What we’re about
Welcome to The Sydney Greek Parea!
Greeks are usually known for being fun-loving, warm, passionate people who love to eat, drink coffee, and talk (loud) about all sorts of topics including sport, politics, philosophy, κτλ. (that is etc. in Greek).
The type of events we will host will vary, so keep an eye out in case you see an event you like.
The aim is to bring together Hellenophiles (Greeks and Greek-loving people). Everyone is welcome, well, almost everyone. We will not tolerate any rude or aggressive people, basically any troublemakers.
If anyone has an idea for an event and/or are interested in hosting an event, let the organiser know either in person or by sending them a message; at the end of the day, if this is to be a proper community, then it should not rely on a single person to make it work.
We appreciate suggestions for events which may be good to do as a group. We're also open to business sponsorships and collaborations.
So come along and let's be Greek together!
Opa!
By joining or continuing to be part of The Sydney Greek Club, you agree to follow the Group Rules:
- Profile Picture – To assist in creating a safe and positive community, we prefer your profile photo is of your face (not your pet, scenic shot, etc.). If you don’t have a profile photo, your request to join may be delayed or not happen at all. If there is a reason you don’t want your profile photo visible, please message the organiser(s) to let them know.
- Removing members – We reserve the right to remove any member for any reason we seem appropriate.
- Fees – There is no joining fee. We may request a gold coin donation at our events to help with costs. Other than that, all other costs will be event related (e.g. when ordering your own food, drink, buying tickets to events, etc.). If an event has a specific cost, depending on how we organise this, you may need to transfer the relevant amount to the organiser or pay the venue directly. When this is required, details will specified on the event page itself.
- RSVP – If you intend on coming to an event please RSVP to that event. Some events may have a maximum number of spots. If you end up on the Waitlist, please respect the Waitlist. People who repeatedly show up without an RSVP or bypass the Waitlist will be removed from the group. Also, if you RSVP to attend and then you don’t attend, you will be marked as a “No Show”. Those who repeatedly “No Show” will be removed from the group. To avoid this, please amend your RSVP from “Going” to “Not Going”.
- Refunds – If an event has a booking fee and you change your mind and/or don’t show up, you may forfeit this booking fee. Will depend on event and circumstance.
- Conduct – Members are expected to be respectful and courteous to others. We will not tolerate any form of harassment, bullying, vilification or other types of unacceptable behaviour.
- Photos – By attending, you give permission for your photo to be taken and shared on our Meetup page and social media. If you don't want to participate, then simply excuse yourself when photos are being taken. Also, if you choose to take your own photos, please ensure you have the permission of any member that is in your photo(s).
- Liability – Members attend events at their discretion and are responsible for their own and their guests' safety, well-being and belongings during all events. Organisers and hosts do not accept any liability whatsoever.
- Complaints – If you have any issue whatsoever, whether it is about the event, another member, or even the organiser themselves, please kindly discuss this with the organiser(s) in person or via private message.
- Feedback – If you have any feedback for us, please let the organiser(s) know.
