Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: Come to the third Thursday guild meeting at St. James School, or join the free virtual Bee Chat on a first Tuesday..
You can just show up.
What to expect
Monthly meetings run from 7 to 9 pm on the third Thursday at St. James School, and many are listed as hybrid so you can join online. Some meetings have a named speaker, and the Bee Chat is a free virtual evening on some first Tuesdays. The classes page listed no events when checked on 2026-10-08, so a beginner class is not scheduled right now.
Tips for your first visit
- Use the RSVP link on the event listing, since each meeting has one.
- Check the listing for whether you can join online, because meetings are listed as hybrid.
- Arrive for the 7 pm start, since listings run until 9 pm.
Newcomer welcome
Fine for newcomers, but you may need to speak up (3 out of 5). Why we say this: Meetings and Bee Chats are listed as free and public, with a clear membership page, but the site does not say beginners are welcome..
