What we’re about
All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better… Ralph Waldo Emerson
True York Club is the new city-wide community York didn't realise it's been crying out for. York is us and we are York, so let's pursue our interests together! ☺️
Our foundational 100% free-for-all “ludicrously simple” events:
☻ True York – open city sharing & discovery
☻ Tag™ – properly(!) social media creation
☻ R.O.M.P. – live performance & entertainment
At first people refuse to believe that a strange new thing can be done, then they begin to hope it can be done, then they see it can be done—then it is done and all the world wonders why it was not done centuries ago… Frances Hodgson Burnett

Why is True York in-person rather than online?
Because technology is, in short, overrated.
I have no idea what this gathering will be like or where it may lead, but I'm absolutely certain it'll be more fruitful than just staying in.

- Let's occupy the tables at the entrance to Shambles Market off Parliament Street. 🪻
- Bring any refreshments you'd like (I took my own coffee and biscuits last time). 🐃🌱
