Each of these days, we will be meeting at Kirkstall Valley Farm at 11am. Here is the pin for the sauna site: The code for the gate is 1210. They will provide all the tools necessary. If you have any gardening gloves that would be useful! Bring sturdy footwear, weather appropriate clothes, and yourself. Bring plenty of water and a raincoat. On some of the days we may fire up the sauna, so bring your swimwear and two towels just in case if you fancy it. If you are a carpenter, DIY expert, or have other skills and tools, feel free to bring them with you! The area activator will not be at this session, but you can go & say you're from GoodGym. Please text Laura on & let me know how the session went, include a picture if you can. Please bring gardening gloves to the session if you have them.
Otley Area Meetup provides local events for local people and attempts to fill a gap between the successful groups that surround us in Ilkley, Harrogate and Leeds. We are a new group and it will take some time to build momentum. Please support us by attending events! We welcome suggestions and hosts for one-off or regular events. If you have a suggestion, please contact a member of the leadership team using Meetup messages, or start a discussion on the discussion board. Membership fee This is a non-profit group, run by local volunteers for the benefit of local members. To cover the meet up fees a membership fee of £10 per calender year is charged and and excess monies are donated to the British Heart Foundation charity. Monies received will be documented and evidence of this will be available upon request. Some events may require a deposit payable to the event venue. This deposit does not go toward running this group and will usually be deducted from your bill at the venue itself, e.g. a restaurant. The event host will explain the reason for a deposit in the event description and provide payment instructions. Deposits are non-refundable, except by arrangement with the event venue and event host.
