The Strangers & Friends Society

A beautiful way to start a new week (or end a weekend) - connecting with great people around some fab food. I will be holding this event fairly regularly depending on how this first one goes.

If you register for this event you will need to be able to really commit to the date and have paid the $10 annual admin fee as previously indicated. New people won't know about this so here are the details:
This fee helps cover the $600 annual cost of using the MeetUp platform that is incurred by group administrators/hosts. This is paid to;
Account Name: Caroline Lindsay
Account Number: 102362120
Account BSB: 805050

I keep a register of who has paid (thanks to those who have so far). If you have not paid before you register, I will remove your name so someone on the waitlist who has paid can attend. I'm really grateful that you understand.

I'm really looking forward to connecting and helping make 2026 a year of new friendships and experiences.

This is a very special evening if you;

1. Haven't had a valentines dinner for years
2. Would like to meet new people and make new friends
3. Are willing to participate fully
4. Can actually commit to the date and not pull out

This is a dinner with a difference. No, it's not a speed dating night. It's about meeting nice strangers for dinner and sharing the 4 things or people you love most in the world over the course of your life. Whether it's experiences you loved, people you've loved, things you have been given or bought that you love and are meaningful for you. We'll go around the table and everyone gets a time to share their 4 top loves.
Kind of different? Yes. A bit silly? Absolutely. But why the heck not, I say!!!

Let's enjoy some great food and conversation with gorgeous views over the city. Time for a good old chin wag! Please only RSVP if you have:
1 - paid the annual admin fee
2 - can truly commit to this as I have had to pay a deposit to secure the booking.

If you are new and don't know about the annual admin fee here are the details:

Thanks for understanding and I'll soon go through all the names on the list and remove anyone who is not really interested in paying the fee. That's absolutely no problem at all - we wish you well.

We are meeting at the Victoria Park Social Club. Bring your favourite book and tell us about it at this lovely afternoon tea gathering. This is a great time to hear from each person attending about the book they most love or are reading at the moment, what's involved in the story and whether they'd recommend it. I love these events. It's not a book club because many of us don't need another regular commitment. It's just a time to hear and share around good stories. I've booked indoor seating as it may be hot on that day.

If you RSVP to this event please ensure you do attend as we usually have a waitlist for this one. I've booked a table for the right amount and we don't want to let the venue down so please be a person of your word for this one.
And remember, I will need to remove your RSVP if you have not previously paid the $10 annual admin fee for the group. If you haven't already paid, here are the details for a bank transfer:

Thanks and I'll look forward to seeing you there.
