For the adults
Assemblies.
A table, something to eat or drink, and other parents with whom to pass an evening. There are no introductions, no circles, and no going around the room.
Drinking alcohol is optional.Children sit this one out.

I. Our modest purpose
You have the evening.We have a table.
A club for parents who would like some friends.
Assemblies for adults. Expeditions with children.
Come on your own. You do not need to know anyone already.
* The parent. Not the child. Your children are socializing at a perfectly normal rate and are, in fact, warmly invited to every Expedition.It is you we are worried about.

III. The ordinary business
Two kinds of occasion.
Children warmly invited
Expeditions.
An outing with something to do and other parents to do it with. The children come along. Each notice gives the activity, meeting point, costs, and any booking requirements.
Consult the notice before setting out.
IV. For the record
Now the Society is more than a serious joke.
The wish for a few new friends turned out to be widely shared. The Society gives it a place and a time: a table, an evening, an outing, and some other parents who would like to be there.Stationery, name tags, and an unnecessary degree of administrative ceremony are also provided.
What sort of club is this?
This is not a support group and not a dating group.It is a club for parents who would like some friends.
Is this real?
Yes. The parents are real. The gatherings are real.The level of administrative ceremony is entirely unnecessary.
Who may present themselves?
Parents at every stage, including parents of grown children. Come on your own or with someone you know.Marital status is neither collected nor relevant.
What does it cost?
All interest registers are free. Montpelier gatherings remain free to attend; food and drinks are purchased separately. Planned paid chapters will state their costs before enrollment opens.Joining an interest register is not a paid membership.
What happens after I add my name?
The Society will email gathering notices and occasional news for your chosen chapter. An interest register records interest; it makes no commitment to attend or pay.You may unsubscribe at any time.
