying for a calendar of events that I could do on my own. I can have a friend on my own.

Before arriving for my first event, I was hoping people are friendly and when I got there, pretty much everybody's looking for the same thing. I like how they plan everything and then you just show up when you sign up for it. But they were also open to suggestions. There was a hang gliding event that I wanted to do but it filled up so fast that I didn't get to sign up for it. So, I said that they put that back on and the hosts told me they'll see what they can do after trying new things first.

    I've been to around eight events and my favorite so far are the dancing ones. How to Moon was my very first one and that was so much fun. Then, there was also one that I forgot to read the itinerary and it was supposed to be formal but I dressed casually. So, I was a little out of place but I still had a good time and that was an amazing one also. I've made some new friends going to these events and when I brought a friend to an event while I was in Dallas, she met someone in the group and they're dating now. I'm open to meeting new people, but I haven't met someone yet and I'm not into rushing anything. Also, I feel like maybe if you meet someone and get married, then you're obligated to get out of it and that damages the fun for a little bit. But E & A has been good so far and I feel like they should have it everywhere. I've had a really good time, that's why I've recommended it to a bunch of friends.

    I saw an ad on the SkyTrain station and I liked the idea about Events and Adventures. This matches my style and I also like to be open with people and get to know more friends. I'm very social so it was a great idea. I liked it and I looked forward to it. On my first event, I was hoping to find nice people and get to have a warm welcome, warm greetings and warm setting. From that moment on, the socializing, I have a little concern about it. We've chat from the beginning, each one had to do introductions of themselves just to break the ice and let everyone talk but it made everyone sitting there just stating their names and where they live. It's just a question and answer and doesn't look natural. We came there to hang out, chat and explore whatever the question comes up and not to feel obligated, just to fill in the blanks when the host wanted us to do that.

    I have attended tons of events and adventures but my favorite ones were those that I have enjoyed the company, more than the event itself. So, restaurants and activities, I've done most of them and I don't have any enjoyment in the event itself. I had more enjoyment with the people that I hang out with. The company made the events enjoyable or not.

    In the Events and Adventures, I found people are making groups within groups. It's like when I came here, I'm a single person and the first to come in but it wasn't even hard for me to blend into any group. Although, it defeats the purpose which is to hang out and sit together and get to know each one without barriers, without boundaries because that's what we're all there for. I also found that the people are sometimes a little bit conservatives and they just speak to the people that they know and that's it. However, we have signed up and I wanted to maximize the use of my membership. It was a new experience although not exciting to find what I'm expecting to find.

I was a bit nervous before arriving at my first event, which was a bike trip to Chicago, and I didn't know what to expect. The event, however, hot kinda canceled due to rain. Unfortunately, only three members had a bike and five other people didn't, so they had to go and rent. They said "go ahead" and we found out later that they tried to rent a bike but couldn't because the rental was closed. So, there were only three of us left biking. I was not very interested because I was looking for a bigger group.

    One problem is that a lot of the events are in Chicago. I live in the suburbs and there aren't many events there. Nevertheless, when I renewed my membership, they gave me a discount for living far away. Despite this, the trips I have attended have been too many to count. I try to go once a week and I've been going for a year and a half. I've gone skydiving, line dancing and camping. I've also played volleyball, wallyball and archery tag. Also, I've attended the New Year's Eve, Halloween and 1920's Gangster parties. The skiing trips have been the best. I've made a lot of friends and gone on a couple of dates and I'm having a fun time.

    I needed to get social, and I needed to meet new people and I was looking for a date. I then joined Events and Adventures in October. I was nervous, excited, and scared before I went to my first event, but it was fun after I mingled a little bit. I went to four events a month since I joined. I started with archery, and then I went bowling a couple of times. I've been out to eat a few times as well. In addition, I even went to their New Year's Eve party and it was just a lot of drinking. I also went to their game nights at a bar, and it was fun. I used to like bowling on Fridays where they had new people, but they haven't been doing that for a long time now.

    However, I haven't been there much in January and February because it feels very awkward in a lot of situations. Also, the same kind of people are going, and I don't feel like I belong there anymore. They haven't been offering things that I wanted to do, and with my last couple of experiences there, I wanted to shoot myself, so I didn't go. But I'll go to their events again. I just have to work it out. Moreover, if people want to be social and meet new people, there are a lot of cheaper ways to do it. I've found several meetups that do the same thing like Events and Adventures, and they don’t cost anything. So, I would try the meetup first.

