What we’re about

An 'in person' social group for over 45s Brisbane Northside: meet new people, form friendships enjoy life. In today's fake news society a traditional sense of supportive community has vanished, after work and family needs decline, many feel lonely and disconnected, yet a regular social outing among peers increases happiness levels immensely.(younger friends of members are welcome too please message us their name so we know to approve their request to join when we see it.)

We all fall out of practice at socializing, but attend 3 events and you'll soon see familiar faces and be a familiar face to others. Friends are nice people you don't know until you meet them 'in person'.
The sooner you attend an event, the sooner you're social life will change. Don't just think about it - Do it! don't attend one event and think 'This isn't for me', try a different event or one with different people.
We don't know much about people until we've met them 3 times and it can be surprising what commonalities occur.
We try for variety: eat, drink, music, books, art, walks, board games, mini golf, pickle ball, barefoot bowl, 10 pin bowl, dance, kayak, camping, etc. If a member hears of something enjoyable, we'll add it to our events list for others to share.

We are volunteers so if things don't go to plan occasionally - that's life - just enjoy it!

PS: Your responses to membership questions are only viewable by Group & Event Organizers, not the general public.

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.:

  • Using mobiles at events for other than photographs.
  • No headshot image taken within last 10 years so we can recognize you.
  • Not updating RSVP from 'going' to 'not going' at least 48 hours before the event
  • Repeated RSVP'ing then cancelling (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
  • Live outside the catchment area.
  • Predatory or undesirable behavior. if you form a bond with someone good luck to you, but This is not a dating, swingers, or hookup site.

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.
