West End Thursday Happy Hour-Chop at the Waterfront in the Sun ☀️

Join us at Chop for our 4th visit in the last 12 months. Sit outside in the (hopefully) sunny afternoon on the lovey patio. Eat, drink, chat and watch the hordes of tourists walk past whilst we sit comfortably in one of their oversized outside booths.

I will be there at 1:50 to make sure we get the best table as well as meet any early arrivals. Whilst HH finishes at 5 we always seem to make drinks and food last a good 45 minutes longer.

Any and all are welcome as usual, whatever groups you may or may not belong to. Thursday Happy Hour is a very laid back laissez faire event so no drama or 3 strikes if you can’t make it on the day, just try and let me know if you can’t make it. Hope to see lots of you on Thursday!!

The below is always added to this events text and is intended for anyone new to this event and unsure whether to come and join us

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.
