Only for friendship
Hi @Asspaetel No one pays for a local guides meetup. If you are organizing a meetup in which local guides would spend some money you should try allowing the attendees know they would cover their own expenses during the meetup. If you decide to sponsor the meetup by your own self my providing cost for food or drinks at the Meetup it would be an at your expenses and no one will reimburse you for that. So you should be sure to know which you are doing. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask me
