What we’re about
Welcome Edinburgh Professionals
This group is for anybody who wants to make new friends. It's all about fun and enjoying life. We love to do indoor and outdoor events. wide range of walks for all abilities, great nights out, cinema, and cultural events (Edinburgh Fringe, theatre). We also like to meet up and watch sporting events whilst enjoying a few liquid refreshments.
If you're up for it, join up, and meet other Edinburgh Professionals. We're a friendly group and have had some great meet-ups and will have some more great meetups in the future.
There are three main aims of this group.
- To have active organisers and active group members.
- To have regular events (usually weekly).
- To try to have fun in and around the Edinburgh Area
To achieve these aims group members must observe the following:
a) You must have a photo (of yourself) before you can join up. This is so that you can recognise the organisers when you come to a meet-up for the first time. A photo also helps the group's organisers to recognise you.
b) There is currently an annual £5.00 membership fee for this group. For each large meetup group, subscriptions to MEETUP are currently $240 a year. Your £5 will help pay for the running of this group. This fee is due on 1st July each year. There are several ways to pay this fee

Please put in reference your MEETUP NAME and message me when done.
CASH
Pay cash to any of the Organisers at your next event.
c) Please keep your RSVP updated at all times. If you have RSVP'd YES to a meetup but cannot come then please change your RSVP to NO at least 2 hours before the event starts. We usually check who is coming to the event before the event starts so we know who and how many to expect.
d) The PLUS 1 option is for people visiting or people trying out the group. Please encourage people to join rather than use this option frequently as it isn't fair on paying members. If a member constantly adds a PLUS 1 they may be removed from events to give paying members a chance to get a space.
e) Please do not write any abusive comments. They will be deleted and you may be removed from the group. However, feel free to comment on an event as it is always good to communicate with fellow members of the group.
f) When you receive an invite to a new meetup there is no need to RSVP NO unless you change it from a YES.
g) Location - For each meetup, please check the meetup details. This should tell you where to meet and at what time. We don't want people getting lost when they are trying to get to a meetup.
h) NO SHOWS - Three No Shows and you will be removed from the group. That is why you must keep your RSVP updated at all times. This rule also applies to people who often change their RSVP to a NO at the last minute.
i) A member may be removed from the group if they have not attended any event in the last 4 months. You may rejoin the group if you are removed if you want to come to an event.
j) You must be able to be contacted by an Event Organiser. If you have private options set up in Meetup and this is not possible you will be removed from the group. We have had in past a need to contact members and this caused frustration with Event Organisers.
k) If you would like to host a meetup or if you have any suggestions for a meetup then feel free to message one of the organisers.
Remember this is YOUR group and I welcome any new ideas to make this meetup group successful.
Paul and all the Event Organisers
