A Glass of Sparkling-Ladies 40+

This group is for females only who need a wingwoman, a friend, an afternoon bevvy or a girls night out.

I am inviting sensible fun loving women 40+ to become part of a friendly group where we can simply meet and chat over a glass of sparkling, a beer, a juice or a coffee. A place where we can develop friendships, have some adventures, and make memories.

Events will be held several times each month, and will include wine bars, restaurants, lunch/brunch, degustations, movie nights,High Tea, and perhaps some festivals-e.g.Jazz or Opera in the domain, a whale watching cruise, Vivid, Sculpture by the Sea,Night Noodle markets, Fund-raising events, live music.

Some events will be seasonal e.g. Rooftops bars, Open Air restaurants, a coastal walk, in Spring and Summer , and when the weather is cold and wet more events will be indoors.
And there may even be a few crazy events like flying trapeze school?an obstacle course? fast car driving?fancy dress? 
The suggestion box is always open for ideas/recommendations. Im always happy to have someone step in and host an event.

Some events will be free, and some will be pay on RSVP to secure your spot.

There is a membership fee of $45 payable on/ after your 1st event, but before your 2nd event as collecting a gold coin, or a $5 note, at each event is not my cup of tea.
Renewals each year after are $35.
Membership runs from March to February each year as this makes it easier for me .
All funds go towards organiser subscription fees/Meetup fees (which have been $175 every 6 months but have jumped substantially to $288 as of Feb 2025) , group booking fees at functions, credit card fees etc. Any surplus monies from membership fees is spent on our Christmas Party or Birthday Party in way of venue hire or food or bar tab etc. Once all outgoings have been paid I put all membership fees back into the group.

Please keep your rsvp's up to date. We do have a cancellation fee in place for most events.
3 no-shows will result in you being removed from the group.

All members are expected to be fully vaccinated, to practise good hygiene, and to adhere to Covid-19 safety guidelines at all events.

Please ensure your photo is of yourself and not a cartoon character or image. Or if you need an image for privacy reasons pls contact me and we'll go from there.
