Sutton & Lichfield Friends
**If you have been removed from the group because you haven't paid the £2 renewal fee, and you still want to be a member, you will need to re-join and pay the joining fee.** A big, warm welcome from Sutton & Lichfield Friends. Whether you are looking to enjoy a new aspect to your social life, widening your existing social circle, or maybe meeting new friends, then we are definitely for you. We offer a wide range of events where, rest assured, you will be with like minded people. If you are maybe a little hesitant, then just hold onto the thought that we were all new to this once! Our group encompasses people from all walks of life, regardless of any individual's background or circumstances and we are always ready to welcome new members to come and participate in any of the events we offer. As with other Meetup groups, we do have a few guidelines outlining what we expect from our members. * A full face photograph is required in order for us to be able to accept you. This is to enable hosts to recognise you when you attend events. * Our annual membership fee is £3, payable within 10 days of being accepted to the group. Failure to pay within this time will result in your request being rejected. (Applicants that are members of excessive Meetup groups will also be rejected, because we like to keep the group to active members.) * Please check your diaries to make sure you are free and able to attend before adding yourself to an event. It could be that as a result of repeated failure to attend events with little or no notification, you may be removed from the group. * To avoid the above happening, we simply ask that you keep an eye on your RSVPs and make sure you are up-to-date. People on the waitlist will be interested in taking your place so it is important that all responses are current, this takes a matter of seconds to do. * We ask that should you find you are unable to keep your place then you remove yourself from the event at the earliest opportunity and let the host know, thus allowing the next person on the waitlist the chance to take your place. * If you opt to participate in an event that requires a payment direct to the host, these may include events such as meals and parties, etc., please make sure your payment is sent as soon as possible and in accordance with the requirements of the individual event. * In order to participate in 'paid' events you will need to be able to receive private messages from the event organiser to allow bank details to be forwarded to you, and the facility to be able to pay by bank transfer. * As event hosts are required to pay individual venues for allocated places in 'paid events' then any monies you pay are unfortunately non refundable. If you sign up to such an event and find that you are unable to attend, then where there is a person on the waitlist they will be given the opportunity to take your place and therefore a refund could be arranged. If there are no takers for the place, then unfortunately your payment is forfeit. While we already host a wide variety of events we always welcome other suggestions and will encourage and support anyone who is willing to host or to help host events.  If this interests you, contact one of the organisers or event hosts.  Likewise if you have any suggestions or comments about how to do things better we’d like to hear about it. Our full protocol is available on request. Caroline and Erica

Female Friends - Birmingham (20 - 45yrs )

Birmingham, 43

Female Friends - Birmingham (20 - 45yrs )

Welcome to our community! This group is made for ladies who want to make new female friends in Birmingham in a relaxed environment. We hope you will make lifelong girlfriends here, as well as enjoy all the fun Birmingham has to offer. There will be several events each month ranging from brunch, theatre, days out and much more! Suggestions for events are welcomed and encouraged. We encourage new people to attend, so feel free to RSVP to events that take you interest! 👩🏿‍🤝‍👩🏼❤️

Female Friends Birmingham is an WOMEN ONLY offshoot of a thriving similar group - Female Friends London that's been running for 4yrs now! Please Check it out and see what kind of events you can expect!

Our Ethos -

We want everyone to contribute to the success and joy of this group, and this involves turning up to the events you RSVP to. Showing up is a commitment we want everyone to make, as this helps the organisers maximise the spaces booked, helps the attendees meet more new people, and most importantly it help you fulfil the commitment you made to yourself to meet nice new friends.

WE STRICTLY DO NOT DO ANY NETWORING OR ANY BUSINESS-RELATED EVENTS OF ANY KIND, NO EXCEPTIONS. This group is for meaningful friendships and quality time amongst women in London.

NO-SHOW POLICY – We would like to maximise every event for your full enjoyment, therefore we encourage you to turn up to the events you RSVP to. All attendance is monitored. TWO missed events will be marked as 'no-shows', and a polite reminder will be sent to you. If you do not show up THREE times when you have RSVP'd as "Yes" without sending a message and changing your RSVP, you will be automatically removed from the group. Its important you RSVP to things you can attend to, and change you RSVP in good time if other plans come up. Please do this so we can offer your spot to someone else if you decide not to attend. This rule applies to last minute drop outs (UNDER 48hrs) without a message too. This is to make sure that we maximise all the space we book for events and include more people who want to participate and enjoy meeting each other.

PAYMENT - Please note, running this group is not free and lead organisers pay Meet-up a monthly fee to keep the group running. Therefore RSVPs will be charged a non-refundable £3 for all events. Some events might also require an additional fee if the restaurant or event venue requires a prepayment. This £3 is non-refundable under all circumstances unless only if the organisers cancel the event. If you cancel your RSVP the non-refund still applies. If you would like to support the continued running of this group you can also donate any amount to our PayPal pool which I can send to you if you request the link :)

WAITLIST - Please be aware that we currently don't have waitlist and all events are first come first serve. Updates will be sent out once we can have a functioning waitlist.

SAFETY AND COURTESY: We want everyone to have a fun and safe time when attending our events, and we want our organisers to communicate with attendees about event updates with confidence that they will be treated with respect - therefore we follow Meet-up's policy on safety strictly. We do not tolerate any abusive language towards anyone in this group. Please DM people with respect. Any members found to be harassing/insulting/threatening/bullying any member of this group will be removed immediately and the ban will be permanent. We also make reports to meet-up who have the power to remove any policy breakers of the platform completely.

SOCIAL MEDIA: Our Instagram handle is @femalefriendsLDN. Please follow. We take pictures at events. If you do not want your picture uploaded please let the organiser know and they will delete all pictures featuring you.
