Social Clubs

The Woodside Automotive Group is a collection of 30 car and motorcycle enthusiasts who call Woodside home. This informal organization meets on a monthly basis at various local venues to enjoy their automotive passion, organizes events of their own, and stays actively involved in many other social groups within Woodside. If you own a vintage restored car, car that is actively being restored, hot rod, or sports car, this is the group for you! To learn more about this organization

If you’re looking for ways to get out and see new faces, join us every Friday evening for Pub Club. Enjoy multiple televisions, food, and drinks while you mix and mingle with founding members, prospect members, and everyone in between. 

Are you looking to make a difference? You’re not alone. The Women of Woodside is a not-for-profit 501(c)4 organization comprised of dedicated ladies bonding together for social and community service activities. During the year, you can find them organizing volunteer efforts for charities like American Red Cross, Golden Harvest Food Bank, and Habitat for Humanity, or providing services directly to Woodside residents in need, like running errands, providing transportation, and delivering meals. 

Because Woodside is immersed in scenic woodlands, and enjoys a climate that allows us to spend all year outside, we’re a “natural fit” for those that love hiking and being outdoors. The Woodside Trail Group, a 75-member club created in 2008 by Woodside residents, is an organization that has taken full advantage of those conditions. They not only hike the nearly 20 miles of trails within the Woodside system, they also organize hikes throughout Hitchcock Woods (one of the country’s largest urban nature preserves located in downtown Aiken) and numerous other nearby trails and woodlands as well.

Aiken has a long growing season, fertile soil, and a mild climate, and it comes as no surprise that those with a love of gardening enjoy the wide selection of plants that thrive here. The Gardening Club, made of both men and women, is one such group of individuals, and you can find them either beautifying our community garden, or attending lectures held by area Master Gardeners at The Reserve Club. We give these folks two (green) thumbs up!

Exercise your gray matter with fellow enthusiasts over a game of mah jongg, the classic tile finding game. Never played? No worries! This casual club is suited for beginners, novices and expert level players, and is always open to new members.

Expand your social circle and connect with fellow singles through Woodside’s Singles’ Club. This club, not to be confused with a dating service, is designed to bring individuals that share similar circumstances and interests together for well-planned events and adventures. While romance may blossom, enjoy developing lifelong friendships without the pressure of set ups or matchmaking.

For those that love retreating into a good book, the book club is for you. Not only will you enjoy the comforts of losing yourself in a book in the comfort of your own home, but you’ll also be surrounded by like-minded people at club meetings to discuss your thoughts on the book, the themes you found, and your opinion of the material. This club meets in homes, at The Reserve Club, and at cafes over coffee and delicious meals, giving you experiences that extend far beyond the pages of the book you’re reading.
