Indoor Ultimate Frisbee at *All Saints Catholic High School* on *Thursday*
***Make sure you understand how payment works before signing up (details below)!***
It's too dark to play weekday pickup ultimate outside in the winter, so we've booked a venue to play frisbee indoors! As this is indoors, sadly space is limited (18 people) and it also costs money (£8.50 per session or £70 for the season).
We'll be playing 2 hours of super casual 5v5 pick-up games. As always, all skill levels/experience are welcome! We're happy to teach if you're happy to learn. You just have to be ready to run around a lot :)
***Signup***
Signup will open to the week before each session (at 20:30 when the previous session ends!) - there will be a waitlist if we reach capacity, just sign up and meetup will automatically move you to "going" when someone drops out.
***Payment***
There are 2 options:
* £8.50 per session
* £70 subs for all sessions (Oct-Dec 2025)
Account details are as follows:
Hans Erik Crefcoeur

If you have not paid by **3pm the day before**, we reserve the right to remove you from meetup to allow someone else from the waitlist to attend.
**IMPORTANT:** Please keep your RSVP up to date on meetup (even if you are on the waitlist, as a drop out will automatically move you to "going") - don't be a no show and stop someone else from playing!
***Location***
We're playing in the main sports hall of All Saints Catholic High School.
***Other details***
* Afterwards we always head to a pub and have a drink or two :)
* Frisbee is a non-contact sport, but the occasional bumps can happen, we're all playing at our own risk

World Citizens Friday Social for new-in-town, global minds & third culture kids
**Meet people from around the world** in a conversation-friendly space. We mix informal socializing with a few structured activities so you feel safe, relaxed and make new friends!
**What is World Citizens?** London's community for new-in-town, expats, travellers and third culture kids who want to meet in a *safe*, *culturally enriching* and *thought-provoking* space.
**How to participate?** You *must* enter our ticket lottery at [https://worldcitizenfridays.eventbrite.co.uk](https://worldcitizenfridays.eventbrite.co.uk)! If you're picked, you will receive an invitation email with the secret venue address sometime on Thursday or Friday!
**The secret venue address** changes every week, but is usually somewhere in the City of London square mile area, between London Bridge, Tower Hill and Liverpool Street. To receive the full secret venue address you *must* register via Eventbrite lottery. There is no other way. If you received the full secret venue address, please do not share it with anyone!
**Why the lottery and secret venue?** We balance quantity and quality, newcomers and regulars, and give everyone a chance to experience safe, diverse and culturally enriching events. Expect *less* attendees than the number of RSVP, but *more* quality time connecting with people in a meaningful way!
**What we expect from you:**
1. To be respectful and courteous with everyone.
2. To be present so that others feel listened to.
3. To be mindful of people’s personal space.
*These events are for everyone to feel safe, welcome and comfortable; where everyone can be heard; where everyone can maintain boundaries with harmony. Thank you for your cooperation!*

We want to completely change that: World Citizens proactively designs event systems for everyone to enjoy a safe and pleasant evening.*
