About us

## 💋 Melbourne Women’s Over 50 Friendship Group – Northern Branch

## Fabulous. Friendly. Over 50. Still Got It.

## We’re a lively, loving crew of women who’ve decided life is better shared — over long lunches, winery wanders, cheeky dinners, and spontaneous just-because catch-ups.

This isn’t a club. It’s a community.
We make friends, show up, and actually support each other — with a side of garlic bread, gossip, and occasional glamour.

### 🥂 What We Do:

  • 🍝 Lunches that stretch into afternoon prosecco
  • 🍷 Winery visits (we know all the good ones)
  • 🍽️ Dinners out with no plus-ones or awkward silences
  • Just hanging out — real talk, real connection

Whether you’re new to the area, newly single, newly retired — or just ready to connect with women who get it — you’re welcome here.

## 💰 Membership: Just $18 a year

Yep. That’s it. Just $18 to join the fun and help cover basic running costs.
Pay directly to avoid Meetup’s $28 charge:
BSB: 704 191
Account: 29345
Name: Jane Lovegott
(If you insist on paying through Meetup, we’ll still love you — but your wallet won’t.)

### 📌 NEW RSVP RULES (Read These!)

  • ✅ RSVP “Yes” = we’re saving you a seat
  • ❌ If you no-show without notice = 3 strikes, then we say goodbye (gently… but firmly)
  • ✔️ Illness or genuine life-stuff = always understood
  • 💡 Why? To respect our venues, avoid empty seats, and give everyone a fair go.

### 💖 No drama. No pressure. No group texts about crystals.

Just women who want to make genuine connections, eat well, laugh loudly, and never worry about who's splitting the bill.
Come once and you’ll get it.
Come twice and you’ll stay.
Welcome to the sisterhood.

Songbird Cafe & Larder, 10 Whittlesea-Kinglake Rd, Kinglake VIC 3763, Melbourne, AU

## 🔥☕ Road Trip to Songbird Café & Larder – Worth Every Bend in the Road! ☕🔥

Melbourne Women’s Over 50 Friendship Group – Northern Branch
Ladies, I know what you're thinking...
"Kinglake? Isn't that up winding roads in the middle of nowhere?" 😏
Yes. Yes, it is.
But sometimes the best things in life require a little effort:
💎 Diamonds
🍷 Good wineries
🍰 Magnificent cake
And Songbird Café & Larder falls firmly into that category.
📅 Sunday 9th August
🕛 12pm
📍 Songbird Café & Larder, Kinglake
🚗 Good parking, disability friendly cafe
🍷 Licensed café
🔥 Large open fire

### Why we're going:

Because I visited recently and can officially report that:
✅ The food is beautiful
✅ The cakes look positively dangerous
✅ The atmosphere is warm and welcoming
✅ The open fire practically hugs you when you walk in

### What to expect:

☕ Excellent coffee
🍽️ Delicious country-style food
🍰 Cake whispering your name from across the room
🔥 Toasty warmth while Melbourne shivers
Think of it as a winter escape.
A chance to get out of the house, enjoy some gorgeous country scenery, and spend time with women who can hold a conversation without checking their phones every thirty seconds. 😆
Will there be winding roads?
Yes.
Will there be cake?
Also yes.
And frankly, we all know which of those is more important.
👉 RSVP and join us for a cosy country lunch. I promise the destination is worth the journey!

### 🌸 RSVP Reminder

Please RSVP "Yes" only if you genuinely intend to attend. If your plans change, please update your RSVP as soon as possible so another member can take your place.
Maximum of 10 but can book for more if I know in advance. This place will be popular on the weekend.
See you by the fire, ladies! 🔥💋🍰
