 Whilst Members are not required to attend every week it is expected that they should, unless particular circumstances occur such as: business demands, illness of oneself or children or absent on holidays.

Meeting Minds takes into consideration the arrangement the restaurant/cafe has made in order to provide the venue at such an early time. There is an agreement that Meeting Minds will provide a regular number of members to each meeting, in order for it to be viable. Should the numbers drop too low, the meeting will not occur and the restaurant/cafe will be advised in sufficient time.

There is a requirement that notification of absence is made prior to 5pm the day before the meeting (unless one of the above is unforeseen).

Policies may be subject to change.
