Sandringham‑to‑St Kilda Cheeky Strolling Coastal Adventure and Cafe 12 km
Sandringham‑to‑St Kilda Cheeky Strolling Coastal Adventure and Cafe 12 km
**🌞 Event Title** Sandringham‑to‑St Kilda Cheeky Strolling Coastal Adventure **💫 The Vibe** A three‑hour, 12 km beach‑promenade wander where sunscreen, sea breeze and slow‑burn chemistry mingle beautifully. Think sandy‑toed charm, gentle teasing, and the kind of walk where you “accidentally” fall into step with someone who laughs at your jokes. **+++Ensure you read the rules at the end before joining. Registering = agreeing to them+++** **🚉 Meeting Options** - 11:00 a.m. at Sandringham Station — gather, stretch, flirt, admire each other’s hats. Try to arrive by 10.45 a m. I may not wait for stragglers. - OR join the travelling circus on the last carriage of the Sandringham line train leaving Flinders St at ~10:17 a.m. It’s the unofficial pre‑party carriage: smiles, introductions, and the first hints of seaside adventure. **🏖️ The Walk** A long, delicious glide along the coastline, following the beach promenade past Brighton’s colourful bathing boxes, Elwood’s breezy foreshore, and the slow unfurling of St Kilda’s charm. The pace is relaxed, the conversation playful, and the scenery a perfect backdrop for gentle social alchemy. **Expect**: - Sparkly water - Flirty side‑glances - A few “wait, let’s take a photo here” moments - And the occasional dolphin‑level social energy **🍽️ Lunch Landing** We roll into Frankie’s Top Shop Café in West St Kilda for a well‑earned lunch. Think good food, relaxed vibes, and the perfect setting to keep conversations flowing. This is where the group settles, mingles, and maybe discovers who they want to walk next to on the optional extension… For people that would prefer to walk the optional city section only this could be a perfect place to start..We should be here from around 2p.m to 2.30p.m depending on how our gossip catch up goes. **➕ Optional 5 km Extension** For the adventurous, the curious, or the romantically optimistic: Taking us up to a 17km long walk. A 5 km wander from Frankie’s to Transport Bar at Federation Square, weaving through: - The shimmering loop of Albert Park Lake - The dramatic presence of the Shrine of Remembrance - The mysterious charm of the black swans - And the gentle descent into the city via the gardens We finish at Transport Bar, where snacks, drinks, and evening‑plotting unfold naturally. **🕒 Timing** - Main walk: ~3 hours, 12 km - Lunch: About 30 to 60 minutes - Optional extension: ~1.5 hours, 5 km - Entire experience: a full afternoon of sunshine, laughter, and lightly charged social chemistry **🐾 Who’s Welcome** Humans, charmers, wanderers, romantics, and anyone who enjoys a good promenade. (Pets optional but always adored.) **⚠️ Group Rules & Event Etiquette ⚠️** These are basic, commonsense standards that keep events safe, smooth, and enjoyable for everyone. **👟 Fitness Requirements** Walking: 3–4 km/hr We walk at a relaxed pace. Please ensure you meet the fitness level for the event. If the group is forced to wait excessively, you may be asked to leave the event. **⛹️ Pace: Too Fast or Too Slow** Small social events rely on staying together. If you prefer a very different pace, consider going solo, joining a faster/slower group, or choosing events that match your fitness. **👩‍💼 Time Constraints** If you’re on a tight schedule, this may not be the right event. Social activities rarely run exactly on time. **⚠️ CRITICAL EXPECTATIONS ⚠️** **👻 No‑Shows** No‑shows block waitlisted people from attending and disrupt small-group events. - Remove yourself at least 24 hours before the event. - No‑shows will likely be removed and blocked from the group. - Last‑minute cancellations **(“flaking”)** may also result in group removal, especially when there is a waitlist. **👀 Attending Without Being on the Going List** This is a security issue. **Do NOT turn up unannounced**. If you’re not on the Going list and haven’t arranged it with the organiser beforehand, you will be asked to leave. Event check‑ins are performed. **⏰ Late Arrivals** If you’re late, the group will not wait. - You may be marked as a No‑Show and removed from the group. - It’s your responsibility to communicate and catch up—this may not be possible for some events. **🎲 Second Chances** If something goes wrong, communicate with the organiser. Silence + poor behaviour = removal. Communication + accountability = second chances. As the organiser is busy organising this may be impossible during the event. **🚩Disclaimer: No Liability & Organiser Indemnity By participating in this event, you acknowledge and accept full personal responsibility for your own safety, wellbeing, and belongings. The organiser assumes no liability for injury, loss, or damage incurred during the activity. Participation is entirely at your own risk.**

If you’re new to the group or if this is your first time attending my meetup events, I WELCOME you! Glad to have you in the group.😊

 

Why it’s important to join meetups? 
It’s in our DNA to connect with people. Let’s face it, we are social creatures and we need to be connected with one another. If you go back to our grandparents, they would be connected in a community (or village) and everyone would know each other. 
Nowadays, we no longer live like this because there are big cities and we are continually moving fast, and disconnection has been widespread. This is why connection is important. We need to bring back connection.
 
As always, there will be us hosts to meet you and greet you. 👋



If you have any questions, feel free to inbox me me a direct message.✌🏽peace Kind regards, Abraham

Contra dance with Big Scioty April 11 - Clinton Heights Lutheran church
Contra dance with Big Scioty April 11 - Clinton Heights Lutheran church
**Caller: Kim Thompson** **Band: Full Moon Country Dance Orchestra** **Clinton Heights Lutheran Church** **15 Clinton Heights Ave, Columbus, OH 43202** WHAT IS CONTRA DANCING? Picture the Grand Ball scenes like you’ve seen in period films such as “Pride and Prejudice”, where the dancers are lined up in long lines, across from each other. That’s English Country Dancing, the predecessor of contra dancing. Now, add moves like “swing your partner” and “do-si-do,” like you’ve seen in square dancing. Set it to fabulous, high energy, live music with fiddles, guitars, percussion and more, alá “Riverdance.” Finally, set the whole scene down in the middle of Woodstock, with a hip, groovy atmosphere, a bit of tie-dye, and hints of counter-culture attitude. THAT’s Contra Dancing! Wear cool and comfortable clothes (you will get warm) and clean shoes that won't mark up our nice wood floor. Be sure to come for the beginner's lesson from 7:30 - 8:00, followed by dancing 8:00 - 10:30. All dances are taught; we will help you learn! Beginners always welcome, no need to bring a partner. Cost is $10.00 adults, $5.00 ages 12-26. Under 12 free. Free parking in church lot. For more information contact me or check out our website: [www.bigscioty.com](http://www.bigscioty.com/) Please bring your own refillable water bottle.
