Events & Adventures Reviews

What got me interested in Events and Adventures is finding out different things I wouldn't normally do. I was nervous at first, but it changed since everybody was nice and pretty calm. I had attended no less than 50 events, and prefer the more outdoorsy ones like the hike and the social meetings like the ball type thing. I've made a few friends and it's been really fun. Met a pretty significant amount of people. E&A was shocking at first but it's kind of addicting.

I've been a member of Events & Adventures now for about going on six years. A friend at work called me up and said “I just heard this thing. You need to call.” So, I went online and found out that a friend referred me. I got interested because of the idea that it was activities-based, and not trying to match people up.

My friend heard a radio advertisement of Events and Adventures. It was like "Hey, it sounds like a really fun group. Mikey, you want to go and check it out?" and I was like "Alright, I'll check it out." So I went to the website, punched in my info and all of a sudden, ta-da! I got a phone call and I was like "Oh wow they're calling me." It's not just like signing up for something online. It's actually humans on the other end of it.

Biggest rip off ever!! These people are dishonest and will do anything to keep your money. They told me I could cancel, but were not honest with me about cancellation policies. Thus, I was roped into losing my money even after I discovered how lame the club was. It costs over a thousand dollars a year. However, just about all the activities cost additional money, and this is on top of monthly dues. Not one of the activities is that remarkable, as most consist of going out to dinner or playing board games/cards, etc. (wow!!!!). They'll tell you it's primarily young singles that comprise the group, but it's really mostly made up of divorced middle aged people. Just a big rip off and waste of time in general!!!

I heard about Events & Adventures from my single cousin who lives in Dallas, Texas. It truly is a group of people going out as friends and enjoying activities together. At first I'm a little nervous. I wasn’t really sure what to expect, and I’m trying to think what my first event was. I’m sure it had to do with eating. Everybody was just so nice and so friendly. I was with them in Ireland for eight days and I’m getting ready to go to Russia with them. I haven't been to Russia yet. The Ireland trip was unbelievable. It was spectacular. They have to go along to beat that one.

I believe that Events and Adventures was misrepresented. They made it sound like networking with people that were similar to what I was looking for. I was excited on the first meeting hopeful to meet some new people but nothing was as it was stated with the type of people. Some were friendly, some were acting desperate and clingy. I did 3 or 4 events in April. I'm just kind of giving up on it now. It's not worth my time but I'm going to try one tomorrow. A few of the group activities I've participated in were the 20 and 30's party, an ice breaker, hiking which was my favorite so far. But overall, it was interesting but it's a waste of money. I cannot recommend it.

I don't like going anywhere by myself, but with Events and Adventure I can go out and have somebody to get out of the house. I'm scared when we arrived at the event and It took me about five events before I was comfortable with it. I did go to Ocean City but that was still in Maryland so it's not really a good trip. I didn't go on an actual trips with E&A but I've gone to a lot of events. I did the ice breakers, the 20's and 30's events. I like the rock climbing and the spelunking in the cave, the caving events and I went skydiving. There's some ziplining events that I've gone to. They have a lot of good hikes there too and I love it.

Events and Adventures is how I met my girlfriend. We now live together. It's done everything I've asked it to do which was basically try to meet people or give a forum to meet people. I have no problem paying the dues and paying the event's cost. A lot of people complain about 'em but those are expected.

I got interested with Events and Adventures because they do a lot of stuff. I believe I’m the longest lasting member of the club. I was a little scared during the first event because I didn't know a lot of people there. But after I got there, I definitely found a lot of people that I like and I have a lot of friends now in the course of meeting through Events & Adventures.

Most of my friends were married or something so I don't have many people to hang out with so I joined. I was nervous on my first event, but they were friendly. I attend about four events per month. I'm doing the Warrior Dash on Saturday. I mostly participate in sport events like hiking, watch movies. I made a few friends. It's fun.

I joined Events & Adventures to meet new people. My first event was probably 4 years ago. I was a little bit nervous then. Since then, I've been to 40 or so events and I like anything groups-related such as volleyball, dinners and karaoke. I like golf and I wish they had more of it. I've met some friends and acquaintances, but not as much as I'd like to that I would be interested in dating or just hanging out.

I've made some new friends that I'll only see in E&A. Definitely no one there that I'll ever have a relationship with. It's like we know they're very misleading with the type of people and all the information. I'm also very disappointed with the fact that everything is in Virginia or mostly everything is in Virginia. We thought it was going to be DC based like it says their office is in DC but it's really in Virginia and just everything so far. So it's like spending a lot of money on gas and on time and everything to try to make up for the money that I had to pay for this and I would never recommend E&A to a friend in the future.

I've attended four of their events so far and none of them was my favorite. I've made a small group of friends, about four of us but it's been a pretty disappointing experience. I think everybody that I've talked to for the most part in my age group that I've associated with there has been disappointed with it. They were all sold a bill of goods that they haven't really produced. We were all told different things regarding pricing that weren't available. Packages that weren't available. I know that I've been deceived on a couple of occasions.

I've been in it Events and Adventures for about 3 years now so I've been in quite a few of their events. At the beginning, I usually did 2 events a week, if not 3. I've been to volleyball, dodgeball, skydiving, mingles at various restaurants, bowling, mini golf, party. It's definitely been worth it as a transplant to be able to come in and meet a whole bunch of people, many of which are still my friends today. I was a transplant to the cities and I really wanted to get out and meet new people and do new things. I was excited to be out and about and doing some things with other people. So that's always good.

I was brand new to the area and didn't really know anybody at all. So I figured Event and Adventures would be a way to meet a group to go out and do things. I was in the military before so I was used to walking in a new crowd so it wasn't too bad going to my first event. I was more curious maybe and it was fun the first time. On average I go to about two events a month. My favorite is the camping trips, like the weekend trips locally. I always liked the outdoors and that worked out for me. I've been to some house parties and a couple of country dancing nights. I like the way it does kind of scream for people. It has accomplished everything I was looking for. My biggest complaint is that it's a little bit overpriced for the specific service especially because you have to pay for some of the events on top of the membership.

I was new to the area and looking for a way to try and meet new people and have fun, because I didn't really know anyone. I heard about Events & Adventures on the radio. I was excited and nervous before arriving to my first event but everyone was really nice and laid back and they made me feel welcome. I've been with them for almost 3 months now. I've been to a few of the volleyball stuff, kickball and karaokes. I really like the game nights on Saturdays, after the New Member Meeting dance and stuff. I've made a lot of friends and they made me a host just last month. It's the best thing I did after moving to a new city.

Events & Adventures seemed appealing to singles and they talked about offering a variety of activities that you could do and meet people with similar interests. I had heard of them through a radio advertisement on KFOG out of San Francisco. I was a little bit apprehensive to commitment of money upfront. But I'm fairly outgoing so I was pretty excited about going to my first event. There was a sense that it was the beginning of a new adventure. It's been a year and I average going to at least 1 or 2 things every week. I like the sightseeing walks. You could basically walk and talk with people such as walk around Lake Merritt in Oakland. And then I'm taking a painting class which would be my second one. I found it very rewarding. I also like the after work mingles and there's generally one a week because you have a chance to meet and talk with other people. It's a great venue to meet new people, make new friends and connect with other people.

What got me into Events and Adventures is I like the idea of having somewhere to be with people who had similar interest. I was extremely nervous during my first event. It was the big New Year's party. It was a bit overwhelming but it was fun. I went to about 10 events and my favorite one is the archery event. I am planning to join volleyball at Green Lake. One of the group activities I participated in was at Games Works where basically you go to any arcade type of area and you play for free all night which was pretty cool. I did a few of the boat cruises and that's fun but I don't drink. A lot of the other people drink and it's kind of amusing to watch them. Overall, E&A is fun, exhilarating and worthwhile but it's pretty pricey.

I've participated in several group activities hosted by Events and Adventures. We did what was supposed to be sumo wrestling but it was jousting and board games, and I went to the wildlife world park and did the zip lining. It was fun. I did the Aloha festival, went to a concert at the park. It was great. I have several planned for this month. I have absolutely made new friends and have recommended Events and Adventures to others.

