What we’re about
This group is designed for young professionals in Leeds and the surrounding areas who would like to socialise, meet new people, make friends, try new things, build networks & most importantly have fun!
Whether you are new to the City, passing through or Leeds born and bred, you are welcome to join us!
What is a Young Professional?
Anyone that is young or feels young at heart, age is but a number after all!
And people with a career or plans to build one.
I would ask if you could ensure you have a profile picture that shows your face so we can recognise you at events. Please no emoji, places or anything other than your face.
RSVPing:
Everyone is welcome to all events, Although some may be limited depending on the logistics of the event.
If you can go put attending, if you can’t then don’t respond or put not attending. Simple.
If you no show a limited attendance event without warning you will be at risk of being banned from the group for fairness.
A lot of effort is put into organising events & we often need to communicate numbers to venues beforehand.
Organisers may get in touch with you via meetup messages or event chat messaging to confirm attendance and consolidate rsvp's. If you consistently do not engage and then no show this can lead to removal from the group.
We are therefore going by the rule, 3 no shows and you will be banned from the group for 1 month. Any further no shows after that will be 2 months etc. If you no show or drop out 12 hours before a limited event that required a booking, you will receive 2 Strikes straight up.
LYP has a WhatsApp and if you are removed, you will be removed for there too.
Please also note that advertising or promoting other meetup groups in the WhatsApp will not be permitted and such messages will be deleted.
Membership fee:
There are currently no membership fee. That may change if the group grows to a certain size.
There may however be a small voluntary £1 charge per event in order to cover hosting costs (this shit ain’t free!) and to put back into the group for reservation costs, prizes, an Xmas party etc. This is non refundable.
You can bring cash on the day and give to the host if you can’t pay before the event.
Environment:
We want this group to be a fun, welcoming environment where everyone can be themselves.
Any type of aggressive behaviour/ harassment/ discrimination etc at an event will result in banishment from the group. Nobody should feel too uncomfortable to come to an event.
Please drop the leadership team a message if you have experienced any of the above.
