What we’re about
Hello, my name is Ian Hobbs and I am the organiser of our photography Meetup Group. I live in Manchester and will need the help of local Liverpool based members to help run our group.
This group is for anyone interested in all areas of photography. Let's get out not just in Liverpool, but in the North West and photograph. This group is to arrange photowalks, as well as to inform you about interesting events happening in and around Liverpool that could be fun to shoot.
Can member upload a clear picture of your face so that event hosts can recognise people attending our meet-ups.
Our group is open to anybody that enjoys taking photos, regardless of what kind of camera you use. From a smartphone to a top of the range full frame DSLR. All are very welcome.
Our Meetups should have a social element built into them, making use of cafes or bars as part of the Meetup.
This is a none profit making Meetup group and I have removed the £1 attendance fee. As this is my second meetup group and I can have up to 3 groups with my account payment. So our group is free.
In addition to our Meetup group we have. A Liverpool Photography Meetup Facebook group can be found @ https://www.facebook.com/groups/188192325241080/ , where they have more discussion, weekly challenges and monthly competitions. Please feel free to join if you are on Facebook.
If you're interested in being an event organiser, and organising events then let me know. The more members we have, willing to organise events. Will make our group stronger.
Please I must stress the need for people to make an effort to actually attend Meetups, that they have rsvp attending. Or let the event organiser know and change their rsvp to not attending if something else comes up, and can't attend.
A number of our group members have raised concerns about people not showing up to our Meetups without changing their rsvp’s to not attending or contacting the event organiser. This has lead to event organisers and members waiting for people that don’t show up. Many Meetup group have a three no show and out rule.
So if a member fails to turn up for Meetups three times without changing their rsvp to not attending or contacting the event organiser. They will be removed from the group. However, they will not be banded and will have the option of re-applying for group membership.
Nobody will be asked to leave the for not being able to attend any of or Meetups if they change their rsvp to no attending.
Please give us 24 hour notice if you can’t attend the Meetup.
Also nobody will be removed if they have a genuine reason for not being able to contact the event hosts. Like health issues, family crisis or work related emergency issues. So if you have the kind of job that requires you to work at short notice, like a nurse. Please message me and your group membership will be safe. Thank you
Organizer
Best regards,
Ian Hobbs
