What we’re about
Welcome to the Inner West Melbourne - Ladies Social group for women aged 35 to 55 years young.
Let's come together to celebrate life and friendship in the Inner West & West Melbourne region!
This group is for women looking to make friends and build connections with other women within a similar age group, in your local area.
Join us for great conversations and good times over brunch, lunch, walks, dinners, drinks and dancing the night away.
You can also join our Facebook group where we can post, get to know each other more, interact and chat with each other HERE

HELPFUL GROUP INTERACTION TIPS
1. Respect other people's boundaries. Everyone is different. Some people are more open and are happy to share, some people are more reserved and/ or quiet. Please follow the below link if you want more information about respecting other people’s boundaries.

2. Please be aware of social cues and social skills, what's appropriate and what's not when interacting within the group and with other members. Read the room! Engage, ask other members questions and don't just talk about yourself. Don't pour your life problems onto others, especially if it's the first time you are meeting others in the group. Follow the below link if you want more information about social skills.

3. Don't force a friendship onto others and be patient when meeting new people. It’s always good to never force interactions, and let things happen naturally. Forcing people into the close friends' box can seem overeager and also be viewed as trying to force a friendship. Understanding that real friendships happen naturally and not to try and force an acquaintance into being a best friend after only a few short hours or days, leaves room for there to be fewer forced interactions and awkward moments. Follow the below link if you want more information about forming natural friendships.
