Welcome! to Friends For Fun 45+ Brisbane Northside.
RSVP to join an event, waitlist if it’s full. If someone drops out you get a place. Non-ticketed events if we see a waitlist places can increase before the date.
Be Fair DON’T stop others getting a place. Only RSVP what you’re sure you will attend. Membership cancels automatically if you RSVP then don’t attend or show up three times.

Social Tips for MAKING FRIENDS AT OUR EVENTS: Everyone's life is interesting, let them share theirs with you rather than bombard them with every detail of yours.
• NO MOBILES (other than to show a pic or take a pic) people want to talk with company present don’t offend by using your mobile.
• Be curious: ask open questions that need more than one word or yes/no answers- about likes, life, things that fill their day, favourite movies, books, experiences, thing they enjoyed most recently etc.
• Be helpful: answer with more than one-word, add context, examples, or content to help build conversation from.
• Be positive. Everyone has life negatives, 90% of marriage divorce, avoid downloading misfortune. If you know somewhere nice/fun/good value share knowledge.
• Be polite SHARE conversation space- let them speak an equal amount. Unless asked, avoid lengthy monologues about self or one topic. Listening to a selfish conversationalist isn’t fun. If trapped with one, introduce new topics, more people, eat, discretely move away.
• Be friendly, swap seats, move around, challenge yourself to introduce yourself and talk to everyone at the event.
• Be reliable - if people see you RSVP and know you turn up, they’ll come to speak with you again. Avoid RSVP’ing then dropping out, people hesitate to bother with you.
• Use these tips you'll soon feel you belong. Challenge yourself to speak to every attendee for 5 minutes at all events. You'll make their day and yours!
Hope to meet soon Marg!
