Saturday Supper Club & Games – Second Serve

Saturday Supper Club & Games – Second Serve

Sat, May 9, 6:00 PM
From Second Serve Social 🎾

Once a month, we slow things down. No courts. No rushing. Just good food, easy conversation, and a social that actually feels… social. This is the **Second Serve Supper Club** — a more relaxed, sit-down version of the group. *** ### 📍 Venue (Croydon / easy access) We rotate between: * Cosy restaurants with bookable tables * Private/semi-private dining spaces * Quiet venues where we can actually hear each other (Final location shared after approval) *** ### 🕒 Format (Monthly Saturday) * **6:30 – 7:15pm** → Arrivals + dinner orders * **7:15 – 8:15pm** → Dinner & natural conversation * **8:15 – 9:45pm** → Games + guided social * Wrap up on time — no dragging the night out *** ### 🎲 The Twist (What makes this different) This isn’t just “dinner and hope for the best.” We structure it lightly so it never gets awkward: * Small tables (4–6 people max) * Subtle **table rotations** (optional, not forced) * Simple games that spark conversation, not competition *** ### 💬 Conversation Style No cringe icebreakers. We use light prompts that are easy to answer and easy to build on. *** ### 👥 Who this is for * People who don’t want loud, chaotic nights * People who actually want to talk and connect * People who prefer structure over randomness *** ### ✅ Approval & Attendance * RSVP approval required * Limited seats (kept intentionally small) * Priority goes to consistent attendees 👉 If you RSVP, we expect you there (No-shows affect future approvals) *** ### 💷 Cost * Small organiser fee (covers hosting + setup) * Food/drinks paid individually at venue *** ### The vibe A proper social. Not loud. Not forced. Not endless. Just a good evening, done right.
