What we’re about
Welcome to North Shore Dinner, Drinks & Social !
It's right there in the name! We are a fun and friendly group of people based in Sydney's North Shore suburbs who like to meet up for dinner, drinks and fun socialising along the (Upper and Lower) North Shore and Northern Beaches ⛱️
The group is open to 30(ish)-60(ish)s age groups who live, work or socialise on Sydney's North Shore and have good vibes and respect for each other's beliefs and lifestyles.
Unlike some other Meetup groups that merely exist to 'drum up business' and spam members with irrelevant or out-of-area tours or functions, NSDD&S will host a variety of fun local events that we hope you'll find engaging to attend.
We don't charge membership fees, but there may be an occasional cost or gratuity asked for individual events, to contribute to the running costs and Meetup subscription fees.
Group "Rules" - the Dos and Don'ts:
DO:
- We request that Members have a clear profile picture (of yourself, not your pets or scenery). This makes it easier to identify and welcome you when you attend events!
- Check in often! It keeps the group active and lively.
- Be fair and signal your intentions: Please update your RSVP if you can no longer make an event.
- That one bears repeating: Keep your event RSVP up to date!!
- No-shows without notice show a lack of regard and are disrespectful to the orgs.
- Holding a spot for a no-show is not fair for waitlisted members - meaning they miss out.
- No-shows and late cancellations (after the event starts) are recorded for each event.
- TWO (2) No-Shows will get you removed from the group.
- Be respectful to all members, treat others how you would like to be treated.
- Do make suggestions! If you have viable ideas for events or venues, we're happy to entertain them!
DON'T:
- Don't be a dick. (Wheaton's Law)
- Don't be a creep. Unwelcome suggestive, lascivious or inappropriate comments or actions will get you swiftly removed and permanently banned from the group.
- Don't push your agenda. Not everyone holds the same political, religious or lifestyle views as you. This is a social group, and not everyone wants to be ear-bashed.
- Any hate speech or discriminatory behaviour will get you removed and banned from the group.
- Don't spread your germs. If you're not well, (particularly with flu-like symptoms), update your RSVP and stay home to keep others safe.
- Using the group to spam (with irrelevant content) will also get you removed and banned.
- Using the group to advertise businesses or spruke other groups without the express written permission* of the orgs will also get you removed and banned.
As much as I dislike laying down laws for such a vibrant community, adhering to commonsense guidelines keeps that community vibrant, active, thriving and growing.
We are looking forward to seeing you at one of our events!
Kind regards,
Your friendly neighbourhood Org team.
*PS. Unlike some other groups who have strict rules against advertising or promoting other meetup groups, I'm more than happy to run joint events with other sociable Sydney group orgs - on the proviso that they're not pay-to-attend events. NSDD&S exists as a social meetup group, not to earn revenue.
If you're interested in hosting an event, feel free to message Cadder about becoming an event host!
Welcome, and enjoy!
