There are two options for closing down a Meetup:
A. Simply step down as Organizer (this allows other members to step up and run the Meetup)
or
B. Remove all the members from the Meetup. Then have Meetup Support close it down
Click here for instructions on how to step down as Organizer
To have your Meetup completely closed down:
- Set the Meetup so it will not accept new members
- Change the name of the Meetup to something like,"CLOSING DOWN THIS MEETUP"
