Lets Meet Up Face To Face.
Known and accredited Google guides can set up meets for ALL Google users in their local area.
Eg.
Lets meet up for sketching the trees in Hyde Park.
Lets meet up for exploring the best Asian grocers in the Haymarket.
Lets set up our easels at 7am at North Bondi Beach to paint the sunrise.
Lets meet up for a cross city run from Botany to Circular Quay.
Keep it in the public domain so no fruit cakes can target the meets.
Add a drop down menu to Google search called; “Lets Meet In The Real World” that draws Googlers to local meets of interest.

What if a Google Local guide ( such as myself) could suggest a meetup in her local area for an en plein air painting session ? Interested people could front up to the nominated spot…with sketch pad or paints in hand at for example the coastal walk at Bondi to Bronte ( map detail included ) Painting in a group , especially in the great outdoors is one of lifes great pleasures.

All of us are concerned that social media and online interaction are replacing and destroying real human interaction.
What if local guides could arrange and post actual meetups covering their field of expertise?
Painting in the great outdoors ? Yup. Thats me… eg. 9am at Coogee Beach in Sydney on Saturday. Bring your paints. Sketch pad and or easels.
A foodie trail through Sydneys China town?..there is someone out there who knows all about it.
Google could pop up advertise to interested parties.
Bird watching? The Royal National Park. 7am Sunday.
Its a community.
No fee.
Google gets ad money.

Hello @AggyBees ,
Welcome to Connect.
Please keep in mind that, idea exchange is a place on Connect for Local Guides to share their feedback and ideas with our team to tell us about a way to improve the Local Guides program.
With that said I will move your post to the Meet-ups section of Connect ,because it fits better to it.
Also I recommend creating a meet-up on our meet-up site and interested Local Guides in your area can indicate their interest via RSVP. You can share your meet-up more widely on your social channels, which may garner your friends or family to become Local Guides too!
Hi @AggyBees ,
Please note that what you’ve posted is not an idea.
I am going to merge this one and your Painting In The Great Outdoors. post to the Lets Meet. post, because they represent similar topic.
