Cambridge International Friends

🎉 Join us for our weekly meetup! 🍻
If you're in the mood for drinks, tasty food, and great conversation, we’d absolutely love for you to join us! The event is open to everyone, but we do give priority to those who follow a few simple guidelines to help make everything run smoothly. Please take a moment to read through the rules below:

1. RSVP is required for entry: To make sure everything is organised, please confirm your attendance in advance. You can only join if you’re on the confirmed attendee list. If you’re on the waitlist, haven’t signed up, or are marked as non-attending, we won’t be able to let you in. This helps us ensure fairness for everyone!
2. RSVP Deadline: The RSVP closes at 3 PM on the day of the event, so please make sure you’ve signed up before then.
3. Respectful Behaviour: We want everyone to feel welcome and have a great time, so let’s all be kind, respectful, and positive. A good vibe makes the event even better!
4. Arrival Times: We’d love for you to arrive on time so you don’t miss out on anything. We totally understand that life happens, but being on time helps everyone enjoy the event from start to finish.
5. Responsible Drinking: If you’re having a drink, please do so responsibly. We want everyone to have fun, but your safety and well-being come first!

Limited Capacity: Keep in mind that each venue has different capacity limits, so not everyone may be able to join every time. We do our best to accommodate as many as possible, and those who follow the rules will be prioritised.
We’re really looking forward to seeing you all and having a fantastic time together! Can't wait to catch up! 🎉

Hey everyone,

This is our monthly International friends meetup.
Let's get together and chat about traveling, living in different countries and anything else you want to talk about.

Let's try getting back to Revolution. It's been a while, so hopefully the upstairs will be open. It might be a bit more packed than usual but is a good area. They also do 2 for 1 on cocktails until 21:00 ;)
Expect this to be crowded, especially later in the evening!

I would recommend, especially for newer people to show up earlier rather than later, when it will harder to separate our group from the rest of the party people :)

Please update your RSVPs accordingly. Meetup is simple.. If you are on the Attendees list I expect you to show up, and if you are not, don't!
I know it's a night out event, still any inappropriate behavior or harassing of any kind will not be tolerated.

Keep an eye on the comments as you arrive, in case there are any changes. I will post where exactly we will be!

Hope to see you there!

***
Also please note there is a £5 yearly member fee to cover the admin meetup cost. I am not going to chase anyone, I feel this is each and every one's responsibility to keep the group going.

Let's meet up and have a pleasant afternoon with other bookfriendly humans. No common book, just bring whatever you've been reading and join us for some communal reading time. If instead you prefer to do artwork, painting, crocheting, crafts etc then that's totally welcome too!

Remember to pack headphones with you in case surrounding noise becomes an issue.

From the website (https://silentbook.club/pages/about-us)

Silent Book Club is a global community of readers and introverts, with 300 chapters around the world led by local volunteers. SBC members gather in person and online to read together in quiet camaraderie.

Silent Book Club started in 2012 with a couple of friends—Guinevere de la Mare and Laura Gluhanich—reading in companionable silence at our neighborhood bar in San Francisco. We loved books, and reading with friends, but most of our previous attempts at book clubs had fizzled out.
Often with traditional book clubs there's the scramble to finish the assigned book, and the pressure to have something smart to say. Wouldn't it be great to have a book club where you could just enjoy books, friends, and wine—without any homework? At Silent Book Club, there's no assigned reading.

We started Silent Book Club because reading with friends enriches our lives and makes us happy. We love hearing about what people are reading (often in their other book clubs) and we think it's important to put down our phones and be social. Real, live, breathing-the-same-air social, not hearting-you-on-Instagram social.

Silent Book Club is about community. Everyone is welcome, and anyone can join or launch a chapter. We encourage people all over the world to start their own Silent Book Clubs. All you need is a friend, a café, and a book. We have active chapters around the world in cities of all sizes, and new chapters are being launched by volunteers every week.
