Join and take part in groups

A group is a community’s home on GatherEasy: a running club, a book club, a meetup series, a venue’s programme. Groups have members, a calendar of events, a group chat and a page anyone can visit.

Find a group

Explore → Groups lists groups, including Suggested Groups. Use the search button to find one by name.
An event page shows the group that runs it under the title (“By group”). Choose the name to open the group.
Someone can share a group’s link with you.

A group page shows the group’s members, city and rating. The rating averages attendee feedback on the events the group has hosted, with the number of ratings.

Join a group

Open the group and choose Join group. What happens next depends on the group:

Public and Unlisted groups: you join straight away. Some groups review new members first. Your request waits until a manager approves it.
Invite Only groups: you can only join with an invitation from the group’s managers. Invitations arrive as notifications.

Members get notified when the group publishes a new event.

Group sections

Every member sees these tabs:

About: what the group is about.
Events: the group’s calendar of upcoming and past events, as a list or a calendar. See The group calendar.
Members: who’s in the group and their role.

Owners and admins see more tabs for running the group. See Create and manage a group.

Group chat

Members can choose Group chat on the group page to talk to everyone in the group. See Chats.

Use the share button on the group page to share it, or Copy group link.

Leave a group

Open the group and choose Leave group. If you’re the group’s owner, you need to transfer ownership before you can leave.
