What we’re about
This group is for women who are 50 and over and love life or are looking to love life more. If you would like to connect with other women to have fun, for social support, to chat and make friends then this is the group for you. We aim to provide a wide and varied range of events that are of interest to our members. We are always open to suggestions for new things to try.
Please read the following points, which contain important information on how the group runs.
1. You are asked to bring along £1 in cash to each event you attend. This money is to cover the cost of the Meetup fees for running the group.
2. Please change your RSVP to 'not going' or remove yourself from the waiting list, if it turns out that you can't make an event. This should be done a minimum of 24 hours before the event, except in exceptional circumstances, to ensure that someone else has a chance to replace you.
3. If you can not attend on the day, please contact the Event Organiser directly. You can do this privately via the direct messaging facility on the App or in the comments section for the event (visible to all attendees) or via text to organiser, if they have provided their mobile number.
4. Failure to update your RSVP at least 24 hours before the event or not turning up, without informing the Event Organiser, will result in you being marked as a 'no show'. (This will not apply if you have been moved from the "Waiting List" to "attending" only on the day of the actual event) If you have three 'no shows' within a 6 month period you will be removed from this group.
5. Events fill up quickly once they have been publicised but we will aim where possible to put them on the website for 48 hours beforehand, so it pays to check the website/App regularly. If an event you are interested in is full, please add your name to the waiting list. Many times people drop-out and you may find you are transferred to 'going' at which time you will get a notification to let you know. This is done in time order of when you joined the waitlist.
6. Every 6 months the organisers will review the membership data. If you have not shown any activity e.g. attended an event, RSVP'd or visited the group page in that period, you will be considered inactive and removed. If you feel you have extenuating circumstances, please contact one of the organisers.
7. Please have a clear and up to date photo on your membership profile. This helps the event host identify you as an attendee, especially if you are fairly new to the group.
8. All organisers and event hosts are volunteers. We do not have public liability or any other type of insurance cover. All individuals attending any of the events hosted by the group are entirely responsible for their own health and safety.
We hope as a group that we will build supportive, fun, positive, non-judgemental, fully accepting and friendly relationships together. If you have any problems, complaints or suggestions please contact any of the organisers.
