RSVP Attendance Policy

Hi members! There have been some concerns regarding RSVPs & attendance at our events.

Unfortunately in the recent past we’ve had members who responded “YES” to the Meetup event RSVP not showing up; this leaves folks on the wait list (typically 8-10 more people on said list!) out in the cold 🙁

Due to limited space at the venue & the consistent waiting list, we kindly request your cooperation in ensuring that those who want to attend our EGL game nights are able to do so.

To that end, effective Jan 2025 we have implemented the following attendance policy:

  • Members who RSVP but do not attend (no-show) will receive -1 point
  • Members who RSVP and do attend will receive +1 point

For example, if Johnny RSVPs for 3 meetups but only attends 1, they will receive (-1) + (-1) + (+1) = -1 point.

Members who reach -2 points will receive a warning, and those who reach -3 points may be banned from the group.

Please ensure you check in with the host upon arrival at future events, so that your attendance can be marked.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Monday game nights – RSVP policy

Hi folks – this is a gentle reminder – IF you are attending a Monday game night with EGL – to please ensure you RSVP for the event via the Meetup event page.

Further, if you have RSVP’d yes but find you can’t attend, please PLEASE change your response to a NO so that folks on the waitlist can attend.

Thankfully, game nights have become very popular (yay!), so much so that we’ve regularly got a full house. However, we are limited by the amount of table space available at the venue, hence the cap on attendees.

We’d love to see you around the table and don’t wish to turn anyone away … but in the interest of equity – if the venue is full on a given night and there’s limited seats – then please understand that we have to give precedence to guests who a) have a “yes” RSVP and b) are present within 15m of the event start time.

As ever, if you have any questions or concerns, contact us via our meetup page.
