What we’re about
Do you want to get out and have fun? Are you in your 40's ... 50's ... 60's but don't feel your age and still love life?
This is a group for friendly and respectful individuals to enjoy a variety of social activities and events together.
We have events such as trivia nights, shows and exhibitions, live music and dancing, movies, theatre, walks, value meals out and the occasional indulgence.
Most events will be within the region marked on the attached map, although at times we will venture further afield. Main activities area
You are requested to have a clear, recent head or head and shoulders photograph as your profile picture so that we can all recognise you at events, and to use a name that people can use to address you.
As a courtesy to other attendees, would-be attendees, organisers and venues, you are asked to keep your RSVP up to date at all times. Being on the waiting list is considered to mean you are available and intending to attend if a position becomes available at any time.
There is an annual membership fee to cover some of the large fee Meetup now charges group organisers.
Annual membership is $6, payable by 1 September each year for the following year to 31 August. Payment details will be provided on joining.
After attending three events as a "+1", guests of members will be asked to become financial members before attending further events. Note that some events, especially those with very limited capacity, will be restricted to members only.
Please note this is not a dating group. Respectful behaviour is expected at all times. Abusive, aggressive or harassing behaviour will not be tolerated.
