Tidewater Prime Timers of S. E. Virginia 
Prime Timers are older gay or bisexual men and
younger adult men who admire mature men. Our members are men who choose
to have their social lives enriched by the diverse activities in which
our members engage. No single definition can describe Prime Timers as
they come from all walks of life. Prime Timers involve themselves in
their community with volunteerism, politics, gay issues, arts,
entertainment and every other facet of healthy living. Prime Timers are
fathers and care givers, businessmen and entrepreneurs, workers and
retired. Some are always on the go and some enjoy the quiet company of
others at home. Yet one thing is true of all Prime Timers: they enjoy
the opportunities and friendships that develop with other Prime Timers
throughout the world.
We have no political agenda. We do have a social
agenda, to further the good and welfare of our members. We are
primarily a social club that seeks to provide a means for our members
to have a fuller life. We survey our members and from their responses,
create a series of special interests groups (sigs), which our members organize. Such sigs
are: the Not Ready for Prime Timers' bridge group, the Saturday morning
Breakfast Bunch, the
Walking Group, the Discussion Group, the Day Trippers, Tuesday Lunch
Group. We have attended the
local college theater, movies at the Naro, had pot luck dinners, and
picnics. Other possible shared Interests Groups are Walking/Hiking,
Camping, Gardening, Cooking, Naturist, Sports Fan, Investment, and
Discussion Groups. These groups form and evolve solely by the interest
of
our members.
