When attending our meetings and events, we ask that you abide by our Code of Conduct to ensure you and other attendees have a private, safe and welcoming environment. Attendees bringing guests to FFTM meetings and events are also expected to ensure that their guests are aware of this Code of Conduct.


Failure to do so may result in you and/or your guests being asked to leave or removed from a meeting or event, as well as being prevented from attending future meetings and events, pending further inquiry. For more information about our complaints procedure, download a copy of our full Code of Conduct, which you can find at the bottom of this page.
