**What to expect:**
This will be an open social event where members have the opportunity to chat and socialise with one another. People can come and go at whatever time suits their needs.

**Important Information**

* There is no set time for members to arrive and/or leave this event.
* No space will be reserved, so members will need to contribute in gathering tables.
* No-shows will be at risk of being removed from the group.

**The plan:**
We will meet inside the Westgate Social. I will share where we are located once I arrive. Whilst the main purpose of the event is to socialise, there is also the option to try a diverse range of street food. The options available are:

Benitos 🌯
Ned's Noodle Bar 🍜
Slice & Dice 🍕
The Chicken Shop

**Q&A**

**I'm new and feel anxious. Is this group not right for me?**
Attending for the first time is pushing you out of your comfort zone, so it is normal to feel anxious. I felt the same when I first attended. We always have a mixture of new and old faces. Regulars are very welcoming and it takes only 2-4 events for most members to feel settled in. My advice is to give it a shot and reflect afterwards if the event is right for you.

**How will I find you?**
Once I arrive, I will share in the comments roughly where we are located, with a description of what I'm wearing.

**What is the Westgate Social?**
Westgate Social is a large social area on the ground floor of the Westgate, connected to Junkyard Golf. It offers a variety of opportunities, such as socialising, dining out and bringing your own games to play.

**Can I bring my own food?**
Whilst members won't have a problem with this, it's unfortunately not the same with security staff. If you bring your own food, you are doing it at your own risk.

**Do I have to buy food?**
This is completely optional.

**Will we be doing anything after the event?**
This will be decided on the day. If anything does happen, it will likely be that we find a nearby pub.

**Can I bring additional people with me?**
Yes you can, but please put them as +1 in your check-in so I can try and find us enough space.

**Group Rules**
These are the policies in place for the group:
**1) Be respectful of others.**
You are going to meet a diverse range of people, so there are bound to be individuals you don't click with. Rather than make an argument with them, just accept you are different. Additionally, do not harass members outside of events. This includes face-to-face and social media sites.
**2) Make sure you correctly update your attending status.**
Not knowing the correct number of attendees can have a negative impact on the event taking place. All it takes is a quick tap on your phone to update your status.
**3) Do not turn up for events you have not signed up for.**
This can potentially lead to difficulties in hosting an event. We don't want to find a member who shows up for pizza, but there is no space on the table!
**4) Do not advertise your own activities in the group without permission.**
Whilst we are happy to see additional events, they must apply to the groups structure. If you want to advertise any of your events, contact Kevin.
**5) Do not take control of events hosted.**
The organisers already have a plan for the event they are hosting. To prevent any difficulties, respect what the organisers have set up for you. Members are welcome to organise additional activities once the event is over.
**6) Appreciate what the organisers do.**
Please remember we are not a business and that all the organisers in the group are hosting events on a voluntary basis. The events we host are for ourselves to enjoy as much as you.
Anyone who does not apply to these rules is at risk of being removed from the group.