It was the variety of activities that interested me the most. I felt better after the first event with E&A but I was still unsure about what in the world I was doing. Now I've been to some 40 events. One was the Labor Day camp out and that stuck in my mind because it was an opportunity to see people multiple days in a row and interact with people at breakfast and somebody else at lunch and throughout the day. Another one is the one where I decided that this was going to be okay and that was at a volleyball event. These were the types of people I want to hang out with where we can get together and play some volleyball and go out afterwards and have a drink or a hamburger. It's what I want my life to be. I've met tons of friends, male and female. Events and Adventures changed my life.

I'm recently divorced and my friend who's married said she heard about Events and Adventures and that I have to check it out. It's the best thing I ever have done for many years. I've been to 20 or 30 events. The whale watching was one I did recently, and it's one of those things I've always wanted to do and never did. I'm so glad I signed up for it. It was a great event. A lot of people were there. We got to see the whales and we hung out afterwards. Every event I go to has been very nice. There was a mystery dinner event where 5 or 6 of us played a role like in a play. That was a lot of fun. I was the corrupt mayor of Chicago for about an hour. We all dressed our parts and we had a great time. I've made tons of friends, men and women, and have gone out with females outside of E&A.

What interested me the most in the Events and Adventures club is the different activities that they offer all the time that I don't have to look for. There's always stuff going on and I'm always up for new challenges. I've participated in various activities including volleyball, whirlyball, soccer, rock climbing and dinners. I'm also a host so I host a lot of the events as well.

I'm having a blast with Events and Adventures! I had been hearing them advertising on the radio for a while and since I was recently single, I decided to see what was going on with it. I joined about a month ago. I just went to my twelfth or thirteenth one last night. It's a lot of fun. I have nothing but good things to say about them. It's probably one of the best decisions I've made in my life. The first event I went to was the New Member Icebreaker. From there, we had games night which was right afterwards. And I started meeting a bunch of really cool people. I've made a lot of new friends. I'd recommend this to anybody. I already have people that said that when they get the money, they're going to join.

I heard my boss speaking with another co-worker, and he mentioned Events and Adventures. I ended up checking it out instead of that co-worker. I like meeting new people. I'm a very social person so I was interested in getting out and meeting new people and the potential to meet a guy. My very first event was actually a private karaoke event. It took me two months to go to my very first event because I was so nervous and I couldn't make it to any of the ice breakers that month. And then I was just, "Oh, I'll just do it." I ended up going and it was lots of fun and where I met a girl that has been like my best friend ever since. I met so many other friends as well. I haven't found a significant other yet. I've made tons of friends so I've made lots of significant people anyhow. In fact, we just do things on our own as well outside of the club and with those who are no longer members. We're friends outside of the club. It was good.

The first time I had ever heard about Events and Adventures was through my friends. They were the ones that heard it on the radio stations and they thought that it would be something good for me to try. I didn't like how it wasn't diverse. It was actually one population. When I was being interviewed by the employee there, they were very clear about the age groups. It was presented to be my age range which is late twenties or early thirties and I felt it was more like late forties or fifties. Most of the events that I went to were older. But I've been to trampoline dodge ball and a sleepover. That was pretty cool and fun. I've signed up for trampoline dodge ball a few times after the first one. I've met a pretty cool friend.

I had heard about Events and Adventures on the 99.5 radio. I was interested in meeting more singles in the area and the fun activities they had. I'm adventurous and an adrenaline junkie, very outgoing, very upbeat and love to meet new people. I had just gotten out of a relationship and I knew if I didn't do something like this, I would just dive everything into work and I'd work all the time.

I just had the very unpleasant experience of being 'interviewed' for membership in this quasi social single organization. I have been single for 7 months and am 68 years old. I have an active social life, but a friend suggested I look into this group. I was brutally subjected to a fast talking, rude and arrogant witch, who frantically and fanatically tried to strong arm me into a membership beginning at $2250 for one year and upwards of $3500 for three years. I am not that desperate or stupid to pay some organization a fee to arrange a party of other fools, who then pay an additional fee for the event. This is a con straight away. Avoid them at all costs.

Events & Adventures sounded like there were a lot of fun things to do and I didn't know many people to do those kinds of things with, so I figured it would be good that I get it. Once you sign up, they encourage you to sign up for an event. That time I signed up for some movie, so showed up at the movie and I was a little nervous, because meeting new people can always be a little nerve-wracking... Turns out they had men there that were acting like five-year-olds that were nothing like the ones you'd see on the commercial. It was a bait and switch thing, in my eyes, so that was a little disappointing. However, since joining E&A, I've been on about ten trips, including skiing, and met some really wonderful people while attending events and some of the events were things that I never would have done otherwise without the club.

Joining Events and Adventures was a good experience. I've met really nice and good people. Everybody was really friendly. I've made a lot of new friends and I had fun going to the events. I'm probably averaging almost four or five events per week. I've participated in a lot of group events, from volleyball to dodgeball, golf, dancing lessons, card night, baseball night to karaoke night. It's really fun and exciting.

I've gone to several Events and Adventures activities such as the mystery dinner to pottery painting, volleyball and a couple of those evening drinks where you meet at a fancy place and have drinks and meet and mingle. I've made new friends and a significant other. I've already recommended it to friends.

FALSE ADVERTISING AT ITS FINEST! DON'T JOIN! I joined Events and Adventures and am really sorry I did. The demographics of the group are in the 40s and 50s and being 32 it's not what I'm looking for. After one event I was over it. It was not for me and thought these people will give me my money back since I'm not a satisfied customer. I was wrong. I spoke to Robert ** in their Seattle office and told him of my years of social anxiety and he said if I got doctor's notes it would help me get my money back. After going through medical records and getting notes they told me that since it's a preexisting condition they couldn't help me out. I didn't realize that preexisting conditions mattered to these people. It doesn't matter to insurance companies but somehow it does to them. Obama will need to write a clause or amendment stating E&A is included in eliminating preexisting conditions in their paperwork. Join MeetUps or other programs, folks. This is not the place to meet people.

One of my girlfriends told me about Events and Adventures because a friend of hers had joined and talked about the different things that they did. The first event I chose was an overnight at the Oakland Zoo. I didn't know anybody and I drove by myself. That in and of itself was pretty adventurous of me. I was a little nervous about it. I'm over fifty and there were a couple of women in my age group that were already there. I'm still friends with them to this day. It was great. They were very welcoming and I had a nice time. I've been with the group for over three years and I've done a lot of events. I don't do too many events during the week not like the younger ones do so most of my events are weekend stuff, unless the event is relatively close. I also don't do a lot of the drinking events - it's just like pub calls and things like that.

I joined last August Events and Adventures. I just have been divorced for a little while so I decided to go ahead and check them out. I went down for an interview and they told me about the options and I decided which duration. From then on, I could see the calendar and I could just choose what events I wanted and then sign up for them online. I haven't gone on any trips yet but I do several events a month probably about 1 a week, on average. I have enjoyed in general most of the events that I've gone to. Sometimes the music isn't to my taste or it was a little different than I anticipated but in general, mostly I've enjoyed the events I've been to. I think they offer a wide variety of choices, and that's nice.

I had heard about Events & Adventures on US 99 radio station. I wanted to have a social calendar. And I liked that it wasn't a dating process as I told Christine when she was interviewing me. I didn't want to feel like a cow put in a corral to see if we're going to mate or not. Going to my first event was like a Disney story. I didn't plan it. I wasn't looking for it. I just didn't want to do the same old thing on New Year's Eve and my plans got ruined by weather so I decided to go to their event.

Events and Adventures has been great except that I got double charged for my premium or bills this month. I had just moved here from out of state and I didn't really know anybody other than my niece. So I thought it would be a good way to meet some people and make new friends. I was a little anxious going to my first event but once I got there, it was awesome. Everyone was really nice. I've been to a lot of events, probably 15 a month at least. Some of the funnest was the indoor rock climbing. The dance events and volleyball have been fun too. We do that once a week. I like going to sporting events a lot. I've made and have a lot of friends now. I enjoy it.

