MONTHLY MEETINGS

What is a typical agenda?
A typical meeting starts with Announcements of Guild or community happenings, followed by the main program. Typically, there is a Question and Answer period after the program.

Can I make an announcement, or have something announced?
All announcements are prepared ahead of time for monthly meetings. You can submit a request to have an announcement made to our Director of Programming. Inclusion or refusal of the item will be at the discretion of the Guild.

What if I arrive late to an in-person hybrid meeting?
Of course you are still welcome to join in, but please take a seat in as quiet and unobtrusive a way as possible so as not to disturb the meeting.

What if I have to leave early from an in-person hybrid meeting?
If intending to leave early, please take a seat near to the door so as to leave in as quiet and unobtrusive a way as possible. The same goes for unexpected situations that require unforeseen departure.

Are there guidelines to protect all members enjoyment of the meetings?
Yes, all meetings, events and workshops are governed by the Toronto Knitters Guild Rules of Conduct.
Members are asked to read and understand these rules. Members signal agreement to these terms when they purchase membership.

Are photos taken at Guild Meetings?
The Guild does have a photographer who takes photos at the meetings according to the Guild’s Photography Policy. If you prefer that your photo not be taken, please inform the photographer if approached.

I missed a meeting – is there any way to see it after the fact?
The Guild records all virtual and hybrid meetings and the videos are posted to our Membership Hub on our website.
