Membership / Guest
Try a Coffee Morning first
You do not need to be a member to walk into a Coffee Morning. Guests are welcome, and the first visit can be as low key as you like.
What happens
Members and guests gather over tea or coffee and talk. The room usually includes women who arrived in Sofia recently and women who have lived here for years. There is no formal presentation to sit through and no requirement to introduce yourself to the whole room.
Many Coffee Mornings include a small table of handmade gifts, vintage jewellery or cosmetic products arranged by the board. It is a chance to browse, start a conversation and learn about the club's wider calendar.
The guest policy
- A guest can join two Coffee Mornings and one other activity before deciding about membership.
- The guest fee is confirmed by the office for the current season and is paid at the door.
- The venue is confirmed in each month's notice, so ask the office before your first visit.
- No preparation is needed. Bring yourself and, if you like, a friend.
If you are nervous about arriving alone, write to the office in advance. The team can tell you who to look for and make sure someone welcomes you at the door.
After the visit
There is no pressure to join on the day. Take your time, meet a few people and see whether the club fits. When you are ready, the membership application takes you through the next step.
A first step for partners and families
The club also welcomes women who are settling into Sofia with a partner, a young family or a new job. The guest visit is a good way to find others in the same position.
