    Connection 

    • Are other people necessary to feel a sense of connection? Spiritually, emotionally, etc?
    • Ways we connect with others and build friendships/connections outside of amatonormativity? 

    I think this is a very good suggestion.

    Regarding dates, are there any particular dates that the usuals can't do? I could do weekend 2/3 April, 9/10 April, 23/24 April. We're due to do it 1PM BST this month (we'll do evening BST in May)

    Hi I've just realised this is the Liverpool group. I was directed to here by an admin. 

    I'll keep any eye out on the Liverpool aces and aros page for times and links. 😊

    Re setting up other meets, I'd be happy to help out from time to time for sure. 👍

    Topic wise, not sure what other people have suggested but I thought it might be cool to choose a topic such as communication, boundaries and QPRs 😊! 

     

    Oh, this is international and online. I also do a Liverpool social group but that is a different group :-).

    Hi, is there any online meet happening in April? 😊

    There will be. Anyone any suggestions of what you'd like to talk about next month? It'll be around 12noon or 1PM BST, though date tbc as yet.

    It goes without saying that if anyone wants to organise a similar discussion meet at another time that's suitable for other timezones that are outside what I can do then feel free (I'm more than happy to help you set it up - and it doesn't have to be a regular commitment, the more organisers the merrier as far as I'm concerned!)

    10 p.m. GMT is much better for me (2:00 ET zone where I'm located). What date in March?

    Hi @JackieD, you are more than welcome to organise at a later time without me if you'd like, and I'm more than happy to help you set it up. But if you are relying on me for the organisation 10PM is far too late for me even if it wasn't a work night, sorry!

    Next discussion: Sunday, March 13th, 7PM GMT (UK time)

    Topic: "Aromanticism and the LGBTQ+ Community"

    Topic: "Marriage abolition as aro/singlism activism"

    There's two links that could help with discussion, but if you want to share other articles etc that is fine.

    A late reminder. No issues if you haven't listened to the podcast or read the article. They were just suggestions. I know some people prefer podcasts, others prefer to read, others like to bring their own sources, and the most important in the mix is probably to bring our own life experience - so hopefully see some of you later :-)

    And here is a sheet for more detail than the Form. Any problems let me know. I will use both in deciding times. Of course it is also possible to organise something without me if you find my UK limitations too limiting (we all have our limitations so feel free to use the forms yourselves to organise if you'd like to).

    Link needed changing

    Hopefully from next month we'll have more variety in times. It's just I've got certain commitments in January at the moment, hence it's 1PM GMT this month. I might put together a google sheet for people to put their time zones in and best times. Obviously I can't cater for everyone every month, but it'll give me something to work from!

    Here is a form for people's best times. Please note all times are listed as GMT or BST (UK time) so please convert to your own timezone using the internet search engine of your choice.

    Were we talking about alternating it to be a little later on some months. Might be difficult this month because I have a commitment 5PM GMT until the end of January, but maybe could do later in February.

    Any preference of topic for this month? Any weekend dates that you seriously can't do?

    Sorry for being a little late in typing this, the Christmas/Yule season is a strange time to get around to things!

    I used to teach online classes and Google Meet did allow people to join without camera access, at least back in 2020, so I think it should still be okay?

    People have joined without video before, and I doubt Google will suddenly change it, so it should be ok.

    The next meeting will be December 19th 2021, 1PM GMT at the usual link (meet.google.com/qum-mmnd-xkw)

    Topic: Xmas/Yuletide/Group's 1 Year Anniversary Icebreaker Party (don't forget your own choice of snacks and drinks).

    Just to confirm, this will be 12noon GMT, not 1PM

    @roboticanary (Mike, I'm hoping I'm tagging the correct person), it's been asked on the Facebook group whether we could make it 12noon GMT instead?
