What we’re about
Encore: Theatre and Events for Friends to Enjoy is a friendly and sociable not for profit group, primarily based around South Bucks, Gerrards Cross, Chalfonts, Amersham, Chesham and surrounding areas. However, if you don’t live in that area you can still request to join if able to travel to and from events.
If you are looking for new friends and things to do why not give us a try?
Theatre has always been a key aspect of our group and we have been to numerous performances over the years since the group started in June 2016. Apart from Theatre our events can be anything from comedy nights, party breaks, quiz nights, outings, music nights, cinema, meals out, walks, guided tours, picnics, informal parties etc.
The extent and number of events will depend on what people are prepared to offer to the group. The organisers are not able to do everything so we are particularly interested in new members who are able to host and organise events.
Please be aware no transport is provided so you make your own way to and from the event venues.
We appreciate not everyone is comfortable with uploading a face photo but this is a requirement for acceptance for new members as it does help with identification when meeting up for events.
We charge an annual subscription fee to the group and you will be advised of the account details to send payments for chargeable events etc. It's £8 for single membership and £16 for a plus-one membership. Paypal payments are not accepted as they charge a fee.
Encore: Theatre and Events for Friends to Enjoy is a Closed Group (acceptance for membership is at the discretion of organisers subject to availability). If accepted you will be encouraged to attend at least one event every year (but hopefully you will want to join us at many more). Current members can also recommend people to join the group.
We hope you will enjoy being a part of Encore and if you have an idea for a show or event please let me know and we will investigate, or better still have a go and organise it yourself as it will be possible to add extra organisers to Meetup.
Three important things to note:
- Only RSVP to an event if you can make it. We do not need to know if you can't make it! If the event is full, you can still RSVP and your name will appear on the waitlist.
- Please remember that should you have to change your RSVP for any reason, make sure you message the host as a matter of courtesy. Don't just change your RSVP to No!
- When asked for payment to cover your inclusion on events this must be made quickly! If you are away or not able to please just take a moment to let us know as it makes extra work if we have to send people chasers!
