Singles? Couples? What ages?
O&A Events are open to gay men and gay women 21 years of age and older, partnered or single.
How do I become a member? How much?
Currently, O&A Standard membership is free, just enter your email address in the “enter your email” box near the top right of each page, under the heading “your free membership awaits.”
O&A Premier membership, available summer 2009, will be loaded with lots of great perks such as advance notice of upcoming events giving you priority registration (especially nifty since space is limited for most events), exclusive events, savings on all events and a gift package from our sponsors.
Individual events range in price starting at free. O&A Event Planners negotiate the best values possible on all events. Click on individual events to view all the details.
How do I sign up for an event?
All Outings & Adventures events have an easy online registration process. Click on the event of your choice, which takes you to the full event description, and then use the simple shopping cart feature on that page, just below the event description. All events require prepayment for registration, unless otherwise noted. Payment goes through PayPal, which accepts nearly every type of plastic and checks.
Can I pay for the event at the time of the event?
No. Well, not most of the time. Typically, Outings & Adventures has prepaid, put down a substantial deposit or guaranteed a minimum participation. So, going against the grain of our gay genetic make up (at least speaking for the men!), you have to commit and prepay for events.
From time to time an event will not require prepayment, check event posting for full details.
I paid and changed my mind, what now?
Please refer to our cancellation policy (click here). Note that unless otherwise specified in our event description, for most events you can transfer your ticket to another O&A member provided you inform us of the change prior to the event so that we can identify the proper ticket holder.
Can my straight friends come to an event?
O&A offers three categories of events – those for gay men only (marked “M”), those for gay women only (marked “W”), and those for gay men, gay women, and their straight friends (marked “E” for everyone). Check the event post, where the category will be clearly identified. So if you want to bring your straight friends to an event, look for one labeled “E.”
How many O&A Members attend each event?
Most events are purposely planned to be intimate with 12-20 participants, an atmosphere encouraging conversation and camaraderie. To date, events have brought out between 7 and over 100 members, ranging from a cozy spa day to a large poolside fundraising soiree.