I've had good experience so far with Events and Adventures and I'm glad I joined. One of my co-workers was a former member and he had mentioned that he met his wife there. So I thought I'd check it out. It was an opportunity for single people to get out, meet other single people, make friends, have a good time and try new things. I've been a member for about a month and a half and attended about six or so events. I've been to a couple of movie sneak previews, on a St. Patrick's Day boat party, a game works night and a bike ride. I made a couple of good new friends. I enrolled for three years so I'm just taking it slow and letting it happen around me.

A friend of mine told me about Events and Adventures. Upon joining the club, I was interested mostly about the variety of events, having things to do, and since then have attended several events. The last one was a game night and it was fun. We had board games, a joust, and it was a nice social event. I'm making friends and I've only been a member for about three weeks!

I’m interested in dating but I'm not happy with doing it online. I heard about Events and Adventures on the radio. I felt skeptical going to the event. I was a little concerned about the group. I didn't know what it would be like and if I would like it. But now I've actually done a lot of events like glass blowing, Whirlyball, and apple picking. I've been to some like the game nights and the locked in the room with a zombie - that was a lot of fun.

What interested me most in Events and Adventures is just being able to meet people outside of my own industry. I work in the real estate industry and I do a lot networking but you're always kinda at work even though you're not at work. When arriving at my first event, I was nervous since it's not what I normally do. But by the end of it I was feeling a little bit better. I had already started meeting a couple of people.

I recently moved back to the bay area and wanted to meet people that had the same interests as I do so I signed up at Events and Adventures. Before arriving at my first event, I was nervous and a little scared. It was something new and different so it was fear of the unknown. Once I met the host for the event and some of the other members and we got to socialize, I had a good time. It was a pub crawl in downtown Campbell and a lot of fun. I thought was a good first event since it was at bars although I don't drink a lot. I had a cocktail at the beginning of the evening. It was a good ice-breaker to meet people and talk to them, since it was a more relaxed, social setting. I've also been to some of the dinners and a couple of the pub crawls. I also went to the New Year's Eve party which was a blast and I've made friends.

I wanted to be able to go out and try new things so I signed up with Events and Adventures. Once I got signed in, I went to the website and looked at the calendar and got an event to go along for the week and it was easy and was not hard to sign up. I've been to seven events. One of them was a gathering. They had a sumo wrestling and jousting and pretty much playing board games and there were about 25 people mainly getting to know each other, talking. After that we decided to go to a restaurant and go eat as a group and it was fun and I've made new friends.

I was a little nervous going to my first Events and Adventures activity. At the end of it, I felt a little more comfortable. The more events I go to, the more comfortable I feel. I've been to some forty events and have made some friends. I went on a booze cruise for St. Patty's day and it was fun.

What drawn me to Events and Adventures is the interest of going out and doing different things with the club. When signing up I had three phone calls from two different people and they made me come into their office for an interview. They explained everything they did, drops the price and see if you're interested. I was like, "sure why not?" But the most unfortunate part is that you're locked in to your contract after one event. You don't even get a trial for one event to see how it is.

I had heard about Events and Adventures through radio ads. I was anxious going to my first event but I was ready to meet new people. Since then, I've been to about three or four events and have made friends.

I learned about Events and Adventures on the internet. What interested me the most was getting out and going on an adventure. I felt nervous before arriving at the event. It soon changed in a happy way. It was good. I did dancing, so it was fun. I've been in a lot of trips. I've made lots of friends, ones that I can hang out forever. They're really good people, and I really enjoy it. I found my experience with Events and Adventures eventful and enlightening. It’s fun to meet different people from different backgrounds and share your experiences.

I heard about Events & Adventures in the Houston Press newspaper. I was interested in the adventures, going from different countries like Vietnam, Africa, Canadian, Germany and France. Also their events are very good. I've recently been to the volleyball event at Crossbars in Houston. I also went on the bike ride as well as the dynamo soccer game on the first of March. It's a very good club to belong to. I've met a few new friends. It's pretty well straightforward and I'd recommend it to somebody that is trying to build their social life a little bit.

I am single and I did a google search for a singles group online and Events and Adventures came up. I'm always wary when something comes up that I don't know about in whatever way because there are so many scams going on. They ask for your phone number or name and somebody called me from the Seattle office where their headquarters are. They set up an interview for me to go into the San Francisco location, and that was January of 2010. I've been a member ever since then. I was nervous going to my first event because I still didn't know what I was getting into and I was wondering if it was going to be worth it. My impression of most singles group is they're a bunch of old people so it was a real relief when I went to my first event to see people around my age with some younger and others older.

Overall, Events & Adventures has great events. I had heard of them on the radio. I enjoyed the zip lining, dancing and Bollywood activities. I’ve already told people about Events & Adventures and that it had really fun events.

I joined Events & Adventures in November. I had heard about it on the radio back in February, but I wasn't old enough to join then. I was a couch potato. I would go to school or work and come home, and that was basically it! So I wanted to get my lazy butt off the couch and try some new things and meet some new people. It has been really great for that. When I was in my interview and I got signed up, my sales rep helped me sign up for my first event right there and showed me how to and walked me through it, and it was really easy. I went to an event three days after I signed up. I'm generally shy in big groups so I was a little nervous about meeting new people and coming out of my shell a little bit. Everybody there made it really, really easy and it was a lot of fun. Everybody was very welcoming.

I'm new here in Minnesota, so I practically know nobody. It was a great choice for me to go over to Events and Adventures and meet some new people. Going to my first event, I felt nervous as normally anybody else would. But once I got there, I got to see all the warmth of everybody and they were very welcoming. Ever since I've been to 10 or more activities. Most of my activities have been hiking, the comedy stuff and ice skating. The activities are very fun and easy to go to and the people are great. I've met a bunch of people and should be able to call a few a friend.

I just moved here a while ago and I signed up with Events & Adventures to meet new people and find more friends. I went online and looked at the calendar and pushed the sign up. I was excited going to the first event. Eventually, it became easier to go to the events and I've been to more than 30. We had a dinner dance on New Year’s Eve that was fun. There was a Halloween party and we went into some haunted houses. I've made new friends. Events and Adventure is fun and a good time.

What got me interested in Events & Adventures was the idea that I could do some activities and just meet people. Mainly, it was activities that I couldn't do on my own or I didn't want to do on my own. On my first event I was trying to see what's going on with E&A. I try to do four events a month or else it's not worth the cost of the membership.

Events and Adventures has been good. I'm actually a host. I've been there for about a year and it’s been fun. I first heard about it on an ad on the radio. The thing that got me interested is just the convenience not having to plan things. It’s pretty easy. You go online so it’s fairly straightforward. The first event I attended I felt a little nervous. I was like, “Oh, okay. I’m doing something cool.” Everybody was very nice. I've attended around 25 trips and the one where we did the trapeze class is my favorite. We also did a rope obstacle course which was really fun and after hours at the Science Museum here in San Francisco. I've made some good friends. The experience has been good and it was worth it. It’s just a nice way to get out and do different things without having to do the logistics.

I've been having lots of fun with Events & Adventures. They do stuff every single day. I felt a little bit nervous upon arriving at my very first event but excited at the same time. One of the activities I did was going to a hike that was super fun, exciting and great. Another group activity was when I went to visit my parents down in Phoenix, I went to an Events & Adventures that was a piano bar. It was really fun. I've made new friends. In fact, I have an upcoming trip planned where I signed up for Vegas. It's a really cool and easy way to meet other people.

I have been to a couple of events that I did have a good time at but the fact that they can't seem to get their accounting together is the worst. I was charged twice to go at a hang gliding event that the person in charge of left the group at. I ended up calling for a week before someone finally called to the main office to get it corrected. Then it took two weeks to get a refund. When I signed up, I signed a contract to have them deduct the funds from my account every month but today I get a call from another company saying they didn't get their money and they'd been hired to get the money from me. First, how is it possible that you didn't deduct money from me but now are sending bill collectors after me? Second, now I need to give my info to a third party to take money from me after I already signed a contract. I don't think so. Stay away from this company. It can't get its money handling right.

What I like about Events and Adventures is that you get the opportunity to try new things that you wouldn't normally get to try on your own. Signing up was easy and can be done on their website. I have attended lots of events and been on many trips. We went snowshoeing this past winter and all these things that you always wanted to do but never had anyone to do it with. The New Year's party was good. Our favorite is the games night which happens once a month. It's just plain board games played in a pub. It's like where most people go to. It's been a good experience for me and I've made new friends. Events and Adventures made it about getting out and doing things as opposed to making it primarily about dating.

