About

Common interests. Good company.

We meet for the same reasons any community forms: to share something meaningful, together.

What we hold to

Consent first

Explicit, ongoing, and revocable. Always spoken — never assumed. Dedicated monitors at every play event, wearing neon green bands.

Discretion is a fundamental principle

We use nicknames internally to preserve anonymity. Mobile phone use and photography are not permitted at events.

Run by us, the members

A board of eleven members, elected annually at the general meeting. Volunteers handle everything from planning and operations, to communications and newsletters.

Since 2000.
