Artsy Hangout ✏️🏡☕️✨
‼️‼️LOCATION CHANGED TO BRUNSWICK LIBRARY ACROSS THE STREET DUE TO THE RAIN 🌧️‼️‼️
Hello everyone 👩🎨
Bring any art supplies you like and a picnic blanket or chair. We will just be sat on the grass outside the main yellow building doing art together.
If you aren’t sure what to draw the club has a weekly drawing theme, just ask me what the prompt is 😊 There is also a small cafe inside the building for those who want a drink while they draw ☕️
✏️ We welcome all artists of any skill level or medium, Whether you’re a beginner or pro, traditional or digital, absolutely anyone can join.
⚠️IMPORTANT⚠️ Please do not attend if you are sick. I have multiple chronic illnesses so my immune system is extremely weak. Keep everyone safe by staying home if you are unwell.
☔️ If the weather changes there is a small cafe inside we can move into.

Check out our instagram @shypeoplesdrawingclub to see more about our awesome group. We also have a Discord group for online events if you would like to join and chat with more artists. ✨

June 14 | Run Club x Pun & Gainz — Move, Connect & Meet at Albert Park Lake
### 🌿 KISMETRIX \| True Connection x Pun & GainzRun Club Social — Move\, Connect & Meet
[Ticketed Event](https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/jun-14-run-club-x-pun-gainz-move-connect-meet-at-albert-tickets-1990309261579?aff=oddtdtcreator)
Hosted by KISMETRIX \| True Connection in collaboration with Pun & Gainz
📍 Meeting Point: Boatshed Cafe, 3 Aquatic Drive, Albert Park VIC 3206
📅 Sunday, 14 June 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/jun-14-run-club-x-pun-gainz-move-connect-meet-at-albert-tickets-1990309261579?aff=oddtdtcreator)**
🌿 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