    In the past, I had a lot of friends and we would get together. However, as soon as everyone got their own jobs after college, that started to fade away and I was bored out of my mind. I got interested in Events and Adventures because it was a place that does fun things practically every day. I was very energetic before arriving at my first event and I really had fun.

    Since then, I've attended events and trips twice a week on average. I've attended volleyball, escape rooms as well as parties inside clubhouses and suites. So far, my favorite event was the new year's eve party because it was long and packed. It felt like a true event. However, I pay a $100 a month minimum while others pay more. I'm wondering where the $100 is going to because we end up paying full price for all the events anyway. It seems a bit overpriced.

    It's been fantastic to be with Events & Adventures. They have outgoing people and an uplifting environment. I was interested in its active events and adventures and yet being single, trying to hopefully meet somebody. Before arriving at my first event I was nervous and a little apprehensive. My feelings changed when I arrived and mingled with others a little bit. It was still awkward because I'm not an outgoing person at first. But once I met a couple of the host, they were extremely easy-going, relaxed and they joked around a lot. It wasn't a real stiff situation. They were very normal people, they weren't stiff and boring and they had a lot to talk about. I have made new male and female friends from the events I've attended.

    I've only done two trips with Events & Adventures and some of the hiking events with the hiking group. I plan to join several activities in the future. They have so many coming up and I don't know what to choose because I can't do all of them. They've got a very good calendar lined out for March. Right now I'm facing a little bit of a struggle because I just got laid off from my job. I'm struggling how to make the additional monthly payment that I'm committed to. That is a little bit of a stress but I'll figure it out.

    I'm at a point where I needed to get out and I was interested with the variety of activities Events and Adventures has. The club is more social than anything and one could do about anything. I was fine before arriving at my first event. I've gone to several events and I'm usually going on my own. I don't know too many people but everybody is super friendly. And one always got the host person, which is nice. So they're looking out for the member. I have done four or five events and the first one was a dinner. We did a meet and greet. A Light Festival at night on the weekend was another one. I've done Cards Against Humanity, which had many many disclaimers. It was hilarious, cool and most people joining the game were strangers but not after playing the game. The hosts were so good too. If one gets easily offended, he/she should forget playing it. I was trying to explain the game to a newbie but one has to play it to know how it's played.

    My next event is a band and a happy hour on a Saturday. In the events I've attended, there are a couple of people that I've seen and whom I’m Facebook friends but we haven't done anything outside of that or haven't hooked up to do anything else. It's just a friendly group. I also love to say that Maggie in Phoenix, who is our lead person, is fantastic. We have a private Facebook page about asking us, "Hey, I heard about this" or "Heard about that. What do you think?" and we get to vote. One gets to be part of the process and it's not just Maggie picking for the events.

    Events & Adventures is a singles clubs that is not online. I attended four of their events and one trip. The two bigger activities I went to were the Valentine’s Day party and the trip to Tahoe. The trip was a lot of fun and we stayed in a home. I also have regular events planned with them too like the going out type events. With Events & Adventures, I found a couple of really good friends which was surprising and nice. And although I haven't found a significant other, I'm hopeful I will. I've had good experiences with the company and I enjoyed them. I'm happy with the group and it's worth the money that I spent to join it.

    Overall, my experience with Events & Adventures has been easygoing, comfortable, enjoyable and fun. I liked that I was able to meet different people and we were divided into different ages, and I'm in an older bracket. Also, there are a lot of things to do whether it’s entertainment, hanging out and talking, and some other different activities in meeting new people.

    I've been to three events, and my first event was scary but the people made me comfortable. And, I was not the only one that was first to be there. There were other people in the same situation who were just needing to go out and meet other people, instead of going home and be on the same route. I wasn’t crazy about my last one, though, because we sat in booths and I wasn't able to talk to people other than the three people in front of me. But I enjoyed the new event in a hotel. It was pretty cool and it's something that I wouldn't do myself on a Monday night. And I'm thinking about going to the Brazilian food thing next.

