Please Note: clubs & groups such as The Crucible, Black Rose, Baltimore Playhouse, & B.E.S.S all keep VERY busy schedules with evolving special interest groups. So please see respective sites for updates. 

 

Also, the region maintains an explosion of smaller munches (many averaging only 12 or less in attendance). More prominent meet-ups are listed, but there are too many smaller meet-ups that come & go for us to maintain. If this is of interest then please see Fetlife for possible options in your area. Thank you.
