What we’re about
Want to meet meet new people in a friendly and welcoming environment? Want to be more social but feel anxious about going out alone? Maybe you are new to Melbourne? Then this is the group for you!
Why I started this group
Two years ago I remember going to my first Meetup and feeling terrified. I had just come out of a break up and several lockdowns and really wanted to make new friends. But the thought of going out alone and socialising had me breaking out in a cold sweat 😥! Fast forward to today, and I have met some amazing people, made some real, meaningful friendships and have had the best two years of my life. With this group I hope that I can pay-it-forward and provide this experience for other people.
What type of events?
Mostly evening events at bars and pubs around the city and inner city with some outdoor and daytime events when weather permits . Most events will be free, but some may be ticketed, so please read the instructions on the events pages. Age range is 25 - 55 with the average age around the mid-30s.
Some simple rules
- We are a friendly, welcoming, and above all, safe group and we want to make sure it stays that way. Any behaviour that is deemed to be rude, aggressive or not in the spirit of this group will see you swiftly ejected.
- If you have RSVP'd to an event but then you can't make it, no worries. No need to message us. BUT please DO change your RSVP status to 'Not Attending' so that if there is a Waiting List someone else can take your place.
- We are happy to receive your Meetup Messages if you want to ask questions or have any feedback about an event or the group. But please don't DM people that you haven't met. It's creepy and annoying. And this isn't a dating app. Besides, the whole point of Meetup is to go out and meet people, right?
- Please be aware that photos taken at our events may be used on the Meetup app or other Social Media pages. It is your responsibility to ensure the safety of any belongings that you bring to our events and any damage or loss is not the responsibility of either the Event Organiser or the Venue. By attending our events you agree to these conditions.
