About us
This group is for WOMEN only, those seeking fun and new friendships and to explore everything that Sydney has to offer. Please join me and like minded ladies who share similar interests. This group is for women 50+, of all backgrounds, to make connections and have the opportunity to develop long lasting friendships.
Events will be held regularly around Sydney for brunch/lunch/dinner, drinks, art galleries, theatres, shows, movies, festivals, special events, day trips, wine tastings and escorted trips to France.
I have noticed recently however that Meetup members don't seem to be taking Meetup groups seriously and there are a huge number of no-shows, and even a disinterest in the group activities. I have a strict policy of managing your rsvp so please only join this group if you're likely to attend the meetups you've rsvp'd for. If you think you will not come to any events don't sign yourself up, just for the sake of signing up please.
If you can not make it to an event, you must change your booking 48 hours prior. Last minute cancellations will not be allowed as the other girls on the waiting list can't normally make it at the last minute, and the majority of restaurants are now asking for credit cards as guarantee and I will be charged for noshos. It is not fair to the organiser, to those on the waiting list and to the venue.
As I always give plenty of opportunity for anyone to cancel 1 day before when I send out a reminder email, here are our conditions :
1 nosho and you will be removed from the group
cancelling on the day you will be removed from the group unless you have a good reason
All members must have a clear profile photo and all must have a first name.
EVENT COST : If you are wondering what the 'unpaid' in red means next to your name, it is just the amount that is charged at each event, $5. No need to pre-pay it, it is collected from each person at the event. Please make sure you bring the exact money, a $5 note as organisers will not have change.
I'm open to everyone's suggestions for other meetup ideas and I look forward to meeting you at an event soon.

Christmas Lunch
Baba Ghanouj Parramatta, 51 Phillip St, Parramatta NSW 2150, Australia, Parramatta, AUHi Chiccies,
I know I say this every year, but where has the year gone! Here we are again and I'm organising Christmas lunch already! This year, I'm proposing a Lebanese restaurant in Parramatta called Baba Ghanouj. The place looks fabulous and perfect for a large Christmas group.I'm suggesting the $79 p/p Tayta Banquet includes Kebbeh nayeh, Lebanese bread, olives and pickles, baba ghanouj, hommous, labneh, tabouleh and fattouch, batata b kezebra and arnabit meéleh, lamb sambousek, mansaf rice, shish tawouk, lahem meshwi, kafta, garlic dip and baklava.
Payment & Surcharges
Final bills may be split a maximum of two ways only. A 10% service charge applies to groups of 14 or more. So please bring cash + the $5 fee. Also I will no longer accept to pay for others, so please bring along the cash.In addition this could be a great opportunity to catch the ferry to Parramatta Wharf from Circular Quay: The main city terminal where the F3 Parramatta River ferry service originates and departs.
Other ferry stops are
Barangaroo: A city-edge stop available along the F3 route shortly after leaving Circular Quay.
Milsons Point: An inner-harbour stop on the F3 route.
McMahons Point: Another inner-harbour stop serviced as the ferry heads upriver.After lunch I am proposing to those who would like to, to visit the new Powerhouse Museum, which is directly opposite the restaurant and is open till 9PM.
I hope to see you there,
best wishes,
