Meetings
As a social gathering it is extremely important that every member and guest has the best possible experience.
Therefore there are 3 simple lines of guidance
- Be respectful of others and their opinions and endeavour not to talk over speakers.
- Be kind, courteous and supportive of other artists and do your best to engage with other members
- please leave the premises in the same or better condition as it was when you arrived.