I first heard about Events and Adventures on the radio and got interested in joining because of the events they organize. I've been in it for a year and go to 3-4 events a week at least. It's really great. We did a hike on Sunday and I'm really outgoing so I like to hike and then last night we played ultimate frisbee and I made 5 interceptions on the Frisbee field. It's fun! I do a lot of sports so I've found a place where I actually fit in.

Events & Adventures has been beneficial for me in terms of building life-long friendships.

I needed another social outlet as most of my friends have been getting married and with kids so I joined Events and Adventures. In the beginning, I picked a smaller event, like a food event. I know my comfort zone so I figured that would be a good way to warm up. I've been to many events but right now I'm really busy at school - I'm a teacher. And it depends on the month. Some months have better things than other things.

I've had more than 30 to 50 events or trips with Events and Adventures. I like all of the activities and they all have different flavors to them. First, the Halloween Party, there was a hoedown for Valentine’s Day and they were great. The hoedown was unusual and fun crowd. And it was a good activity with kind of a variety of elements to it. I've dated within the group and had one that was actually starting to get pretty serious. Nothing is perfect but I've just been very happy overall. It was exactly what I needed at the right time.

I heard about Events and Adventures through a radio commercial while I was driving my car. I've heard that commercial several times so eventually I was like, "Well, why not give it a shot?" Before arriving to my first event I really hoped this was worth it. I was a little nervous because I didn't know what to expect and I want to make sure to give a good impression. After I got there they helped me feel at ease and got to know each other right after that.

I was looking for an activities club and I stumbled upon Events & Adventures. I went on their website and signed up for an event. I picked one of the first events that I was interested in and it was a pretty easy process to sign up. I was curious to see how it would go and there was a little bit of nervousness because I didn't know anybody. But I've been a member since May 2008 and I have been hosting events for them since April 09.

I was interested to join Events and Adventures to make new friends with single people. I was really nervous signing up because I didn't know what to expect because obviously, I don't know anybody. When I got there, I'm not used to seeing a lot of people so I got kind of overwhelmed when there was like 30 people that showed up. But it changed very quickly once people started talking to me and I started talking to them, then I felt very comfortable. I got in like 10 minutes and we were like all talking to each other and making new friends already. One of my favorite events is the paintball at night where we actually rented out a paintball area. We went to a bunch of different arenas. We're playing paintball for like three hours or so and we keep changing teams and shooting each other with paint and talking.

What I liked most about Events & Adventures is the interaction with other individuals in the same situation as I am. I was excited with my first event. My very first event was a movie, so there wasn't a lot of interaction. We had an after event. We went to the bar, had a drink, sat and chatted. Usually, a much smaller crowd than going to a movie. But my second event was miniature golf, and that was a lot of fun because there was a lot of interaction. With E&A I gained both new friends and found a significant other. E&A is like the land of misfit toys but everybody who's there wants to be there. But overall, it's fun to meet and get to do a lot of different things that you don't normally get to do.

I've heard about Events and Adventures on the radio several times. And then an actual acquaintance of mine did it and that’s how she met her husband. I went online, I filled out some form and then somebody from somewhere else called me and I talked to them a couple of times. Then I went into the office here in Phoenix, I signed up for an event, and I had an interview. I have attended about 20 to 30 events and my favorites are the mixers that they do with other singles groups. I’m going to go on the Vegas trip in June. I'm looking forward to that.

I was soooo nervous when I went to join this group but after joining this was the best thing I could ever have done. I've meet soooo many good friends that I can see regularly and on top of that I had no idea that there was sooo much cool stuff to do in the DFW area. I would always recommend this group to my friends outside of the group.

Events and Adventures is fantastic. It’s definitely worth my money and I’d definitely do it over again. I heard about it on the radio and I was interested in the activities and meeting new people not in the dating setting. I went online, picked what I liked and got signed up. I was super nervous at first. I was afraid I was going to walk in and not be able to find them and just be wandering around but I've had nothing but great experiences with the group. I've been to some 200 events. I regularly go to volleyball on Wednesdays and absolutely love it - I never got the opportunity to play in high school. I actually joined a couple of leagues with some friends I had made in the club because we enjoyed volleyball so much. I've met a bunch of the best girlfriends I've ever had and I’m actually living with my boyfriend who I met in the club. We've been together for about a year-and-a-month, going on two. I like the endless unique activities we get to do like dog sledding to skydiving to just movie nights. You can’t find that kind of variety in other places. I try and bring coworkers all the time and any new friends that I meet outside of the club.

I must say I am dissatisfied with the experience during my appointment. They made it such a big deal about my nickname not matching my driver license. They advised to me that it raised red flags because I had a nickname, then when she escorted me out, she slammed the door behind me and locked it. I am extremely disappointed with the lack of professionalism on behalf of their staff. I feel that I have done nothing wrong. I came in with good intentions, I wasn't untruthful about my name that's not the case. I strongly advise against joining this biased singles club, they make you pay anyways. I recommend trying Meetup.com where I heard it's more better reviews.

I've now been an active member with this club for 1 year and it has been a truly great experience. Prior to joining, I had been recently divorced after a long marriage, so I was struggling to make new friends and have opportunities to date. Events & Adventures has provided me with venues to meet friends, attend activities I never would have tried alone, and get to know people in comfortable settings with no pressure. This is the absolute best way be single! I would recommend this club to anyone. Even my married friends are jealous of how much fun I'm having!

My experience with Events and Adventures has been good. It’s an awesome place to be. I’ll recommend it to a friend.

I've been involved with events and adventures for three years now. In that time, I have had the pleasure of meeting so many wonderful people who I can now call friends. Many of which I may not have met. This organization brings such a variety of people together to experience life together. I've been able to do so many things I otherwise would not have done. Many of the events bring me back to my childhood and reintroduce me to things I had forgotten as an adult. From my very first event to now, I can honestly say I have had the time of my life. I have extended my membership and can't wait to see what the future brings me. If it is anything like the past 3 years, it will be amazing.

I like the Events & Adventures. There's always something going on and that's why I stick around. It's been a great ride so far.

I first heard of Events & Adventures through the local radio station and I've been to about 30 events. The events have all been really good for me. It has been nice to get out, to enjoy events with other people, enjoy some common interests, and I look forward to more in the coming months and when it starts to get warmer out in the summertime. Everybody has been really friendly and really welcoming.

I would recommend Events & Adventures. It has been awesome but they could organize things better.

Events & Adventures has provided me the outlet and opportunity that is exactly what I was looking for. I’m single divorced so it got me out of the house and doing interesting things with interesting, like-minded people. I pretty much knew what I was getting into as I had done a fair amount of research on the Internet. I've been a member for about 16 months now and I do 10 to 20 events a month.

There are so many events that you would really like to attend that there is not enough time to enjoy them all. From activities like hiking and snowboarding to hanging out over a board game, there are so many things to do. People are working professionals that also like to party. I have tried dating sites, lunch/dinner setups, and more. It is awesome to find a place to be yourself and pressured to be someone that the other person wants you to be. I was one of the biggest introvert that you could find and now excited to see what else will be on the calendar. "Drown your sorrows in some fun with E&A. It will lift you up and bring you confidence."

I joined to meet new people and explore the many places Houston has to offer. I have accomplished this and much more. I would recommend Events & Adventures to any single person over 21!

I was a little nervous when I signed up for my first Events and Adventures trip but it was fine. Since I didn't know anybody, I didn't know who I was looking for. But the host answered her phone and found me and it was fine and I've been to some 6 to 10 events. Everything I've been to, people have been nice and easy to talk to. The host always does a good job with what I call the name game where they walk you around and introduce you to everybody, and they almost remember everybody’s names spot on, which I find to be very impressive in a group of 20 or 30 people. I've been to a variety of different things; anywhere from like volunteering to the bar scene and there are different people at different stuff, but then there were a group of a dozen or two that you see more frequently. It's been awesome actually, a fun way to get out and enjoy yourself while meeting new people.

