Our Tenets
Being part of Keep Calm, whether joining a session or running one, means living by a few simple principles.
As a Member
- 1.
Reliable - Show up if you commit, give notice if you can't.
- 2.
Inclusive - Welcome newcomers, be patient with every skill level.
- 3.
Respectful - Assume good intentions, listen, build people up.
- 4.
Here for fun, not ego - Community over competition or drama.
- 5.
Non-commercial spirit - The group isn't a marketplace - leave promotion out of it.
As an Organiser
All of the above, plus:
- 1.
Volunteer, not staff - No pay, no exemption from the rules, just genuine care for your sport.
- 2.
Consistent - Your sport is covered most weeks, with your fellow organisers.
- 3.
Responsive - Answer WhatsApp when you can, especially near event day.
- 4.
Fair under pressure - Hear all sides, don't pre-judge, act proportionately.
- 5.
Team player - Respect fellow organisers' and admins' calls, even ones you'd have made differently.
- 6.
Hands off smoothly - The community belongs to everyone, not any one organiser.
