Coffee Connections (20s 30s and 40s)

Hello and welcome to Coffee Connections! 😊 If you're between 20 and 50 years old, want to explore Glasgow's vibrant café and food scene or even just do many kinds of activities while making new friends in a friendly, welcoming and relaxed environment, this is the group for you!

We try out different cafes, pubs, restaurants (to support local businesses) as well as go for relaxing walks, visit the many places and events Glasgow and beyond has to offer and so much more! We host meetups typically every 1st and 3rd weekend of each month but at other times too depending upon what's happening.

Whether you're new or born and bred in Glasgow, we hope you can join us. This group is also good if you wish to practice your conversational English among others. 😊

📋👍🏻 Want to join Coffee Connections?

• We need to see your face in your profile photo. Sorry, no avatars, no cartoons, no AI generated photos, no photos not showing your face including any sunglasses worn. If we spot any of these in your photo we will decline your join request. We need to know who is in our group, especially to keep our community safe.
• Answer our series of short questions when requesting to join. This helps us understand why you're joining and what your expectations are for this group. 😊
• This group is primarily for those living in and around Glasgow. Anyone from further afield is welcome but we expect you to be able to travel to our meetups without major difficulty.
• Please note that approval/declining join requests is entirely at the discretion of the group organisers.

⚠️🫱🏻‍🫲🏻 By being a Coffee Connections group member, you agree to the following rules: ⚠️

• We expect our members to treat each other with respect, to transparently communicate with the event hosts and group organisers, especially if you cannot attend the event or anything that might affect your membership of the group. Of course, equally important, we want you to enjoy yourself!
• Anyone whose conduct is malicious, deceptive, unacceptable, consistently makes others uncomfortable and/or goes against treating others with respect may be investigated by the group organisers. Sanctions ranging from warnings to removal or being removed and/or banned from this group may also be applied.
• To keep our community active and focused on our most active members, we expect you to attend at least one meetup in a 12 month period. Otherwise you can be removed from this group following a membership review by the group organisers. If you are removed but circumstances change at a later date, you are welcome to re-join us.
• Before you RSVP to a meetup, we expect you to read any information and meetup terms and conditions set. When you RSVP, we assume you have read, understood and accept these details and any specific T&Cs. Please contact the meetup hosts if there's anything you're unsure about.
• If you're unable to attend, please change your RSVP to "not going" or let the event hosts know asap if unable to do so. You can change your RSVP without further explanation until 11:59pm on the day before the meetup takes place. By doing this, you will allow others the opportunity to take your place especially if the meetup is fully subscribed.
• If unforeseen circumstances on the day of the meetup make you unable to attend, please send a short DM to the meetup host ASAP. Family and medical emergencies, illness, childcare and other applicable unforeseen circumstances are considered on a case-by-case basis. We don't need to know too many details and this encourages our members to be courteous to fellow members, reduce incidences of flaking and also helps the event hosts reliably gauge attendance.
• You will be marked as a "no show" if: you RSVP as "going" but do not attend the meetup and did not communicate your absence with the meetup hosts. OR you change your RSVP on the day of the meetup without explanation and do not physically attend. OR your reason for your last minute dropout is deemed foreseeable, e.g. forgot about the meetup, no longer interested, meetup time unsuitable for yourself, choosing other pre-arranged plans instead, etc.
• If you no show on 3 occasions in a 12 month period, starting from your first no show, then you can be removed and banned from the group after a review of your membership by the group organisers.