    I was single and I figured that what I was doing in the past or the people I was with wasn’t working so I thought why not give something different a try and interact with people that I can get to know before I jump into a relationship and try to make it work out. I tried to attend activities by Events and Adventures as much as I could especially on the weekends depending on what they offer. Any kind of food event or active event, I try to be there. They have a variety of things to offer but a lot of their events are so late and they are in Houston. I work until the next day and then a lot of their stuff was drinking so I try to avoid the drinking part.

    It was nice that I'm out doing stuff and meeting people but there was one particular person that has made it very miserable for at least four women in the group and they try to avoid different activities if that person's going to be there. But it was not the company’s fault ‘cause we haven’t complained about it. Other than that, it was definitely a different experience. I got to meet a lot of people and do things that I normally wouldn't do. Being a female, I’m not used to getting that much attention and Events and Adventures gets me out there. There were a lot of people that were interested in me and it was uncomfortable going to these events. Sometimes they start becoming more interested the more that they hang out in these groups, and sometimes it’s a little irritating.

    Also, they say they do a background check on people and make sure they’re not married and that reassured me. But they don’t and that disappointed me ‘cause I found out a few of the people that were in the group were going through a divorce. Then I have two friends that have tried to submit paperwork saying that they no longer want to be in a contract with Events and Adventures and they both got denied. They still have to pay for three years and that’s a lot of money. I feel bad for these people that can’t get out of it but I was lucky enough to sign up for the shortest period there was. But the downfall to that is, I don’t get the best for my money.

    There were a lot of activities that they were doing or at least as it sounded on the ads so that's why I looked into Events and Adventures. At first, I was a little nervous because I am going in not knowing anybody but that's somewhat mitigated by knowing that you have to go and meet the host. I was calmed down by that. Now, I've been at it for about a year and probably have about two or three events a month. I've done the whitewater rafting, which is my favorite. It was out of town as well as the New Year's, which was on the island this year. In the first event we were camping but in the second case, the hotel was fabulous. We're doing Harrison Hot Springs next weekend. I did that last year as well and that hotel was great too. I also do a lot of the sports. I've done their axe throwing, volleyball, and wallyball. We also did whiskey tasting.

    My experience has been more since I'm dating someone from the club. It sounds a little bit counterintuitive, but it's more of a friendship thing for me. I have also made about 10 or 12 close friends. I see them inside and outside of the club. So a lot of my friendships have kind of spanned over severe age gaps. And that's the reality of the club, so I wasn't expecting a lot younger of a crowd. And they find me a little bit of an older one, but that's been really great in creating friends in that crowd as well so that's been fine.

    Events & Adventures was advertised on the radio in the early '90s so when I got divorced, it came up, and I went to join. The events and the way it was event-oriented was really good. I was really excited arriving at my first event then I got to know somebody and I got more comfortable. I loved the club and it was good. For me, it worked out great and it's one of the best things I ever did. I was doing about five events a month. I did the bonfires on the beach and then I really enjoyed the rappelling and zip line. Up in Murphys, we did the caverns and then we did some pistol shooting on an indoor range a couple of times. There were also different kinds of dancing, which were good. They were all great.

    I made lots of friends. There isn't pressure to go out with somebody type of thing. The events are what it's more focused on, which I really like. I wasn't looking for someone special but there's a pretty awesome lady I met in the club right at the end of my membership and I'm seeing her pretty regular right now. My membership expired at the end of January but if I'm ever single again, the first thing I'm gonna do is to go back. It was a really fantastic experience and it got me out doing things that I may not have ever done before. Thus, I've told everybody I know about Events & Adventures.

Both the bowling and Tahoe adventure were good. However, it's been somewhat disappointing since there aren’t as many of the opposite sex that I thought there might be, particularly at my age.

    I liked the kind of structure or strategy of people getting together and doing fun things. Before I arrived at my first Events and Adventures event, I knew what to expect and I was comfortable. I had an interview with someone from the company and they gave me access to the internet and the calendars, and I had the chance to go over their ground rules. I have attended about 6 events over 6 months and I liked that they did a number of board game nights. Those were nice because they were typically a smaller group and I was able to talk to people easily. I also did a rooftop party and a couple of hikes.

