Social @ Gloucester Green 🍜😃
Details
What to expect: 🤔
Come and socialise with us at the Gloucester Green Food Market! This will be your chance to try out some of the diverse street foods available. Feel free to just browse and socialise if you prefer, but if you're hungry, this is the time to grab a meal or a snack.
Once everyone has had a chance to enjoy the market (and their food, if they chose to buy some), we will go to a nearby cafe or pub. This will be a more settled location for continued conversation and socialising.
Important Information: ⚠️
- No tables are reserved at the venue
- Repeated no-shows or instances of gatecrashing may result in removal from future group events
- If you require reasonable adjustments, please inform the event organiser in advance
- Guests must be aged 18 or over
The Plan: 💪🏻
We will meet outside Thirsty Meeples at 2 PM. From 2:10 PM, members will have the opportunity to explore the food stores at Gloucester Green. As of 3 PM , we will find a nearby pub/cafe to socialise in. Alternatively, if the weather is nice, there is the option of taking a short walk across Oxford University Parks. This will be decided by attendees on the day.
Q&A 👀
Here are the common questions asked relating to this event:
I'm new and feel anxious. Is this group not right for me? 😨
Attending for the first time is pushing you out of your comfort zone, so it is normal to feel anxious on your first occasion. We always have a mixture of new and old faces. Regulars are very welcoming and it takes only 2-4 events for most members to feel settled in. Our advice is to give it a shot and reflect afterwards if the event is right for you.
How will I find you? 🧐
Once the organiser arrives, they will share in the comments roughly where they are located, with a description of what they are wearing.
We live in Britain, surely it's going to rain? ☔
If this turns out to be the case, an alternative plan will be posted, likely being socialising in a nearby pub or cafe.
Where will I be able to park? 🚗
Whilst it's not impossible to find parking in Oxford, you will find yourself incredibly limited. Therefore, we don't have any recommendations other than stop at the most convenient Park & Ride and bus.
Is this a dating event? 👩❤️👨
We accept that relationships will naturally form in our group. However, the primary goal of this event is to create a welcoming and inclusive environment for everyone to socialise and have fun with dates being a bonus.
Group Rules 📝
To make our events as safe and easy as possible, we ask all members to respect the following guidelines:
1) Be respectful of others 🙏🏼
You'll encounter diverse individuals, some of whom you may not connect with immediately. Instead of arguing, acknowledge your differences. Refrain from harassing members, whether in person or on social media, outside of events.
2) Appreciate what the organisers do ❤️
Please remember we are not a business and that all the organisers in the group are hosting events on a voluntary basis. The events we host are for ourselves to enjoy as much as you do.
3) Have a valid photo of yourself in your profile 🤳🏾
There have been multiple occasions where members have received inappropriate messages, all from members without photos. To help prevent this from happening, we ask all members to provide a photo of themselves.
4) Update your attending status correctly ✅
Not knowing the correct number of attendees can negatively impact the event. Excessive absences and/or gatecrashing events, without valid reasons, will lead to removal from the group.
5) Do not take control of events hosted 🤐
The organisers already have a plan for the event they are hosting. To prevent any difficulties, respect what the organisers have set up for you. Members are welcome to organise additional activities once the event is over.
6) Do not advertise your own activities in the group without permission 🙅🏻
Whilst we are happy to see additional events, they must apply to the group's structure. If you want to advertise any of your events, contact Kevin.