I was looking at volunteer stuff and just different ways to do stuff or meet people. In one of those random search engines, I found Events & Adventures online. The thing that got me interested was just meeting people because my best friend was moving, and I didn't really know anybody in Chicago. The process when I signed up for the first event is you go in and get interviewed. Before arriving at that first event I was very nervous, but that changed soon after. April’s wonderful and the first couple of people I met there were just really friendly and easy to talk to. After that I’ve been to tons, about five a month for a year.

Events & Adventures seemed appealing because I'm from out of town. I moved around a lot. I don't have a family. I'm at an age where a lot of people who are older, they're either married or in relationships and it's hard to hang out with people your age. They told it was a group of adults; young, single adults were not all young and we do different things in the Bay Area. That was appealing to me because I haven't seen the Bay Area. I haven't had time. I don't really want to do those things on my own, I like to do it with people.

When I moved to Seattle in 2005, I figured that I'd be able to make friends the way I always had: by starting school or a training program with a bunch of other people. Instant friends, right? Except this time, I moved here by myself. All my friends and family were at least 3,000 miles away, and all of my coworkers were married with small kids. My boss mentioned some activities club she had heard about on the radio, and with a little help from the interwebs, I found Events and Adventures. I sent in an email, got a call back, and scheduled my interview.

I've been a member of E&A for over 4 years. I liked it so much, I volunteered as a member-host for over 2 years of that membership. I've talked to lots of members, both satisfied and dissatisfied. Here are some of my experiences:

As a member of Events and Adventures I am very pleased that I made the decision to join. My goal in joining the group was to widen my social circle and just have fun with a group experiencing a wide variety of activities, which is exactly what I found. I've made friends there who will always be part of my life. Many of the activities I've participated in are ones I would have probably never tried on my own, such as white water rafting, kayaking, hiking, etc. A great time was had attending all of the activities - I can't think of one bad experience - and what makes it great are the people you meet. For me personally it was a life changer and to anyone who wishes to get out of the house and out of the daily grind of home to work to home again, making friends and having great experiences along the way, I would heartily recommend giving it a try. I've never regretted joining, and in fact think it was one of my best decisions.

I've enjoyed my experience with Events & Adventures. It has given me opportunities to do some activities I've never heard of and go on trips I wouldn’t have otherwise known about.

I have the pleasure of knowing some amazing people who I can call friends now, thanks to E&A. Every month we have new members continuing to come in, which is awesome, and the diversity of the calendar from month to month is a plus. I am privileged to say I am part of such an awesome club. Keep up the good work!

Every day with E&A offers a chance to meet new people and make new friends. The camping and tubing weekend trips are a blast and the international trips are an amazing experience. I have been to Australia/New Zealand & hiked Machu Picchu last year with single people from across the country because of E&A. I feel at home with this group and all the members so far have been fun and adventurous.

I heard a lot of radio advertisements about Events & Adventures before I actually contacted them. I just called their number directly and made an appointment to go in and meet with somebody in the office. They wouldn't talk about the price over the phone. So you had to wait till you go into the office to determine what the membership fee is and how that works; whether it’s a monthly fee or a one-time fee. They won’t discuss that at all. And once I got in there, they let you know what the options were and that there were different lengths of time you could sign up for and so forth.

Events and Adventures is a really great thing!!! I have been in the club a couple of years and last year I met my now fiance. I would have never of met a great, amazing, sweet, wonderful man if it wasn't for Events and Adventures. What I like most about it is that, it is not a dating service. It is just a way for singles to meet and do fun stuff and if something is meant to be, then it will be. I am not sure why people who go to one event are so shut down. Maybe they don't know how to relax and go with it. Anyways, I recommend Events and Adventures to anyone who is single and is open minded and who likes to have fun!

I heard about Events and Adventures over the radio. I got interested because you make a lot of friends and that you go out and do different things every day of the week. Around that time I was thinking that I needed to find out more things to do in Chicago, so I made a call, signed up and just jumped in, head over heels. During my first event, an actual camping trip, I was a little nervous because it was something that I haven't done in a long time. It was three days and three nights with people I've never met before. Currently I have attended well over 50 events. I signed up May 12 last year. I have made a lot of friends - over 65 people whose names I still remember - and we all keep in contact and do things outside of E&A. And I have found at least one person that I'm comfortable with that's like a little spring fling.

I love this club! I have been a member for over three years and have made so many friends and had so many adventures. I now have so many friends my house can barely hold all of them for my birthday parties! It is so nice to have things planned for me beforehand so all I do is show up and meet people and have fun. Indoor skydiving, hot air ballooning, Seahawks' games, pub crawls, cooking events and so many other things have been a highlight for me but nothing compares to the Halloween and New Year's parties! Dancing all night long with all my new friends is so much fun! I HIGHLY recommend this club if you are ready to have fun and meet a huge network of friends. :-)

When I joined Events & Adventures four and a half years ago, I didn't know what I was getting myself into. In fact those were just about the exact words I said to myself as I walked out to my car after my initial meeting. I knew that I would start to get off the couch and doing things, but in no way did I expect to meet so many new people from as far away or with as many different backgrounds as I have. Nor did I expect the creativity of the event coordinators. I've found some gems of activities to do and done activities at locations that don't seem the fit (pillow fight on a trampoline, dodge ball court anyone?).

The people are so nice, the events are well-coordinated and there's no pressure to meet anybody. It's a really fun atmosphere to go and hang out with people that want to do similar activities. The best part is, I met my fiance from Events & Adventures!

I signed up with Events & Adventures to have a social life. I've been to over twenty events and had a good time. It's socially interesting and engaging.

Events & Adventures is good. It's a lot of fun. I've met a lot of people. And especially when you are new to the area, it's good to get out there and meet new people.

Since signing up for Events & Adventures a little over two years ago, I've attended hundreds of trips. I've been on white water rafting trips. I went to New York and to Key West. I've done bowling and King’s Night and volleyball. We've had bar events and dinners and had murder mysteries. I've gone to the gun range. Went to one of the museums and to the symphony a couple of times. I played Ultimate Frisbee and Frisbee Golf. We've also done boogie boarding and indoor surfing. I’m sure I’m leaving out a lot of things, but I've done just so many things with them. I like everything pretty well. What interested me about it was the opportunity to do things and meet some great people. I've made dozens and dozens of new friends. The experience was wonderful.

I stupidly signed up for E&A yesterday evening without looking up the company to get reviews. My friends thought it would be a good way to meet people of the opposite sex. Last night once I got home from my meeting with the representative Richard ** in Santa Clara, I got online and the first thing that comes up is about E&A scams. Granted, I was skeptical when Richard told me about the costs-- $1,995 if i paid upfront, and $2,195 with payments of $116 a month, plus the $30 monthly fees. So I put down a deposit of $100. It was high, but I figured I could manage it if it's such a good time like he portrayed. He was awesome at the sale. Charismatic, showed me how to salsa dance in our meeting (he's a dance instructor as well) and also highly into fashion and things that interest me (now realizing it was probably fake). He even invited me to participate with his upcoming fashion show.

After being subjected to their high pressure bait and switch tactics, I decided I didn't want to be associated with something so messed up. So I sent in my letter to the main office. Got a call a few days later wanting me to pay the rest of my contract (like $15,000). I decided I'm not going to do it. So the debit card they had on file was suddenly "stolen". So anyone is having this trouble, you may want to give this a try. I figured if they really wanted to sue me for the rest of what I owed, their legal fees would far surpass any judgement they would get from me. Will keep you all posted!

I have never in my life written a complaint about a place because I just don't give them my money and keep it moving. However after what happened to me at E&A I feel I should tell my story. Like most people I heard about Events and Adventures on the radio and figured I'd check it out. I was single and just looking to get out and be more social. So I looked up the web site and filled out the form. 3 days later I got a call from them. The lady was very nice and cordial on the phone and wanted to set up an interview so that I can get to know them a little better and vice versa. I said okay and we set up an appointment. So far I was liking this more and more.

