Guidelines for Meets
Disclaimer
All Tangent21 "meets" are informal meetings of members and staff.
Tangent21 accepts no responsibility whatsoever for:
- the safety of anyone attending a meet
- any events occurring on a meet.
- any events occuring as a direct or indirect result of attending a meet.
Tangent21 meets can be arranged by staff or members, and cover a range of activities, from attending organised conventions, card fayres, laser quest, to 10 pin bowling. Pubs and restaurants are regular features on our meets.
Getting There
Members are responsible for making their own arrangements to get to and from the meet.
Sometimes members will offer/ask for lifts, or suggest meeting other members in transit, for example on the same train. These arrangements are usually posted in the meets forum near the date of the meet. So check back, or even better post your own request if you have one! If you need help, don't forget you can always email us on help@tangent21.com or email the host assigned to you when you registered.
Acceptable Behaviour
Tangent21 has worked to maintain relationships with certain venues that are used for meets. It is important that the owners of these bars/restaurants/hotels etc continue to see Tangent21 members as valuable customers so that we will be able to use these venues in the future.
Members are responsible for meeting any event specific requirements, such as dress code or age limit.
Members who do not behave appropriately on a meet risk having their membership to Tangent21 terminated.
Advice for Parents/Guardians
Guidelines for meets are usually posted in the meets forum. This will include an address and time for a meeting point and a brief description of what we intend to do during the meet (i.e. bowling, go to a bar or a restaurant and so on).
If you would like to speak to a staff member regarding the meet, please email help@tangent21.com or the host that was assigned to your son or daughter when they registered with the site. They provide you with contact details.
We can also arrange for you to contact the parents of members who have attended meets with their children in the past. Please mention this in your email if you feel this would set your mind at rest.
Members are more than welcome to bring along parents or any other family members to meets!
Adult members with children are welcome to bring them along to meets that are suitable for families.
