What a partner listing actually contains
If your hall, library, café or garden centre already runs a regular circle for older adults, the directory entry is built from plain, checkable facts. No ranking, no placement fee, no promise about how many people will walk through the door.
The details we ask for
Venue name, suburb, the days and times the group meets, and a phone number a reader can actually reach. Access notes matter as much as the address: step-free entry, a nearby bus or train stop, parking, or a short walk from the car. If a group asks members to bring their own materials or chip in for tea, that line goes in too.
How a suggestion is checked
A submission arrives with the organiser's name, the suburb, the activity type and the meeting details. Before anything is published, the team reads it against the venue and the contact number, and asks a follow-up question if a time or an entrance is unclear. Nothing goes live on the strength of a single line.
What stays with the organiser
The directory does not take bookings, hold places or collect payment. It does not create accounts for venues or members. A listing points a reader toward a real-world group; the group itself decides who joins, when it meets and how it runs. If a circle pauses for a season, the entry is updated or taken down rather than left to mislead.
Keeping an entry honest
Times shift, halls close for repairs, a phone number changes hands. Partners are asked to flag any change so the listing stays accurate, and a short note about a group you attend helps confirm the details are current. The aim is simple: a reader should be able to read an entry, phone ahead, and know what to expect on the day.
If you run a walking group, hobby circle, craft morning, book exchange, volunteer network or board game afternoon and would like it listed, send the details through the contact page. Include the venue, the suburb, the meeting times and a number for enquiries, and confirm the group is happy to appear publicly.
