Licensed events need to be co-ordinated by a current member, who has both been inducted and has shadowed another similar event.
If you've not been inducted recently, you'll need to come to an induction again since we've changed some of the processes, requirements and guidelines with the new license. Inductions are usually held on second and fourth Thursdays (evenings) but we can arrange them around you if necessary.
We currently don't take bookings from individual bands, just promoters (wishing to take on doing an event as-a-whole). If you're looking to organise a gig in Leeds for your band, we recommend you get in touch with one of the many promoters and collectives in Leeds.

We are in the process of putting together an 'events collective' to arrange to accommodate travelling bands, and arrange 'in house' events.

Publicity
You need to put some information about membership requirements on your publicity. We recommend something like:
“The Common Place is a members club. Guests must be introduced by a member at the door. Joining The Common Place costs just £2 per year, you can do it in a number of ways (but it takes a minimum of 48 hours for your membership to be processed), see our website for details. http://www.thecommonplace.org.uk/membership.html”
