PURPOSE
This group is for backyard pool parties in the SF Bay Area attended by gay men only. After joining, you'll be able to meet new friends, catch up with old friends, and participate in games, sports (like pool volleyball), fashion shows, talent shows and whatever else we can think of that can go on in the vicinity of a pool. You can bring a friend but your friend must arrive with you. As a result of the Covid pandemic, you need to be vaccinated so that we can all feel safe.
There is no cost to join but there will always be a request to donate a dollar or two at events to help offset the cost of supplies and the meetup.com fee (paid by organizers).
Members are expected to be active in the group; inactive memberships will be removed. Please do not request to join if you have no intention in attending or if it is not possible for you to attend events.
At events for this group, members are expected to behave in a manner respectful of other members and of the host. There is no room for a “look at me having a good time” party mentality, especially with the overuse of alcohol.
REQUIREMENTS TO JOIN (1 to 4: please read all of them)
1. You need to live in the SF Bay Area (with perhaps some exceptions).
2. You will need to have a profile picture that clearly shows your face, without a mask or sunglasses. Your face needs to be centered in the picture so that it can be easily seen (and so your face doesn't get cropped when meetup.com shows you on a list of members in the group). A full body picture where your face is really small or blurry is not acceptable. This requirement is so we can learn names of our fellow members AND so I can more easily keep track of who attended an event and who didn't.
3. If your meetup ID doesn't include your name, you’ll need to have a good reason for that, and you will need to tell me your name before I approve your request to join. The group is private, so only other members will be able to see your profile information. If you have to be secretive about your name or your picture, this is not the right group for you!
4. You need to be vaccinated for Covid. Yes, I discriminate against non-vaxers.
