Suggesting an Event Idea
We love to hear ideas for events. If enough people let us know they are interested in a particular topic we can usually organise it.

Cancelled Events
Occasionally we need to cancel an event, usually due to bad weather, or a host falling ill at the very last minute.
When this occurs you will be notified via email and text, and the event will be rescheduled for another time. You will also be given the option of a refund.

Bad Weather
If bad weather is forecast your event (if being held outdoors) may be cancelled and you will be notified by email and text.
How long beforehand the event is officially cancelled depends on the forecast.
If it's very severe weather it will probably be cancelled a few days before.
If it looks like the weather may improve we'll leave it until the last minute. A bad forecast turns sunny surprisingly often.

Admin runs to approve new members and posts are usually done at least once every two days. Please be patient (and polite), and be aware than the group admin cannot be in the group 24/7.