This was an awful experience for me. I had my doubts about the company to begin with, but was told that I would be given a 6 month trial time before signing a year contract, but was completely misled. When I tried to cancel my membership after 3 months they said that I had signed up for a year contract with an added 6 months free on top of it, which is totally not what I had agreed to and confirmed my doubts. If I had any doubts to begin with why would I want to sign up for 18 months?! It's worse than the phone companies! They trick you into signing up for a year or two then when you want to cancel, they charge you the remaining amount in a block charge! I don't have the schedule to go to more than one or two events each month, and for $135/mo that's so not worth it.

Today after many emails requesting a refund from this company, I showed for a "new" member Game and greet and meet date. I arrived early, requested (again) for a refund. They had "new" people arriving to inquire about company. They asked me to "come" upstairs. I declined and stated I was fine and wanted a refund from their company. They escorted me outside to front of "club house" and then threaten me regarding leaving their clubhouse. I reminded them that I had been invited to "come" and see how great the company is and what a great time "people" have at their events. When I informed them, I would wait and attend the "new" member event, They called the police. I was sitting outside and not visiting or talking with anyone. The "manager" came outside several times to say she was going to tell the police, I had been harassing people, even though I had not done so.

Being single in NYC isn't easy and my cousin (from Florida) heard about E&A on the radio. While we were on the phone chatting, we googled it and found they had an office in NY. It sounded like fun and I called to inquire. They refused to give me information over the phone as far as cost or the type of people that joined, and pretty much told me that if I wanted to know, it was mandatory I had to go in to interview. Now, being a woman that has tried online dating and met every NY perv in a 10-mile area, I actually thought participating in these types of events would be safer and upscale (I'm still LMAO!!! )

I met with a representative myself and a girlfriend of mine decided to go and check it out together and see if we would like to join this organization together. We were interviewed by 2 separate representatives in 2 different rooms. We decided to go ahead and join and I was told I could put down a deposit and pay out the rest of membership by monthly payments. But 2 weeks after I joined and during that time I was able to attend an event, I ended up having to go back in for yet another unexpected breast surgery. The 5th surgery in last year. I seem to be unable to heal properly due to the repercussions from radiation following breast cancer.

I join as part of social networking for singles with the possibility to find a companion or partner. The membership was expensive and the services not good at all. When I went to financial hardship and physical sickness, I wanted to end my end my membership and explained that I had never used the services... They replied with little sympathy. I ended up giving them over $3,000 which felt to me as a donation... because their services are not worth it... even with discounts you have to pay on top the very expensive membership! HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE!!

My daughter went to Events and Adventures to discuss their program. They explained the program and said it would be perfect for her. They told her that she needed to sign a contract and provide the first payment. She called me and I asked to ask the lady if she could cancel it if it did not work out. She said yes. I gave her my credit card number for payment. After I got off the phone, the lady told my daughter that if she paid for 1 year, she could get the second year free. She said okay and they charged my card for 1-year membership.

I am also very upset and disappointed by this company. When I first moved to Florida in 2011, I was completely alone and had no friends. I was also working nights, which made it very hard to go out and find things to do. I heard about this club on the radio and got very excited. I was 26 at the time. The interview was fun and upbeat, and I couldn't wait to get started. I'd just gotten a new high-paying job, so I wasn't too worried about the price (they don't mention your monthly "dues" in the price!!!!). I signed up for a 3-year membership because it was the most "cost effective." Over $3,000!!! I've been to about 5 events and every time all the people were about twice my age!!! Also, I found it very clique-ish and had no one to talk to. Over two years later they are still charging me over $80/month and have threatened with collections once when I changed my card information.

Sales person talk young adults in committing to a contract. When service is poor, they talk them into staying on until they can't cancel (3days allowed). On August 05, 2013, my daughter entered into a contract with Events and Adventures. Originally they talked her into a month to month payment. She asked me, her mom, to provide a credit card. I asked her to ask them if she could cancel if she went to events and did not like them. They said yes. I agreed. After the call they told her that if she signed up for a year she could get a year free. So she thought that was a good idea. They presented the contract to her and then pointed out three places for her to sign. At the time of signing, Events and Adventures did not explain that she could only cancel if she had not attended an event and it had to be within 24 hours or 3 business days (liable for $400).

I signed up for membership after my interview...I think I got carried away by the lady who interviewed me and made it sound like such an exciting club. I was new to the city and wanted to make friends. After I went home, I logged onto their website and saw that most events were paid and were either in the suburbs or were not at a convenient time for me with my work schedule. So I sent them a registered letter within the stipulated time in my contract. I even received a confirmation letter from their office saying that they had received the letter and will forward to it to their head office. That was more than 2 months back in July. I'm still waiting for my refund and have sent several emails and also called up several times to talk to the lady who deals with the refunds. Every time, they give me some excuse about the delay and promise that I should get it back by the next week. I would not recommend anyone to join this club. Once you join it, it’s hard to get out of. Meetup groups are free and way better!

Everything Loren has said is true! I am a current member of E&A and regret it everyday! I can't wait till my contract is up. I moved here last year not knowing anyone so I thought I would see what this Events and Adventures was all about. I always hear advertisements on the radio so one day I thought... What the heck, why not? After paying all that money you have to pay for each event... rarely is anything free. Even some events that should be free are not. What is this money for? I have no idea! And the people there are NOT quality singles! It is true... the people in this club are "odd and creepy". Most are older too. I can see why they don't let you try an event for free. If I would have I'd have run for the hills! I really wish I'd done more research into this company before forking over 2 grand. I have not been to anything in almost a year! If you are looking to meet people, try meetup... way better!

Events and Adventures has called me several times to make an appt to come. I was always hesitant because I live 90 minutes (on a day without traffic) to their nearest office. I took a half day at work (lost $) to travel on a Saturday to the address given to me. I called their office 15 minutes prior my appt to let them know that I might be 5 minutes late. I didn't want to be inconsiderate. They replied, "Oh, that's totally fine because they are actually behind schedule anyway." Fact was that I was not late, but did not see the office once at destination. I called the number I was given and the woman who answered did not live local, so she told me to wait where I was and she'd have them call me.

I was treated in a terrible manner by Events and Adventures. I am providing this distressing critique of this cruel sales technique and disgraceful behavior. I was golden and treated humanely at the start of my appointment until I didn't plunk down money. Then I was spoken to like trash. How awful to be treated like trash when I never did anything to that awful representative or the Events and Adventures company. The representative additionally was racist making a comment about a previous meeting with a black man stating he "didn't fit". She and I are both with white skin. I suppose she assumed I shared her perspective. I did NOT. Was it because of his skin or because he saw right through her as the empty, superficial and manipulative person she behaved like.

I am a single mother of one and have found on-line dating to be difficult. I thought joining Events and Adventures would be good because you are attending events specifically designed for singles. I wish I would have read the reviews before I wasted my time and money to travel into Manhattan for my "interview." Don't go - save your money. The cheapest package was just about $1,800 per year, and that DID NOT include the events. Each event you attended you had to pay separate. I asked if I could even attend one event to see how I liked it and the woman told me no. She did however offer me a $400 discount if I gave her my credit card right then and there.

The only reason I gave this one star was because I had to click at least that to be able to submit my review. Otherwise it would receive zero stars. I first heard about this organization on the radio and decided to see what it was about. I called and left a message and they called me back within a few hours to schedule an interview. The person on the phone was very pleasant and explained why they have everyone come in for an interview, it's to screen people. I remember thinking that was great! Well, my "interview" was today, and needless to say it was not a pleasant experience.

I am so disappointed in what I've learned about this company and that KLTY Christian Radio Station in Dallas, TX is working with them! I wanted to volunteer for Mission Arlington and thought I may try the "Events and Adventures" to meet others like myself, single with values. I called and OMG! I got the runaround of the lifetime! Some woman from Seattle called me and asked me a million questions. I asked about the event - NO RESPONSE; I asked about fees - NO RESPONSE. Instead I was asked to be INTERVIEWED for their "private club". I've read the reviews and everything I read was the same craziness I was told on the phone - "I'm perfect for their club". That was certainly a RED FLAG when I asked a question and SHE ABSOLUTELY REFUSED to answer. What is there to hide? I was asking about volunteering for a faith-based organization event.

Total scam! The pricing is such **. I am glad I DID not sign up. All they want is your money. They present a high $ value - $3000 and are ready to knock it down by 50% because, "Apparently, you are perfect for this club". Ha! And the funny part is he just wouldn't let go of trying to sign me up.

