Friends For Fun 45+ Brisbane Northside

We are an in person supportive friendship social group for those aged over 45 working or retired living in Brisbane Mid Northside Area. After work and family needs decline, many feel lonely and disconnected, yet a regular social outing among peers increases happiness levels immensely and provides a sense of belonging, community and friendship. Find out all the fun things there are to do, by mixing with like minded peers sharing experiences.

Confidence is a muscle. It grows with use. Don't just join, participate!
Socializing is easy when you practice regularly, and becomes increasingly challenging and anxious when you stay home. Our members are welcoming and supportive. We've all been there, but you are only new once - so make that leap and come along.

Attend 3 events to feel familiar. Friends are nice people you don't know until you meet them 'in person'. Aim to talk to everyone at the event so they get to know you, and you them. The first event is the hardest, but you only do that once.

We need to meet 3 times before we, feel comfortable having a closer conversation and it can be surprising to discover our similar life experiences. This group has varied activities: eat, drink, bowl, kayak, walk, camp, theatre, games, etc. Members can always message us to add events and new hosts are welcome to host activities they like.
We are volunteers so if things don't go to plan occasionally - that's life - just enjoy it!

RULES: Members join events at own risk, organizer holds no liability personal or monetary if a price changes. Organizers will remove members at their discretion e.g.:

• Predatory or undesirable behavior. if you form a bond with someone good luck to you, but This is definitely NOT a dating, swingers, or hookup site.
• Mobiles to stay out of sight except for photographs or calendar.
• Image must be Headshot taken within last 10 years so we can recognize you.
• Don't RSVP unless you will attend. Multiple RSVP then cancelling, will be removed from the group
• Do update RSVP from 'going' to 'not going' at least 48 hours before the event*(as both the above actions prevent others getting a place in time to plan their attendance.)*
• Non-participation. Attending less than 6 events per year
• Residing outside the Brisbane North middle catchment area.

WARNING: There are a lot of lonely, nice people, in meetup, stich, and many other social groups I welcome them all, thus you may find non-meetup group friends at activities from time to time. I hope you join in any way for fun times and you're welcome to bring a friend.
