Q1) Is it possible to have a "taster" of the group before joining?

A1) Yes, after you register an interest in joining Cascade, you will be sent a Welcome pack. Part of which is a copy of our current Newsletter, containing events for the next 4/6 weeks. We strongly encourage potential new members to try up to 3 different events before joining.

Q2) What sort of people join Cascade?

A2) Anyone who is single can join, most members are aged 40+ and come from many diverse backgrounds, as our events are spread all over Greater Manchester and beyond, some form of transport is desirable, in order to gain maximum benefit.

Q3) Is hosting an event compulsory?

A3) Hosting is not compulsory, in fact in your first year it is entirely optional, after that we do encourage members to host at least one event per year.

Q4) Do I have to host an event on my own?

A4) No, you can organise an event with another member.

Q5) Why do we have to book early?

A5) As soon as the host starts to receive firm bookings for their event, it gives them the confidence to continue. Obviously we use the services of a lot of small businesses that in turn need adequate warning if we cannot fulfil a provisional booking. There is nothing worse than a flurry of bookings arriving after the "cut-off" date by which time the host may have decided to cancel.

Q6) How much does it cost to join?

A6) Membership fees are a one off £25.00 non-returnable Registration Fee, plus the annual Membership Fee of £24.00 (based on a sliding scale of the number of months left to the end the year as a percentage of £24.00).

Q7) Does the club have rules?

A7) Yes - these are available on request.

Q8) How do I find out events taking place?

A8) A monthly programme of events is distributed to all of our members.
