Group rules:

Membership fees are charged annually to cover the costs of meetup. £12pa (or pro-rata).

*FREE Trial Membership: Try us out for a meeting and see if we are all a good fit. Please don't apply to join unless you can make the next date, either in person or online.

Two options to discuss the SAME monthly book choice - IRL (In real life) and/or zoom.

*In person - 1st or 2nd Thursday monthly from 7pm (discussion proper starts at 7.30pm).

*Zoom - usually the 2nd or **3rd Thursday from 7.15pm (**discussion proper starts at 7.30pm), and you are welcome to attend this one (as well if you want to or) instead.

*The group is limited to 25 members, and it is important to keep the group active.

*IRL meetings are limited to 15 places, so everyone gets a chance to make a contribution. You may not be able to attend every IRL meeting throughout the year. Attendance is therefore on a first come basis and it is essential that you amend your RSVP if you find you cannot attend as early as possible to allow someone else to take your place. Zoom meetings are unlimited and you can attend both if you wish.

*Books are usually <350 pages though occasionally exceeded.

*Anyone can suggest a book of any genre, but they then need to lead the discussion at both groups. Just message your interest to Julia or talk to her at the end of a meeting.

Please ensure your Meet-Up settings are correctly set, so you receive any Group messages & be advised of events as and when they are uploaded to the website, particularly when you apply to join.

*Please respect fellow attendees.

*Join our Whatsapp group after your trial period if you want to.

Reasons for Declining/Cancelling Membership:

* Failing to pay membership fees as requested.

* Displaying inappropriate behaviour, including lateness or rudeness.

* Registering for an event and then not turning up (persistently). If you change your mind, simply change your RSVP as early as possible.

* Membership is monitored and managed periodically to ensure we keep active members.

* If your membership is cancelled, reapply at any time, if you want to rejoin.
