West End SATURDAY Happy Hour - for those who have a real job during the week

Our first weekend Happy Hour of the year! So many of you can’t attend during the week and have asked for a weekend event because you have a real grown up job Monday to Friday.

We’ve been to The Keg before and go again because they looked after us so well previously. They also don’t insist on the drama of paying a deposit or going through their events team with numerous restrictions on what we can and can’t do!!

They had two long tables next to each other for us last time. It was a perfect set up that allowed us to move around between friends and little groups. There is the added bonus for those who love a freebie of being given a sizeable free bred and butter plate on arrival. $6 beer, $7.50 decent wine and good options on the menu that pleased previously. Guests are welcome and encouraged. We had just over 30 people last time and the venue can accommodate more if needed.

As usual, if you are not a member of this group yet but want to attend before joining just message me directly

For those new to this event and/or this group let me copy and paste from previous event text to give you all the comfort you need if you are not too sure if you want to come along as the number of new members continues to grow rapidly.

We are a very friendly and welcoming bunch so no need to be nervous about coming along for the first time. A few pointers for potential newbies

If this is the first time you’ve seen this event or you’ve always wanted to come but were a little hesitant to join us, we are very genuinely a group of easy going people who will ensure any newcomers are more than welcome and made to feel comfortable and at home as soon as you sit down. Talk as much or as little as you want. This isn’t about drinking solidly for 3 hours of happy hour bargain prices, just a gathering of lovely people who love good company and $6 glasses of wine and/or beer. Attending an event for the first time can be like your first day at a new school, standing on the edge of the playground waiting for eye contact. We will welcome you with open arms to come and join us on the swings or in the sandbox as soon as we meet you.

There are hardly any rules tor the Happy Hour event. Join coffee or drinks only. Join both. Turn up whenever you want. Wear whatever you want. Turn up with whomever you want. Latecomers are always welcomed, never judged. No 7 strikes and you’re out. It’s a weekday late afternoon event and life happens, just let me know if you can’t make it so we don’t have to save a seat for you. Bring a guest. Be a guest only and message me directly if you are not yet a member of the group but would like to try first before you buy. I remember the tentative terror of attending my first event!!

The only rule is please steer clear of any and all strong political views.

I, and all in the group, very much look forward to meeting and welcoming new people into what is really a lovely, comfortable and fun way to spend a Thursday afternoon.
