What we’re about
Meet, Connect, Chat, Laugh.
Socialise Sheffield is based on a simple premise: meeting up with like-minded people who want to try new things and expand their social circle. We host events as diverse as pub quizzes, meals out and countryside walks, to greyhound racing cinema and theatre trips.
So whether you are new to the area, or born and bred here and want a change from the normal status quo of going to the pub with a handful of mates, join us and let's build up a network of amazing people where we socialise, laugh and above all enjoy life.
Socialise Sheffield thrives on its mix of members and our events are friendly and welcoming. Remember every one of us has had a first event at some point, so please do come along - you will be made very welcome.
If you would like to keep up to date with all events and announcements, please ensure your notifications are set appropriately. Instructions on how to do it are here https://help.meetup.com/hc/en-us/articles/3... , unfortunately this is something I cannot alter for you due to data protection and GDPR.
Hope to see you soon
Some basics we ask of you -
* Have a clear photo -this means your host can recognise you when you come to an event - we don't get many cartoon characters or rivers popping along.
* Change your RSVP as soon as you know you can't attend – the most frustrating thing for organisers is people no showing, we don’t know if you are ill or had an accident or just chosen not to attend, it only takes two seconds to change to not going, hosts can no show you at their discretion according to what notice you give
* If you're running late - let your host know again this just a common courtesy.
* 3 'no-shows' and we will remove you from the group - sorry about this, but as above its something which frustrates both the hosts and the other people coming out to enjoy themselves. (the first time this happens you will have chance to rejoin, but if it's persistent we may permanently remove you)
* Gatecrashing - Do not "gatecrash" an event which is full and/or has a waiting list. This will be treated in a similar way to no-showing. Both are disrespectful to hosts and other members.
* Be respectful - remember as a member you will naturally form friendships with some more than others. The group is about getting out, meeting new people, being sociable but maintaining respect. In the rare instance you do feel pestered or harassed (in person or online) please let me know either on email or direct message.
* Donations - If you love the group and want to help keep it free for everyone then you can make a voluntary donation towards the fees
