OTHER RULES
RSVP COURTESY
PLEASE keep your RSVP up to date.
This is always important so hosts know who we’re looking out for also where spaces are limited. It’s unfair to members on the waiting list to say you’re taking a place and not turn up.
Also if you’re on the waiting list and someone drops out you will be automatically added as an attendee in chronological order (the app does this automatically) So please keep an eye out and again change your RSVP if you can no longer attend.
Members who repeatedly RSVP and do not attend may be removed from the group.

All members are responsible for their own safety while on activities with Friends @ The Coast. Please take sensible precaution, wear appropriate clothing and ensure you have the right level of fitness for activities. Please also be kind and look out for others who may need help.
