What we’re about
This is a group for young professionals in this amazing city who are between the ages of 25-55.
We may still be single or may be single due to a relationship breakdown. Let’s get together and make new friends and more on.
You are either new to meetup or have been on meetup for a long time and are tired of how the social activities have deteriorated in the other meetup groups in London.

Here you can see everyone from different cultures and races meeting and having a great time and this is what we tend to achieve everytime we host!
Here is how we will do things differently
Ever since Covid has occurred the world has changed ways in how we function and operate.
Meeting people of various cultures has become difficult with various restrictions and with online events people rarely have the opportunity of meeting face to face and this results in not getting the right opportunity to meet in person.
We will always have hosts at all our events. You will always be greeted by someone
at all our events and introduced to others. (Warm & welcoming hosts to help you
mingle!)

We will minimise no shows by requiring attendees to pay a deposit in advance. No
shows are misleading and not fun for organisers nor for members.
We will not disguise organisation costs in opaque ticket prices, commissions from
bars or inflated set menu prices.
We will instead ask for a small charge of a few pounds to help us manage the group and its activities. (Very Transparent)
We will strive to attract a high quality membership who prefer higher quality
venues and events. We will not be driven by happy hours, free food etc...(as all
of these are eventually balanced out by much higher prices later)
We will constantly request members to help us host events and take a lead on
activities so that we have energy and variety.

I very much hope that you will join us and create a vibrant social community
which is close knit and high quality.

See all- Fast Friending - Meet ladies & gents FAST! (25-50/Drink Offer/Bring Lady FREE)CQ Melbourne, Melbourne
Has 'work from home' damaged your social life? Has the Covid pandemic meant that many of your old friends have left the city? Would you like to reenergise your social life by meeting like minded ladies and gentlemen but don't know where and how? What if we give you a very simple and reliable method to achieve this without too much stress or hassle? Well, join us!
'Fast friending' is our fun and quick way to help you make new connections quickly with both ladies and gentlemen. These are people in the age group of 18 and 35 and so you will be on a similar wavelength. Naturally you can always choose who to speak with based on your preference!
Here’s how our Fast Friending works:-
- We will meet at 7.00 and have time to get settle down and get a drink.- From about 7.30 to 8.30 we will run the fast friending system. Half of the group (mixed gender) will stay in a fixed place and the other half of the group (mixed gender) will be asked to rotate. During these intervals, each pair of people will get the opportunity to talk to each other.
- Maya will be hosting the evening and she will organize the fast friending process. She will indicate when you should move to the next person.
- From 8.30 onwards we will stop the system and people will have to chance go chat and interact with those they have met as well as others.
If you are a bit shy or anxious then please come early. Maya will help you meet other members in a small group and help you settle down and get comfortable. All attendees are also welcome to bring a lady friend along with them for free. This will make it a lot less stressful for you as you will always have your friend alongside.Our venue for the evening - CQ Bar is spacious, has comfortable seating and not very noisy. We have a reserved area where our members can meet each other in a supportive environment.
- We are not a close knit tight group. Our evenings are warm and comfortable for members attending for the first time and those coming alone. You will not feel alone!
- We have many groups in this city. Members of our other groups who RSVP are included as guests of the organisers in order to give you an indication of expected people.
- This evening is for ladies and gents in the 18 to 35 age group. While some will be at the younger end of this range there will also be others at the other end of the range and lots in-between!
- We are not a dating group. Our events are not organised to manage your dating life. Our group is created to help ladies and gents meet other like minded ladies and gents. Please do not attend our event if a perfect gender balance is important for your enjoyment of our meet-up.

Picture this- You want to meet new people. You want to widen your social circuit and meet new ladies and gentlemen who could be your friends. You go to social venues where lots of ladies and gents socialise but you are a bit nervous and unsure about starting a conversation with a complete stranger. You may get yourself a drink and then stand in a corner looking at others who are having a great time. You may not know how or don't feel comfortable opening a conversation with ladies or gentlemen you don't know. And then you leave without speaking to the people you would have liked to.
Does this happen to you? Don't be concerned as you are not alone. This is exactly how 90% of all people feel.
Now what if we transform this situation and give you a process where you can meet and connect with a large number of ladies and gentlemen in an organised and orderly manner? Join us for a fast friending evening where you can meet lots of ladies and gentlemen in a quick, fun and organised process!
