Explore Melbourne is the largest meetup group in Australia. We have seven simple rules in place to protect our community and for everyone to have a positive experience.
❌ **Not a dating group!** – We’re here to make friends, not find soulmates. No flirty business, please!
📵 **No phone numbers**, please! – Feel free to swap social media if both parties are cool with it, but let’s keep our digits private. Please **don’t add people to WhatsApp or other groups**.
🔞 Our events are only **open to people aged 18 and older**.
📢 Please **do not advertise other events or groups**.
😅 **Don’t be a social octopus!** – Give people space to chat with others. Please don't be clingy.
🚗 We **don't allow carpooling** due to safety incidents/our public liability insurance not covering motor related accidents.
💰 **No sales pitches!** – No selling, no MLMs, no pyramid schemes, no “life-changing mentorship” offers—let’s keep things scam-free.
By joining this event, you’re giving us a virtual pinky promise 🤝 that you’ll follow the rules. Break them, and—poof!—you’re out for good. No second chances, no do-overs. Let’s keep it fun, friendly, and drama-free!
**Liability Waiver:**
The organizer of this group cannot accept any liability for any loss, damage, injury, or accident to participants or their property at this event. By participating in this event, you're taking responsibility for your safety and well-being.

Struggling with study or learning? You’re not alone.
**Struggling with study or learning? You’re not alone.**
This meetup suits people at all levels of study skill.
Too many children, teenagers, and adults find studying difficult—not because they lack ability, but because they were never taught **how to learn**.
This meetup introduces the basics of **Study Technology**—a practical, proven approach that shows how learning really works and how to overcome common study barriers. It applies to children, teens (and parents), teachers, and adults alike.
You’ll discover simple, effective methods to improve understanding, confidence, and performance—whether at school, work, or online. Teachers and parents often see rapid improvements in both behaviour and results.
Yes, it *is* possible to improve study performance—in just **five easy steps**.
If you can’t attend in person, online options are available.
**Join us and learn how to study effectively—once and for all.**
See you at the meetup,
**Pam**
When learning clicks, confidence follows.

Hosted by KISMETRIX \| True Connection in collaboration with Pun & Gainz
📍 Meeting Point: Boatshed Cafe, 3 Aquatic Drive, Albert Park VIC 3206
📅 Sunday, 12 July 2026
🕘 Please arrive by **8:45 AM** — we start at 9:00 AM sharp
⏱ 9:00 AM – 10:30 AM
🎽 Dress Code: Comfortable activewear or running shoes
☕ **Ticket includes 1 standard hot beverage after the run**
#### **SOME OF THE BEST CONVERSATIONS HAPPEN MID-STRIDE.**
There's something about moving together that breaks down walls faster than any icebreaker ever could. The rhythm of a run. The fresh air. The shared effort. The way conversation just... flows.
That's exactly why we created this.
Kismetrix has teamed up with **Pun & Gainz** — Melbourne-based personal trainers who believe fitness is as much about community as it is about movement — for our first ever **Run Club Social** at the beautiful Albert Park Lake.
This isn't a race. It isn't a gym class. It's a relaxed, social Sunday morning run for singles who want to meet real people, in real life, doing something they actually enjoy.
#### **🏃 WHAT TO EXPECT**
* A PT-led warm up to get you moving and feeling good before we set off
* A relaxed run around Albert Park Lake (approx. 3–4 km) at your own pace
* Natural pace groups form as you go — runners with runners, walkers with walkers, and everything in between
* A supported walk/run option for those who prefer a gentler pace — you're in good company and you'll still see the whole lake
* Everyone meets at the Boatshed Cafe at the end — this is where the morning really comes alive
* Hot drink included, conversation flows naturally, no awkward formats needed
* Coming solo is completely normal — most people do
#### **💛 WHO THIS IS FOR**
This event is for singles who:
* Enjoy being active and want to meet people in a natural setting
* Are curious about running or already love it — all paces genuinely welcome
* Prefer real-life connection over dating apps and loud venues
* Want to be part of a growing community, not just attend a one-off event
* Are open to friendship, connection, or something more — without it being the whole point
All adult singles welcome, across a wide range of ages. Come solo — most people do.
#### **✨ ABOUT THE COLLABORATION**
Pun & Gainz are Melbourne personal trainers who bring energy, expertise, and genuine warmth to every session. They believe the best workouts happen when people feel good together — and that's exactly what Kismetrix is built on.
Two communities. One Sunday morning. A shared belief that showing up — in fitness and in life — is where everything begins.
#### **📋 WHAT TO BRING**
* Comfortable running or walking shoes
* Water bottle
* Sunscreen & a light layer (June mornings can be crisp)
* An open, easy-going mindset 💛
#### **🎟️ [TICKETS](https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/july-12-walk-run-club-x-pun-gainz-move-connect-meet-at-albert-tickets-1991893379719)**
🌿 Introductory Price: $10
🌿 Introductory Last minutes Price: $20
— includes 1 standard hot beverage after the run.
*This is our first Run Club Social with Pun & Gainz. Introductory pricing reflects that — and won't last.*
#### **🔔 IMPORTANT NOTES**
* Adults only, singles welcome across all ages
* No children or dogs — this helps keep the space comfortable and social for everyone
* Please arrive by 8:45 AM — we move off at 9:00 AM and cannot hold the group
* Tickets are non-refundable but transferable
* This is a social connection experience — outcomes are never guaranteed
* Kismetrix reserves the right to manage attendance to ensure a respectful, welcoming environment for all

IxDA Chat n Pancakes
You can sleep in on the Semiquincentennial (observed), we’re shifting to the following Friday.
But join the local UX community for a chat and some biscuits to catch up. If you were in CA for Figma Config, tell us all the lines and you can tell me how I can animate an SVG without coding it by hand, and why I’d even want to.
