Regular/Repeating Events

Dinners usually happen on the third Saturday of every month. Brunches, when they happen, usually occur on the third Sunday. Reservations will try to be made. If the restaurant

• Does not accept reservations,
  • the sponsor will describe him/herself before the event so he/she can be recognized and
  • everyone will meet at the restaurant at the specified time.
  • Be sure to look both inside and outside the restaurant to find the sponsor.
  • Please try to be punctual.
• Accepts reservations,
  • a reservation will attempted to be made for the specified time.
  • If the restaurant cannot accommodate everyone at a particular time, the exact time may change and all attendees will be alerted via telephone.
  • Please try to be punctual after a final time has been decided.

Attending diners usually wait up to 15 minutes for latecomers before ordering.

 

Attending An Event/Activity

• Members, along with a guest, may attend any event/activity.
• To participate in any event/activity, please RSVP at least two days before the event by supplying:
  1. your name,
  2. phone number,
  3. and which event you would like to attend
  to the sponsor of the event.
• All attendees will be contacted if the activity/event time changes for any reason.
• If you need to cancel, please be courteous and let the sponsor know as soon as you know.
• Events usually happen on-time. The sponsor of an event may choose to wait some period of time for latecomers before continuing with the activity. For example, for a hiking event, the sponsor may choose to wait up to 15 minutes for latecomers before embarking on the hike.
• Members may bring a guest to any activity. A guest may be a parent ('though, of course, their offspring aren't allowed).
• Be sure to review the Legal section below.

Legal

• Neither Boston No Kidding! nor No Kidding! is responsible for any injuries, psychological or otherwise, or deaths due to attending or participating in events or activities sponsored by Boston No Kidding! or any of its members.
• All attendees are encouraged to review their insurance policy before participating in an event or activity. And, take care!

Sponsoring Your Own Event/Activity

Sponsoring is the only way events/activities happen. Since it is so easy, diversifies event locations (e.g., suburbs outside of Boston), and makes the club much more interesting to more people, every member is encouraged to sponsor as many events as she/he is able to. Sponsoring your own event is very easy. All you have to do is pick:

1. an activity that you enjoy
2. a date convenient for you
3. a time convenient for you
4. and a place convenient for you

•   to Boston No Kidding! (see below for contact info)
•   or directly to the activities mailing list (see above for mailing list info)

Before sponsoring an event, you might consider posting an inquiry to evaluate interest in your event beforehand. This may help you to plan your event thoroughly. (See above about Yahoo Group polls.)