    However, I canceled my membership at the start of the month. The experience was good but not worth the money to continue. The concept is great but a lot of the events were in the city and I'm in the suburbs. A lot of people in the group had to travel from far distances. And if they were on week nights, it was really hard to attend with the traffic and everything. Events and Adventures could probably have a greater variety of locations. And because it is such a large group, I didn't necessarily see the same people from one event to the next. So, I didn't really get to develop the relationship that way.

    Though some of the member hosts were really good, had been with the group for a while, and were organized, some of them were not. For one activity that I went to, they didn't send out an update until two hours before the event. It was an hour and a half's drive so I didn't find the group because the location was a large park. I ended up walking around by myself, which wasn't the point. And when I looked it up later, they said always double-check before an event. That's not always feasible when one is traveling from such a distance.

    I would probably recommend Events and Adventures to somebody who is in the city because they could attend more events or if they are new and are looking to meeting more people. But for someone like me who works full-time and lives in the suburbs, I would tell them it is hard to make the activities and there might be better options for them.

    I travel a lot and having some things to do when I was in and out of town sounded good. I'd moved from another state too and didn’t know many people and so I got interested to join Events and Adventures. I went to some events with friends before I joined the club so I was perfectly comfortable going to the first event. However, the first event was so different from any hikes and after that event, I was questioning whether I was gonna enjoy E&A. But this was many years ago, and I've been a member for more than 15 years now. I do 20 events a year, including go-karting as well as some of the summertime sunset cruises which I've enjoyed. I haven't particularly found significant others but I've made a good number of friends that I'm still friends with over the years.

    However, I liked Events & Adventures quite a few years ago when we would have a place to gather during the week before an event at a theater like the 5th Avenue or Benaroya Hall. Before we go to something during a weekday night, it was a lot nicer when there was an optional gathering someplace where you could get a bite to eat or drink and mingle before you went into the darkened theater sitting in assigned seats. That’s because by the time the show is over on a Wednesday or Thursday night, nobody stays around to mingle. It doesn’t make for much of an event or an adventure if you just show up half an hour before an event standing around in a lobby and then you go and sit down in your assigned seats. Then you go through something that’s a couple of hours long, and then everybody heads to the bathroom and out different doors. The next thing you know, pretty much everybody’s gone.

    Also, what we used to do worked really well when if you're going to the 5th Avenue Theatre, people would join up and mingle at Rock Bottom across the streets. Then people that couldn’t make it by that time could go ahead and get their tickets before a show. For people that work Downtown, it doesn’t make sense to drive home and then back into town. There are a lot of events in town during the week where people have to kill time until they can join up with the group, and often people wind up killing time by eating by themselves in the neighborhood or hanging out and having a drink in the neighborhood of where the event will be. That’s something I miss about E&A.

    I joined Events & Adventures in 2013 as a lifetime member. I was interested in the events they have and to hang out with people. I went to events such as dancing, bowling, volleyball events, and concerts in New York City and now in San Francisco. My favorite event was the silent disco, treasure hunting with clues in Times Square.

    Events & Adventures do a good job. It's a great concept of having events for singles but what I don't like, especially in San Francisco, is that they change the event coordinators way too often. Depending on the event coordinator, the quality of events drops or increases. Some are really awesome and very creative and some are just not quite and that changes basically every six months, so it doesn't help. But overall, it's a good, fun thing to do.

    Events and Adventures did a lot of activities and it seemed like a great opportunity to both meet people and do things since I was still fairly new to the area. I was a little bit anxious the first time since I wasn’t sure what it was all about, but it changed after a few events where I started to meet and recognize people that I have seen before and then developed a comfort zone. Since joining I've gone to cooking at Anita's numerous times, and I recently did a tour of the baseball stadium here in Seattle. I've also done a number of party cruises and I've been to the Halloween parties. I used to enjoy the sailing outings that they had on the Mallory Todd. We also did a weekend sailing trip to the San Juans, and that was a lot of fun as well. I loved the event coordinator, but I'm also glad that they have a new event coordinator because it's now fresh.

