What we’re about
Hi there, Thanks for your interest in joining the ‘Women Without Kids’ group. We often have a waitlist to join the group. Your request may take a month to be accepted. We appreciate your patience. Thanks again, WWK.
Please note - if you are undecided about whether you will have children or not, this is NOT the group for you! Also, if your request illustrates that you have not read this description or thought about the answers to the questions asked upon joining, your request will be declined. Please understand this group is different to many of the groups on Meetup and is managed accordingly to ensure you have the best opportunity to get to meet and connect with other women 'in the same boat'.
Our Meetup group is a social group, where women who do not have children and who won't be having children can get together for fun, chat and good times, knowing that they wont be asked to explain or justify their child-free status. Sometimes it can feel like you are the only person in the world who doesn't have children, especially when all your friends and family do! But in fact there are loads of women without children out there, who are living fun, busy and rewarding lives, just without kids.
If you are looking for a new child-free social circle; if you want to talk to and share experiences with other women who understand and have experienced your situation, this group is for you.
*Please note, we are NOT a group for women who are still trying to have children but more a group for people who wanted children but know now that it will no longer happen, OR for women where children were never in their plans, by choice.
Just some housekeeping:
1 Please add a genuine and recognisable picture of yourself and have at least your first name on your profile when requesting to join the group otherwise your request will be rejected.
2 For this group we require 'active membership' so please make sure that you try to attend at least 1 meet up every 4 months. If you haven't attended an event in the four months after joining, you will be removed to make way for another member to join. We cap membership to ensure equitable access to events. If you are not active, your place will be given to the next in line.
3 No shows will be removed (there is no tolerance for this as it is not hard to change an rsvp to no).
4 If you repeatedly pull out of an event less than 24 hours beforehand, you will be removed. Many of us join this group to be able to rely on each other when so many of our friends cannot be relied upon :-)
5 We are not a 'singles' group. Many of the women in this group are single but many are in happy partnerships also and some events will be open to partners coming along. Please do not join this group if you are hoping to use it solely as a means to find a partner (either within the group or during events). We aim to cultivate genuine friendships with each other.
We are a friendly bunch of ladies and look forward to meeting you at an event.
Thanks :-)
