**Welcome to The Club.** A **curated** social community in Brussels for people who want real connections, memorable experiences, and **better energy than the usual random meetup chaos**. Most of our events happen in **private homes**, gardens, hidden places around Brussels, or unusual locations outside the city. The goal is simple: create the kind of atmosphere where people actually talk, laugh, connect, and want to come back. We organize things like: • gourmet lunches & dinners • picnics & roadtrips • cooking nights • walks around Brussels • karaoke & movie nights • debates & discussions • card and social games • occasional “chaperoned” social evenings where people can meet naturally in a safe environment The difference is that we personally curate and vet new members. The host actively introduces newcomers, helps people integrate into the group, and keeps the atmosphere respectful and relaxed. We have zero tolerance for creepy behavior, unwanted pressure, spam, random uninvited people, or drama. *Unfortunately, posting too many details publicly on Meetup or on the internet in general quickly attracts bots, scammers, fake profiles, crypto weirdos, and people who completely ruin the vibe for everyone else.* That’s why most of our real coordination happens privately through our ***vetted WhatsApp community***. To join, simply scan the QR code in the image. If you are on your phone and cannot scan it directly: • take a screenshot of the image • open the screenshot in your photo gallery • most phones can automatically detect QR codes from photos by long pressing or using Google Lens / iPhone scan feature Then request access to the group and introduce yourself briefly. See you soon

Small curated movie nights in a hidden garden in Ixelles, next to Place Flagey. A mix of: * **cult classics** * **recent movies** * **international cinema** * **comedy nights** * **karaoke & dubbing chaos nights** * **comfort food and summer vibes** **This is not a giant public Meetup** where 40 strangers stand awkwardly around overpriced drinks pretending networking is fun. Humanity already suffered enough. Our idea is simple: we gather in a private home and transform the courtyard into a small outdoor cinema. Sometimes we cook together before the movie: Italian, Thai, Lebanese, Japanese, Balkan, Greek, Latin American street food etc. Sometimes people simply grab pizza from the excellent pizzeria next door and join the screening. Food is intentionally relaxed: bowls, finger food, street food, popcorn, snacks, comfort food. **Some nights are more gourmet.** Some are glorified pizza-and-movie nights. Both are valid forms of civilization **;-)** ## **What makes this different** The group is i**ntentionally small**: usually 6 to 8 people maximum. **People are introduced properly.** Nobody gets abandoned in a corner. The atmosphere stays human, social and safe. **No heavy drinking.** **No creepy behavior.** No random people showing up uninvited. Smoking is allowed because is outside in the courtyard and occasionally we may have **hookah nights** depending on the movie/theme. ## **Typical evenings** * Wong Kar-wai + Asian comfort food * Spaghetti western + Italian street food * Anime + sushi night * Greek cinema + mezze * Balkan chaos cinema + burek * Cult movie dubbing nights where people voice scenes live karaoke-style Yes, this is a real thing now apparently. ## **Important** Because Meetups and public internet are full of bots, spam accounts and socially radioactive individuals, **we do NOT post the exact address publicly.** To join: scan the QR code on the image and request access to the private WhatsApp group or send me a DM. From there: * we announce movies * vote on menus * organize cooking nights * coordinate places **If you are new in Brussels, introverted, traveling, recently arrived, or simply tired of giant impersonal events, this may be your thing.**

Join us for a relaxed day trip to the beautiful city of Spa! ✨ **We’ll meet at Central Station at 08:30 AM and take the 09:01 AM train to Spa together 🚆**. Once there, we’ll explore the city, enjoy the peaceful Ardennes atmosphere, walk around, and do a light hike in the area 🌲🥾. The goal is simple: meet friendly people, enjoy nature, have good conversations, and take some nice photos 📸. Spa is not just a beautiful town — it is also famous for its natural mineral waters, its wellness history, and its elegant atmosphere 💧✨. Fun fact: the word “spa” is used all around the world to describe places for relaxation, wellness, thermal baths, massages, and mineral-water treatments. The name is connected to the Belgian town of Spa, famous for its natural springs and long wellness history. So by visiting Spa, we are visiting the place that helped inspire a word known worldwide! 🌍 We will also have lunch there during the day 🍽️. Everyone is welcome — locals, expats, newcomers, travelers, and anyone who wants to discover Spa in a social and relaxed atmosphere 😊. Please bring comfortable shoes, water, and good energy 💧👟. **Each person is responsible for buying their own train ticket and paying for anything they need during the trip 🎟️.** **Important note: this is a friendly social trip, not a guided tour. There will be no professional guide during the visit. It will also be the first time visiting Spa for the organizers, so we invite everyone to come with a spirit of adventure, flexibility, curiosity, and a positive attitude 🌍✨.** **Let’s enjoy discovering the place together and make the best of the day as a group**! Join the WhatApp community for an easier communication: https://chat.whatsapp.com/FEtMTnGWfzE1pJAnKLkuD1 Personal number: 0471695419 Looking forward to discovering Spa with you! 🙌
