Onwards and Upwards

WELCOME
Hi y’all and welcome! So we’re all about bringing people together for social activities—indoor and outdoor—food, hikes, concerts, bars, group trips—anything really. If you have an idea, then let us know. All are welcome, whether you’re new to the area, or consider yourself a native—but whatever you are, or wherever you’re from, we’re all better off moving onwards and upwards through life together!

THE ‘SMALL PRINT’
Please ensure you upload a CLEAR FACE PIC when requesting to join, as it will help us recognize you during your first meetings, and not doing so could delay, or even prevent you from joining the group. And by ‘clear face pic’, it needs to be JUST YOU—not you and others, where we have no idea who you are! Also, can we get your name too, and not just some random numbers?

Members need to be 21 or older, as many meetups take place at ‘adult’ venues. There is no upper age limit—you’ll know whether you fit in or not!

COMMON COURTESY
If you RSVP to an event, please show up! Most events have a waitlist, and it isn’t fair for the folks waiting to not get the opportunity to attend.

Our policy is that after THREE NO-SHOWS without a proper cancellation, an individual will be removed from the group. If you find you’re unable to attend, please cancel at least 24 hours before the event to give those on the waitlist a chance of attending. However, if the situation is beyond your control, then that is perfectly fine.

But if you cancel on the day of the event without prior warning, this will be marked as a NO SHOW. This also prevents waitlisted people from being able to attend, as they receive their notifications (that they’re now going) far too late.

ABOUT THE WAITLIST
While it can be disappointing to miss out on an event because you’re on the waitlist, the waitlist IS THERE FOR A REASON. Often the event/venue/table can only accommodate so many, and so may have been reserved for that number. If you are on the waitlist, please DON'T MESSAGE US and ask if you can still attend, or worse, just turn up to the event. It would be unfair to those who signed up sooner to not get a seat, and we would be put in the very uncomfortable position of having to ask you to leave.

Having said that, if the venue can hold more, we often slide 'waitlisted' folks to 'going', especially those of you who have previously attended events and supported the group.

Thanks for your understanding in this.

We want everyone to have a good time, meet people and make new friends. Please be nice to one another, and be respectful! Any discourteous behavior will be investigated and if necessary, a warning given, and could result in removal from the group.

And once again, there is an RSVP system in place, so PLEASE DON'T JUST SHOW UP TO EVENTS!
