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 waitlisted we can increase bookings before the event.
DON’T stop others getting a place. Only RSVP what you’re sure you will attend. Membership cancels if you RSVP and don't attend 3 times.

HOW TO MAKE 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 for pictures) people want to talk with those present don’t offend by using your mobile.
• Be curious: ask questions that need more than one word answers- about likes, life, things that fill their day, favorite movies, books, experiences, thing they enjoyed most recently etc.
• Be helpful: answer with more than one word - so others can develop a conversation with you, add content, give examples. (What where when why how)
• Be positive. Every life has negatives, 90% divorce, avoid downloading misfortune. Instead if you know somewhere nice/fun/good value, share that.
• 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, move away.
• Be friendly, swap seats, move around, introduce yourself, talk to, and say hello and goodbye, to everyone at the event. You'll make their day and yours, and they'll look forward to seeing you again.
• Be reliable - if people know you turn up, they’ll come to speak with you. If you RSVP and drop out, people hesitate to bother with you.
• If you meet someone with similar interests, ask for their number and follow up later.
Use these tips and you'll soon form friendships. Message organizer any events you'd like to see added.
Hope to meet soon Margie!