    Traveling was fine and it was organized well enough, but it's highly overpriced so I tend to avoid most trips because it can be done for much less. I've been with tour companies so I understand I can put in the itinerary and basically get the same trip with a tour company with a guide for approximately 40% to 50% off from what E&A charges. I know that unless I go with a singles group, tours tend to be couples-oriented and there's a different dynamic there, but it doesn’t change the fact that E&A overprices the trips. Overall, Events and Adventures is a good group that holds a real attraction for certain people who need to learn the area, meet new people and make new friends, whether you're new to town or coming out of a relationship and all of a sudden find that all your friends are married and unavailable. With them I get to meet new people virtually every time I go out to an outing or an event.

    I've been married twice and I was interested in planned events where I didn't have to think about it and meeting people that are already assembled for me so I don't have to go and meet someone at a bar. I've been a member since 2010. During my first event with them, I was nervous but I was welcomed into the group. There was a host who was very nice too.

    I've been to a lot of their events. I started out more in sports like volleyball, mingles and bowling. I then got into the camp fires and the fall events which I love. The fall party buses were fine. We do Halloween runs too where we go to different spook houses. We carved pumpkins at the office over wine and cookies, and then we feed starving children. I got a whole bunch of upcoming events scheduled such as the Super Bowl party I'm going to next week. I have pneumonia this week so I can't go anywhere, but I'm planning on going out on Sunday if I feel better. I like to paint pictures too and sometimes there's pottery. I also love game night and I do it every month.

    I made a lot of friends through Events & Adventures. I heard that Events and Adventures probably made me a happier person because I had somewhere to go and I made some friends. However, we've had a few problems in the organization because they keep changing the venues. I signed up because an event is at a certain venue then I find out on the day of the event that they changed the venue. Also, sometimes it doesn't make sense because if you're going to have 50 people at an event, you want to put it where there's a parking lot. Sometimes they forget that when they put us downtown.

    We used to have a little more seasoned person who ran the events. Now we have a younger person who is learning and it's going to take a while. Those aside, I have encouraged people at work to go to Events & Adventures too and check it out. I brought my son in 'cause he was divorced and he was really in need of getting out of the house and I told him what I was doing. We joined the same year and he ultimately married someone from the group.

    I heard an ad about Events and Adventures on the radio and was interested in the activities as I'm really active. I was excited and hopeful. However, I wasn't impressed. The demographic was of those who are not into activities. I was the oldest person and I got the impression that it was a lot of younger guys who were recently transplanted here because one of the questions they asked when I joined was how long have I lived in the Twin City. They got a lot of members that are just passing through or relocated and that's not my case. Then, guys my age are not interested because they want to meet women at least 10 to 15 years younger than me.

    When I signed up, I was assured that my demographic was the largest joining demographic. Well, I must be going to the wrong activity. I joined them at fall and I'm hoping that in the summer there's going to be more outdoor stuff that I like to do, such as canoeing. But they like go-karting, which a 30 some guy or girl would do. I have to pay for it, too, and I'm not going to waste my time doing that.

    Another thing is, a lot of the activities center around alcohol. I did New Year's Eve and didn't stay in a hotel because it was expected that everybody would get smashed. I left before midnight and drove home because one nice guy came in late and I wanted to talk to him. He was a new member but he obviously didn't want to talk to me because he was my age.

    Although we had a rollerblading activity at the new U.S. Bank Stadium that was organized by a woman I liked, who’s a little younger than me, and we had a cross-country skiing activity, a lot of the activities or events are focused over at the club at the west of Minneapolis. I'm sorry I don't have an extra $20 of gas and two hours to waste to drive to get to events that involve paying more money to drink. I'm not really turned on to that.

    Additionally, I did a riverboat cruise on the Mississippi river, which I paid a lot of money for, and the organizer didn't meet us where we were told we'd meet. And then, for some reason, a couple of us missed the group and they were already on the boat, at a couple of tables that we couldn't sit around. We weren't even part of that group. Then I got stuck talking to an older member who told me how he almost hung himself because of abuse of his ex-wife. And I thought, "Oh, this is uplifting." I'm not paying for the privilege of being someone's therapist.

    I'm sorry I signed on the dotted line. I feel that Events and Adventures misrepresented that there would be more men and women my age, or men interested in women my age. If I'm talking to a woman my age and in my situation, I'd say don't do it. If it's her daughter, she's 30 years old, and she likes to get-together with people and do things, yeah, go for it.

    Thanks for your vote!
