 Meetups
 What are meetups?
Meetups are real-life gatherings of members for fun and friendship! They are organised by members, for
members, and therefore are usually free of charge. They take place in pubs, restaurants, or anywhere
interesting. They can be meals out, drinks, dancing, walking, days out to attractions - anything! The one
thing they have in common is they are all wicked fun and you will be made extremely welcome.
Who goes to meetups?
All sorts of people go to meetups. We welcome anybody who is a member of this site to come along, meet
some new people and make some new friends. Some meetups are kid-friendly, and the organiser will tell you
if this is that case. Friends of members are welcome.
My first meetup - I'm terrified, what should I do?
We understand! Everybody has pre-meetup nerves, even meetup veterans. Not everybody can walk into
a crowd of people and relax straight away. So our advice is to contact the event organiser via a private
message, and let them know you're thinking of coming. They will normally be very happy to meet you outside
the venue, and walk in with you and make sure you are OK during the meetup. Remember: everybody was new
to meetups once and we've all been through it, but once you're in there you will have the time of your life!
How do I organise a meetup of my own?
To organise your own meetup, first go the "Members' Meetups" conversations room, then click "Start a
new conversation". You will need to enter a suggested or confirmed date for the meetup, and put all
the details in the "Message" section of the form.
Other members who are interested will then add their names to your list or let you know via private
messaging that they are coming.
How do I change a meetup I've organised?
If you are the organiser of a meetup, you can update the meetup thread. You can change the date,
change it's suggested or confirmed status, and change the details. To do this, click your meetup thread
and then click "Update this meetup".
Where can I see photos of other meetups?
We strongly encourage people to take photos of meetups and send them in to us. If you go to a meetup
somebody may take your photo and send it in. That's part of the fun of meetups, and we regret that we
can't take the photos down even if you don't like them (we're sure you will). If you really don't want
your picture on the site, you should tell the photographer that you don't want your photo taken.
We will not usually publish photographs of kids taken at meetups.
