55 plus Good Times

About Us:     55 plus Good Times

1.     This Meetup Group is for mostly single people who are 50 and over with the majority being in the 60’s age bracket, but we are all young at heart and YES we all love ‘Good Times’.

2.     Our group is purposely kept to a limited number of members as we believe in quality over quantity.  Please be aware that we do not automatically accept every application nor do we have to provide a reason if you are declined.

3.     We organise and/or post events such as dinners, lunches, dancing, live music and musical events, theatre/shows, dance classes, movie nights, quiz/trivia nights, festivals and special events, day trips and more.

4.     We are looking for active members who want to regularly attend and  enjoy a variety of events, so if you are not able to do this, we may not be the right Meetup Group for you as we do have attendance requirements.

5.     We do have Guidelines in place to keep our group running smoothly. Our aim is for all members to enjoy themselves in a safe and happy environment at our events and most of all we want you to have fun!

PLEASE READ OUR GUIDELINES BEFORE APPLYING.

New Members applying to join must adhere to the following:

6.     A recent, CLEAR PROFILE PICTURE of yourself only (no other people/animals) is to be included and no sunglasses or hats.  This enables us to identify you when you attend events.  We also require all members to provide their Given Name and their Last Name or initial/s in their PROFILE NAME. If this is not done you will will automatically be Declined.  Our group is a Private Group and only members can see your Profile Picture.

7.     So that we know who you are we need to meet you.

8.     Please be aware this is not a dating group. Also, any inappropriate behaviour of any kind will not be tolerated and you will be removed from the group with your membership fee (if paid) forfeited.

9.     Therefore a requirement is, that you will need to attend a HOSTED EVENT held within one month of you joining, (make sure that the event has an Event Host).   If you do not attend a Hosted Event within one month of joining, you will be removed from the group.  

10.    It is your responsibility to ensure that you make yourself known to the Event Host at the attendance of your first Hosted Event and pay the $5 membership fee.  This payment will not be taken until we have met you. The $5 membership is then renewed each May.

11.    The one month 'joining time frame' will allow you, the potential member to view our range of events and then ascertain if our group will be the “right fit” for you.