Be very careful if you join this club. After 90 days there is no way out; even if you move and are not in the area, you still owe you fees. You must send a registered letter within 90 days. Even if you call them and regardless of what they tell you, you still owe. I feel totally ripped off. It’s not worth the money.

Like all the people on here, I myself had gone through a horrific breakup and was trying to figure out a new way to meet people. After hearing repeated advertisements on my local radio station, I finally went in for an "interview". The lady worked me up like a pro, went straight for my triggers and got me to an emotional puddle. So when she threw the membership at me, it almost felt like a lifeline. I had earned entrance and they were "here" for me. Well, not two days later, I realized that the events were not "free" and many of them are pay as you go or pay for your own meal. Folks - that isn't free. I work in marketing and that is what a boss of mine call "marketing license", frequently.

I was tricked into signing a contract. I was told that if I did not sign then and there that I would not be allowed to sign up. I wanted time to think about the contract. I typically take two or three days to decide, but I was not afforded this time because they told me that if I do not sign up that I would be banned from signing up ever. Thus, this was a faulty contract and I want to cancel my service. After I was forced into signing the contract, I went back in twice to cancel the contract and they would not let me. In addition, I have sent numerous letters, emails and faxes requesting to cancel my service.

I had signed up with this company, Events & Adventure, in which I also signed a contract. But I'm unable to attend any activities due to changes in my work schedule. I'm also paying $86.86 per month for something I have not used. I was told that the only way to stop this is for me is to die or get married. I'm paying all this money and not getting anything out of it. What can I do about this?

Don't ever get a lifetime membership. They tell you there are 3 ways out of the contract: 1. death, 2. marriage since it is a singles group, and 3. if you move to an area without a club. Evidently, you have to do all 3. When I found out that I was moving, I called them to inform them of my move. I was told it would be taken care of - months of calls and emails and no progress. Finally, a woman at the company told me I was wrong. Moving does not stop it, I still owed the money. When I refused, they sent it to a collection agency and ruined my credit report.

You misrepresented on many counts what I would be getting for my fiscal payment to you and are in breach of contract. I am requesting that you rescind my contract and refund my initiation payment.

I was recommended to this place by a friend who must not have known yet what a big scam this company is. But since I trust my friends, I went into my interview trusting this company also. I was told most of their events are free and that I would be paying $100 a month for a year membership. I thought this was pricy but considering I would get to do a lot of cool events for free maybe it would be worth it. I found out shortly later that the only events that are free are things like going to a bar and not getting anything. Most of the events are actually more expensive than if you went on your own. For example, going to an IMAX movie with them costs $20 while tickets at this particular theater are $13. They justify it by saying it comes with pizza but $7 per person worth of pizza? I don't think so.

I was very depressed after the death of my father and wanted to look into local activities to make me feel less miserable. My sadness and depression was used to con me into joining this group with promises of low cost local events. These events listed on their calendar are not local and are expensive. I wasted a lot of money that I can't afford. Avoid this group if you don't want to get screwed.

Events & Adventures - I joined and decided to cancel. I never signed off on their T&C specific for cancelling. Their T&C are stacked against a prospective member. How can one decide if their programs are worth the 1,800 minute program unless attended? Exactly is what they are counting on. There are so many dissatisfied people who have had a brief relationship with these liars, thieves, and cheats. They misrepresent from the initial meeting, promising they do background checks. All the agent cared about is if I had credit cards; once she realized I did, the false pretenses began. Do not go and waste your time, and there’s a good chance you lose your money. Do not sign up at all. I would do something more constructive with your money than give it to these rip-offs.

Same story as most, I was scammed into joining a fake group with crap events. When I called for help, they immediately transferred me to the corporate office and someone immediately got nasty with me looking for money. They stole my $500 deposit then claimed I had to pay out the membership. They sent it to collections, Keynote Consulting, and they are attempting to extort $5K out of me. I am livid and I will not stop until they release me and go out of business for scamming lonely single people. Who is coming with me? Let's all band together and get back our credit.

For those of you trying to get out of your contract with E&A, you must read the terms. There is a clause that explains what you must do to cancel your contract. Phone calls will not do it; emails will not do it; going to the Clubhouse will not do it. You must send a letter, Certified Mail/Return Receipt Requested, to the address of the club where you joined. Be specific that you wish to cancel your membership. You do not have to offer a reason.

I joined Events And Adventures over four years ago. I attended only one event, paying $50 a month. I was not impressed with the club. After I lost my job, they told me if I don't pay, they would turn me over to collections. I continued to pay and never attended. Last year, I finally put an automatic stop payment on my bank account. I changed my home phone after the harassing calls, even blocked my cellphone and blocked the emails. I just got my credit report and discovered they actually turned this account over to collections and that I owe $3145. They are impossible to work with. I will report them to BBB and the Attorney General. This slimy business needs to be stopped.

Events and Adventures Scam - I joined the scamming singles club 2 weeks ago. During my interview, the "member director" Jodi ** told me this business has a B rating with the Better Business Bureau. She went through her E&A song and dance, told me she’s giving me "a deal", and convinced me that what I’m signing for is the actual amount I’m paying. At my second event I attended, I started asking people what they pay. Everyone pays a different amount and the men end up paying less! One guy told me he knows men pay less because the club is mostly women and they want more men to join so they give them "better deals". This does not sit well with me. I went home and checked the Better Business website. This business is not accredited and they actually give them an "F" rating. I called E&A and we played phone tag for a few days, until some woman named Donna called me back.

I paid the $2,000 fee to join for three years but because of a failed business, I had to move back to Canada after two months. I also paid the monthly $30 service fee for three years, a total of $1,080. The contract stated I would lose the membership fee but since I am not receiving the monthly services, I demanded the monthly fees returned to me for 34 months, a total of $1,020. They flatly refused. In just two months and going to one event, I lost close to $3,000. I think I should get all of it back since I had to leave the country.

I moved to the Nashville area and came across the website. I was having an emotional day the day I went in and naively did not read the contract very well. I mentioned several times that once the cost was discussed with me, Paula kept persisting. I stupidly signed the contract and when I got home, I decided that it was the wrong thing to do. I literally called the next morning and Paula informed me that I was unable to cancel after signing. After about 15 minutes discussing this, she said to me "How are you going to make friends then? You are not going to meet any friends without this?" I told her it was none of her business how/if/where/when/how many friends I make. She said I needed to grow up and I ended up just ending the call.

Do not join this so-called club. This is a fraudulent membership. I think they make more money sending people's information to a credit collector than they do from the actual non-existent members that they talk about. They lied to me, said they needed my social for a background check. They did not discuss a cancellation policy with me. Now, only after going to one happy hour meeting, I owe them $3615. Please save yourself. Do not sign up. The members are not anything like the pictures or in the age range that they will tell you.

I went in to the Houston location a few months after moving in to town. I run a small business and work a lot. I thought the club would be a good opportunity for me to meet more young professionals like myself. I was interviewed by two representatives in the office. They asked all kinds of personal questions in an effort to have me believe I was actually being interviewed and not just distracted for a few moments before they would close me into signing up. The two women working were raving about how many of the girls would love to meet me and that it would be so much fun. After reading many terrible reviews, I can see that this must be a learned pitch the individuals responsible for signing up members are taught. I paid a $100 deposit for my papers to be processed. I attended one event at Pub Fiction in midtown Houston. Much to my surprise, the average age of all attendees was roughly 12 years older than myself (24 at the time). The members were nice people and I stayed to have a few conversations but left about an hour after arriving. I thought this might not be the case with all members since I was told there were several thousand in Houston.

I met with a membership director in the Nashville office where I naively did not read all the information being thrown at me. When I texted them later that day to inform the woman that I was not interested, I was informed that I was not allowed to cancel my membership. I was not aware I was even in a contract. The woman had informed me that what I was signing was an agreement for them to run a background check. Never once did she discuss with me their cancellation policy, though she did explain that if I got married, the money would be prorated. The next day when I threatened legal action, the manager actually called me a 31-year old adult illiterate that had no friends. People need to know to be aware of their manipulative sales tactics and that they do not allow cancellation, especially the later. Any sales agreement requires one to discuss the cancellation policy and they do not. They actually avoid this at all cost.

