GROUP RULES, PLEASE NOTE:
LoMAZ events are run by volunteers. We usually limit event numbers as we prefer a smaller, friendlier group. This event however will not have a waitlist as afterwards we are going to a large pub for a Sunday summer evening social afterwards.

If you can no longer attend, please change your RSVP as soon as possible.
We remove members from the LoMAZ Meetup group who:

  • RSVP as ‘Going' but then do not show up (without changing their RSVP) three times in a row
  • RSVP as ‘Going' but then change their RSVP to 'No' five times in a row
  • Turn up at an event without being on the 'Going' list (i.e. members who have not signed up or are on the waitlist)

Thank you for your interest in the group & being part of LoMAZ.
