You want to organise an event? That's great! Thank you for the initiative. :)
Send the group organiser (Ian) a message with the following information, so they can set up the event on the website. You will still be able to edit the details after publication.
date
duration
location
maximum number of people who can attend (if applicable)
(short) description for the event
If the location is private, I will mark it as such so it doesn't end up in Meetup's public database. If you don't want the exact address to be published, but rather have it be by approximation and message the attendees the exact address beforehand, that's absolutely fine!
If you could list some information about the location so people can determine if it is accessible to them, that would be great:
is it wheelchair accessible? (Including the toilets.)
what is the level of stimuli (low/medium/high) in terms of sound, (flashing) lights, smell, etc.
how is the air quality? (Is it smoke free? Pets with fur? Dusty?)
how easily can be be reached by public transport?
Ian has already collected information on a few locations in Amsterdam area in a Google spreadsheet here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/16ET78PFJZcB57M75riEqY3rx3zdEJlVypfu_DqEqHAQ/edit?usp=sharing
If, after organising events, you decide you would like to organise events on a more regular basis, we can change your membership role on Meetup to Event Organiser. This will give you the ability to create and publish the events on Meetup yourself!
When you stop organising events for a significant time, we'll change your membership role back to regular member. No hard feelings, though! Should you want to go back to organising events, we'll change your membership role right back to Event Organiser.