Don`t sign up, do not sign up, do not sign up! If you do, they won`t let you quit even though you are not going anymore. They will charge you until your contract will expire. They did not tell me and stupid me signed up for 3 years. Now, I have to pay for 2.5 more years. I won`t ever be able to cancel it. Save your time, and your money for something else! Trust me.

Events and Adventures promises that they do background checks to make sure people with criminal records are not members, which is a lie. Being in this economic situation, I asked about their return/refund policy. They said that they are willing to work with us to see if lowering payments is feasible and if not, they will be glad to see what they can do. Of course, I insisted on a worst case scenario. And yes, if that came to happen, they will do what is necessary to keep us satisfied.

I spoke with their office on 2/27/12 and informed them that I left a message on 2/26/12, less than 24 hours after signing up on 2/25/12, that I wished to cancel. I did not get a call back so I called again on 2/28/12 and was told that they would send the information to the accounting department and that they would be giving me a call. When no one called back, again, I called and got the email for customer support and sent an email to cancel on 2/28/12. Three days later, when no one still returned my call, I called and Holly at Events and Adventures replied that the person was on vacation and would be processing my request upon return. Never once during three calls canceling the membership did anyone from their staff inform me that it needed to be in writing and further that it needs to be sent certified mail as I learned from Troy’s call today. Today, 3/7/12, I received a call from the sales representative Troy, stating that my account would not be credited since I had not sent the cancellation in writing via certified mail. Their agreement makes no mention of requiring it via certified mail, FYI. It only offers to send it to their office or send via telegraph. I’m not sure who you think in this day and age would send a telegraph, however. I will reasonably assume that email should more than cover this aspect of communication to cancel per California law.

I became a member and met the terms of my contract. I fully paid for the contract and was told I would be a lifetime member. In July, I had requested to have my membership to be held due to school/work. I was not charged while I was on a hold status. Out of the blue, I am charged for December and January. I received my statement and attempt to access the website to find out. I was completely blocked from logging in. I emailed the main person I normally have contact with in January. I was referred to Susan **, Member Services Coordinator. She did not return my phone call in January. I sent another email to this fact and finally heard back from her.

I signed up for Events and Adventures approximately 5 months ago. It cost me $1,000 for a 6-month membership. I'm very disappointed in the events and the quality of the people. I dated one of the male members to only find out he has made his way through many of the female members. This man happens to be a "lifetime" member. There is also a lot of juvenile behavior (rumors, back stabbing, and meddling) and cliques. Also, they don't do any kind of background checks and/or screening of their members. I wouldn't recommend this organization to anyone. Save your money!

I was told there were qualifications to join the club. I was told each member went through a background check. I was signed up and paid without any checking at all. The more I read through the paperwork, the more fees it mentioned. Since it was already stretched at $1,500.00, more fees on the way and truly a scam, since i was not checked out. I have submitted my cancellation letter today. It was notarized, faxed and FedExed to the office. I called and they have received my fax but no return phone call. I have worked my whole life to have an excellent credit report! Please post if you have any advice.

I joined Events and Adventures in November paying $3,200 for a three year membership since I thought I would help my new decorating business and I was told I could write it off as a business expense. The financing fell through on my business and I had to move back to Canada. I advised Events and Adventures I was moving back and the contract says you can cancel if you move 100 miles away. I has taken two weeks for a reply about a refund. I was asked if I wanted them to hold the money in case I return and they would give me a membership for 5 years. I said definitely no and gave them 24 hours to reply. Times up. Looks like a law suit.

I joined E&A in Dec. 10, 2011 after hearing it on the radio and sounding like a good organization to attend. Rushed through the interview, the scam artist, shortened down the contract in a few simple riddles, not to point but giving an idea what it was about. I was told the payment I made that day was for the first month pay and interview fees, understood. Speaking about all the parties they throw and how exciting it was to be part of them is the biggest lie anyone can ever tell. After a week or two was the holidays and I had still not heard from them about anything, realizing that you have to pay for all the events on their websites. I thought, this wasn't what I have paid for. I still have yet to go to any of the events.

I was interested in joining Events and Adventures, so I set up an appointment and went in to check it out. The man I met with seemed nice at the time. He told me how great it was and basically suckered me into joining. While signing the contract he made sure to tell me that I had a three-day right to cancel for any reason and it wouldn't be a problem. After going home and really looking into the activities, I realized that this really wasn't for me.

On April 22, 2010, I signed a contract with Dawn Warren the member Director of Events and Adventures. I went home to look over the website and I realized it was to expensive for me. They had a monthly fee and a contract fee and each event had a fee. Nothing was for free as they advertised, so I called to cancel within 24hours and Dawn *** no longer worked there. After several attempts, Kim *** from corporate called me back and said I could not cancel, the contract was signed. She said she would give me until August to make payments and had me sign a revised contract. I did not want to do this but she said I had no choice. I signed a contract and if I did not pay, she would contact the credit agencies. I never went to one event and I tried to cancel within 24hours and now the credit agencies are calling me for the full amount of the contract. Can anyone help me in this situation?

I am looking to start a class action law suit against this organization. If any have been mistreated, misled, email me at ** with your name, a brief of what happened, and whether or not you have hard evidence, emails, returned letters, any documentation on the poor treatment they send out. You want your money back? I know I do. I am fired up they are getting $4,000 of my hard earned dollars. Anyway, I signed a contract for a service to pay a certain amount of money over a period of time.

I signed up on a Saturday over a 3 day Labor day weekend, went to my first outing on the very next Tuesday at a local comedy club I had visited on many occasions in the past. Our group met and our hostess Suzanne introduced herself, we were seated and the comedy show began except Suzanne would not shut up during the whole performance. She sat with her friend who did not have to pay the exorbitant rate I had and they ruined the whole evening. They stood up during the headliner's act, a clean-cut guy who was married and had a new baby who was telling jokes about being a new dad and the friend stood up and yelled, "Sign my boob!" and I am thinking, I paid $2000 to be a member of this club? I demanded my money back, but was refused. They lied about Suzanne E&A knowing her friend, duh, it was quite clear to everyone. Suzanne heckled each performer, constantly reminding the entire audience that our group was E&A, like a bunch of pathetic losers. I was so humiliated. I have been to many comedy clubs and personally know many comics and have never seen such behavior.

On January 16th, 2010 (a Saturday), I was talked into signing up at Events and Adventures and immediately afterward, I went back over my finances and discovered I would not be able to afford the membership. Being a responsible person on January 18th, 2010, I sent back all my membership information along with a letter explaining that I would like to cancel my membership.

I joined Events and Adventures about one year ago. After a high-pressure sales pitch, they asked what my income was. At the time, I had just gotten my first job out of graduate school and was making around $75,000. The salesperson convinced me that on my salary, the monthly dues of $180 would be completely affordable and totally worth it. It sounded like a fun organization and after years of low paying jobs it is something I could finally afford so I attended some events in the next couple of months. However, I lost my job a couple of months later. I hadn't been there long enough to collect unemployment insurance. I asked if I could discontinue my membership due to my change in financial situation. They wouldn't allow me but they lowered my payments to $50 a month and I have been paying that ever since. I have been looking forward to this month of October because it will have finally been a year since I signed the contract.

Joined Events and Adventures in the spring of 2009. I attended a few events and after a few weeks realized it was not for me. So I called and asked if I could cancel my membership and pay an early cancellation fee. They said no, that I was under contract to pay in full whether I continued to use the services or not and that I only had three days to cancel and those three days were up. I was also told on the interview that the only way I would not be able to attend the events and no longer be allowed to be a part of the club is if I were getting married.

I joined their club, and after attending a few events, felt as if I'd been misled by what they offer. I contacted the club to discuss canceling my membership, and I was handed off to three separate people. Each person told me how great the club was and that I needed to give it more time as it is growing every day. I was told that someone would contact me to set up some events even though this is not what I wanted.

I joined after a "thorough" background search which never occurred, which I thought I might need as leverage to get out of this contract if need be. After a conversation with a "member" sales associate, I was assured that this club was for me because I was new to the area and it would award me & my daughter plenty of things to do.
