If you are interested in hosting a meet-up, please follow these steps for creating it. This will keep the board easy to read and follow. This will also prevent people from missing out on a meet-up in case it was posted in one long thread.
Your Subject title should be easy to read in an instant. An example of a title could be "Photo Shoot Meet-up; Central Park NYC; Jan 25 2014" this tells the what, the where, and the when. You can change the date read-out for what ever is common in your area (since the UK and US use a different date format). You can then get creative in the post itself with details and arrangements. You can always edit your date and place in the title, just be sure to put it in the post itself as an edit in Bold. If you have a Facebook page for your local group, be sure to post that in the details as well. Sometimes things can be posted in one spot, but not another, so this will help keep everyone who is interested informed.
Example:
SUBJECT LINE: Photo Shoot Meet-up; Central Park NYC; Jan 25 2014
THREAD CONTENT:
What: Photo Shoot meet-up for NYC area whovians
Where: Central Park, Bethesda Terrace by the Angels Fountain (Don't Blink!)
When: Jan 25 at 3pm
Details: It's going to be cold, it is January after all, so think warm costumes! Bring a camera and lets take some pictures! If this date doesn't work, we can always take a vote for the best date option. Maybe we'll all go to the Way Station after for some warming libations (21 and over only please).
EDIT: Date changed to February 1st!
***This is when you would edit the date in the subject as well as the Thread to keep people updated in case of changes. Nothing is worse than showing up to an event and realizing the date/time changed. Your new thread and title should look as it does below...

THREAD:

When: Feb 1 at 2pm

EDIT: Date changed from Jan 25th to February 1st! Please see new details!
***Once your meet-up is over and was a success, post your photos and what not in the thread for all to see. Maybe people missed out or others from afar want to see what your group was up to. We all love photos! Your thread will then be moved to the "Past Events" board to keep the "Meet-ups" board from becoming cluttered with old meet-ups.
