About us
Posh Plates & Conversations Ladies' Dinner Club is a fun and fabulous dining group for women around 45+ (with some flexibility!). We meet monthly in the evenings to enjoy great food, lively conversation, and explore some of Calgary’s best restaurants—mixing trendy spots, new finds, and old favourites!
The goal of the group is to make new friends and share conversations about work, family, life, hormones (yes, we’ll go there!), and more. We’re all about bringing together like-minded, open-minded, inclusive, supportive, and welcoming women. We aim to create a positive, drama-free space where everyone can enjoy themselves.
Since we’ll be dining in inner Calgary, there may be paid parking or street parking, and some venues will likely add automatic gratuity to the bill. Some events will require a small deposit to secure your spot, which will be reimbursed at dinner. Come for the food, stay for the friendships, and make every dinner a night to remember!
Latest Updates and Group Changes!
RSVPs Will Now Open Two Weeks Before Each Event
This will help everyone commit more confidently. It keeps the date fresh in mind, allows members to better gauge their availability, and gives more people a fair opportunity to attend when they see the RSVP opening date and can mark their calendars.
New: Last-Minute Cancellation Rule
If you cancel under the 48-hour mark more than once or become a frequent last-minute changer:
- You will be moved to the waitlist for future events you have RSVP’d to
- You will only get a spot if one opens after the event fills
- If this pattern continues, you will be temporarily removed from the group
We understand that things happen from time to time and last-minute changes are sometimes unavoidable. This rule is for repeat offenders. Reminder: 48 hours’ notice is one of the rules agreed to when joining the group.
Existing Rule (agreed to when joining)
If you no-show without notice, you will be temporarily removed from the group. You are welcome to rejoin when you are able to commit more consistently. Sadly, we recently had five no-shows at one event. We waited for them to arrive, and the restaurant had set aside space and scheduled staff to accommodate our group. This was unfair to us, to the restaurant, and to the members who did attend.
We’ve created this group to be easygoing, inclusive, and fun. We put a lot of time and care into organizing these dinners, and your cooperation helps keep them enjoyable and fair for everyone.
Thank you so much for your understanding and for being part of such a wonderful community.
We look forward to seeing you at a future dinner!
Warmest regards,
Cheryl & Christine

Yahoo! The Hose & Hound, Stampede week and the Inglewood Night Market!
Hose and Hound, 1030 9 Avenue SE, Calgary, AB, CARSVP's Open June 26th
Yahoo! Join us at The Hose & Hound in historic Inglewood on Friday, July 10th at 6:30 PM for a Stampede meets Inglewood Night Market evening!
It’s the final Friday of Stampede and the Inglewood Night Market will be in full swing starting at 5:00 PM. Feel free to come early and wander the market while it’s a little less busy, or join us for dinner first and head over after. It runs until 10:00 PM, so it’s the perfect way to make a full evening of it.
The Hose & Hound has graciously offered us either their private upstairs space or a spot on the covered patio, depending on bookings that evening.
To keep things running smoothly for the staff, we kindly ask that everyone remain seated until your bill is settled, then feel free to mingle and mix as much as you like. We always encourage getting to know the wonderful ladies around you.
Group Notice:
Gratuity may be added to each bill. Parking will be limited and busy due to both events. Street parking is free after 6 PM, there is a paid city lot across the street, and a small number of free spots at the venue. If you plan to arrive early for the night market and park at the Hose & Hound lot, please pop into the restaurant first and let them know you’re joining us for dinner at 6:30, otherwise there is a risk your vehicle could be towed. Coming early is highly recommended for street parking, or consider Ubering to make things easier.2 attendees
