======Welcome====== This site is the focal point for all [[http://www.faqs.org/faqs/polyamory/faq/|polyamory]] related activities in the North West of England. =====What we do===== We hold regular poly meets, where we talk about our relationships, families, jobs and lives. A lot of the time, we also talk about other random things like cars, punctuation, a party someone went to, bicycles or whatever else is on our minds at the time. Sometimes, but not always, we even talk about sex and sexuality, which means our conversations might not be suitable for children to hear. But it's never the main topic of conversation. =====When we do it===== The second Saturday of every month, from 2pm to 5pm. The next meet is on the 13th of September, 2008. (if this date is out-of-date, its because I sometimes forget to update it, please feel free to email me and check) =====Where we do it===== We meet really close to Manchester Piccadilly railway station at Cafe Nero. It's on Station Approach, about 100m from the main station entrance. We try to meet at the back of the ground floor, if the tables there are free; look out for the picture of a parrot on the table. If it's busy, we might move upstairs instead. Newcomers would be well advised to check upstairs, especially if they arrive later in the day, as we often move upstairs (quieter) after about 3:30pm) The postcode of the cafe is M60 7LP. ======Frequently Asked Questions====== =====Are you friendly?===== Yes! We're a small group and always make an extra effort to make sure new people feel welcomed and comfortable. If you think you might be poly then you are welcome to come up to our table, ask "Are you here for the Poly meet?" and have a cup of coffee with us. We'd like that. =====Should I email first?===== You are welcome to just turn up, although we always like it when you say "hi" first too. =====What time should I come if I'm new?===== You're welcome to come any time from 2pm until 5pm. There's usually at least one of us there by 2pm, so we should have the picture of the parrot on the table by then! =====Where can I find out more?===== There are a number of useful resources [[resources|here]] ======Contact====== We don't have our own mailing list, however the best places for ANY poly folk in the UK (NW or otherwise) to be, are the [[http://bi.org/uk-poly/|uk-poly mailing list]] and [[http://www.uk-poly.net/|uk-poly forums]]. The two sites are unrelated, despite their similar names. If anyone has specific queries about upcoming meets, please send a message to pocketdragon (at) f2s (dot) com, and I will endeavour to help you.
