What we’re about
I am a longtime meetup attendee who has taken a step up to organise my own group. The reason for this is that I thought it would be fun to have more control of the events I attend and get the most out of what Bristol has to offer.
The events I arrange will be what I personally think will be fun and interesting. This may include evening pub drinks, live music, brunch, dinner, city walks/ scenic walks, picnics, independent cinema, cultural events, museum visits and day trips.
I will try to offer some good variation and always open to suggestions for new event ideas.
There are no age restrictions. Whether you are a 20 something or 40 something I am sure you will find something you will enjoy.
A few things to be aware of:
1, will do my best to make the group as inclusive and welcoming as possible and I would just ask for others to help me in this regard being friendly and accommodating to new people. No bad behaviour will be tolerated and i will ban any member responsible should I recieve a report of this.
2, If you sign up to an event please do your best to show up and remember to cancel your rvsp if you can no longer make it. I am not worried about this where there are a large number of attendees but matters much more to me where the event runs on low and restricted numbers and failure to show up or late cancellation within 2 hours can cause inconvenience. I will keep track of no shows and late cancellations and if this is repeated this may lead to a banning from the group. I understand things come up from time to time at short notice so just let me know if you can.
3, please read the event descriptions and check event updates. In some cases I may ask for a deposit in advance for a meal or it might require purchasing a ticket in advance. I will not do this on behalf of others so you will need to purchuse your own ticket unless I've said otherwise. Almost all events will require a near on time arrival. The exception is pub drinks where it's ok to show up an hour or 2 later. Where possible I really appreciate an acknowledgement or a response to a question I may have posted as an event update as I feel this just helps with the general event engagement.
I have a WhatsApp group where new events announcements are posted and people are free to chat in the group chat and make plans outside of these planned meetup events.
If you would like to join the group please DM me for the link. I have just recently removed it from this page due the number of spammers joining.
