Door closes at 1:30pm, if you need to arrive later than that, please connect with one of the organizers. Those coming from out of town please message if weather, road or vehicle issues is causing you a delay, we want you to be able to arrive safely.
There will be no classes or teachings at this event. It is a Rope Jam for people to hangout and practice the skills they have in a supportive environment. With that being said, there was a request by people willing to mentor others that they have the option too, so stickers for identifying those who are willing will be available for people to opt in to do this.
We will also be introducing little cones that people can choose to use for those who need a non verbal way to communicate personal space needs or visual reminders to ask to approach others while they are tying.
This space does amplify voices and sound, especially with the amount of people we have in the space, so if you are noise sensitive it is suggested to bring earplugs, loops, noise cancelling headphones.
The address will be sent out to those who have been approved to the event two days in advance. Attendees will be required to sign a release of liability form at the event and show a piece of id confirming your legal name. Deadnames will not be used and names on name tags will be the only said out loud. Liability waivers will be kept in a secure area for the 2 years of legal requirement and then shredded securely.
Please respect the residents in the neighborhood and the space. Anyone found to disrespect the neighborhood and facility will be asked to leave and be banned from future events.
This venue does cost money to use so we are asking for those who have the financial means to contribute to the venue cost ($50 per event). We would also like to make available some basic white nylon rope for community members to use (est $200 for 1000' of 1/4" solid braided Nylon Rope). So we will be looking for crowdfunding for that as well. If you are wanting to contribute please feel free to e-transfer a.shamrock.rope@gmail.com or cash can be accepted at the event. Any funds that are collected will be used solely for cost coverage of venues, community rope, bringing in speakers/educators and getting educational rope video subscriptions for the community to use. If the organizers ever move on, or there is a surplus and all needs of the group have been met, then any remaining funds will be passed on to support other local groups offering discussion groups, educational events, non-profits in town, etc. Financial accountability and transparency is always important and therefore financial tracking of dollars in to dollars out will be done and available to anyone participating in our rope community (contributors names will not be disclosed to maintain privacy when providing financial reports).
Please reach out with any questions or clarifications.
We are looking forward to some rope hangout time with community!
