Application
Membership is by application.
Short. Read by one person. Answered once.
01The way in
Four steps, no short cut.
One writes
A name and an email address are enough. Those who wish may say which city they write from, which place calls them and how they came to be here.
It is read
One person reads it. All of it, unhurried.
It is answered
By email, once, signed with a person's name.
One talks
If it makes sense on both sides. Everything else is dealt with there, not here.
02What is read
What counts, and what does not.
The place
It counts to know why that one, and not another.
The return
It counts to want to come back. Passing through is not the same.
The others
It counts to know how to share a beach without taking it over.
What does not count
Surname, title, who made the introduction. It is read, and one moves on.
03Application
Apply
A name and an email address are enough. What is written stays between the one who writes and the one who reads.
04Questions
What people tend to ask.
And the terms?
They are presented in person, to those whose application leads that far. They are not kept on a page.
Is an introduction required?
No. An introduction is read alongside, and does not decide. Those who know nobody write in just the same way.
Who else is there?
That is not disclosed. It holds for everyone, including the one asking.
How long does the answer take?
No date is published. It comes by email, from a person, once.
Can one get to know it beforehand?
The places are public and are described under Places, with facts anyone can check. The rest comes after the answer.
Must one choose a place, or live near one?
No. Some know from the first line, and some find out later. And one belongs from wherever one lives.
And the data of those who write?
They are used to answer, and for nothing else. They are deleted on request, as set out under Privacy.
