NOTE: If you are interested in joining a Guild, please get in touch.

Some Guilds will require attendees to have a Vaccine Pass, but each group 

sets their own rules, depending on their numbers.

Some meeting places may have also changed, as hired venues may not

allow outside visitors under the pandemic's current traffic light settings.
