[Sold Out] Gay Men's Speed Dating - Alcohol Free
**Tickets (SOLD OUT):** (URL removed)
Fed up with dating apps and looking for something a little more down to earth?
Join us at Sips Corner Cafe for an evening of fast-paced introductions, genuine conversation, and alcohol-free connection.
This special edition of our popular speed dating events is designed for gay and queer men aged 18+ who would like to meet new people in a relaxed cafe environment rather than a traditional bar setting.
To keep things moving, we'll be running turbo rounds of speed dating (5 minutes per date), giving you the chance to meet more people, make more connections, and quickly discover who you'd like to chat with again.
Dirty sodas, mocktails, coffee, and other refreshments will be available for purchase throughout the evening.
Whether you're looking for friendship, romance, community, or simply a different way to spend your Friday night, you're welcome to join us.
**What to expect:**
• Structured speed dating facilitated by LGBT+ Social Hub Melbourne
• 5-minute "turbo rounds"
• Alcohol-free environment
• Dirty sodas, mocktails and cafe refreshments available for purchase
• Friendly, low-pressure atmosphere
• Open to all gay and queer men aged 18+
**Accessibility**
This event will primarily be held standing as participants move between conversations. If you require seating due to an accessibility need, please let us know ahead of time and we'll do our best to accommodate you.
As with all LGBT+ Social Hub Melbourne events, kindness, respect, and consent are cornerstones of our culture, and are expected at all times.
*Please note that while Meetup generates tickets for registration on this platform, they do not count as valid bookings. To secure your place, please book for this event via our Eventbrite to avoid disappointment, as our events often sell out.*

1 Day Snow Trip! [Mount Buller] - Super cheap! (from: $89)
== A note on our cheap tickets ==
Yes we have discounted tickets, but they are limited. We have always tried to provide lower prices (and yes, these are normal return ticket) as many of our customers are students & foreigners. However if you want discounted tickets, they are on a first-come, first-served basis - so planning ahead really helps.
=== 100% REFUND GUARANTEE IF THERE IS NO SNOW! ===
If there is not enough snow on the mountain for skiing / snowboarding then we will cancel the trip and refund customers. We regularly watch the snow reports for snowfall reports.
=== Mount Buller snow season bus trip ===
Note: despite our name (New To Melbourne!) we get a lot of locals and non-foreigners - especially for this service (our snow transport).
The Mount Buller snow field / resort is a must see during winter and is incredible for Instagram photos - but it’s for a very limited part of the year.
=== What’s included ===
This is a 1 day bus transfer to Mount Buller (with return back to Melbourne). We are travelling in a comfortable 57 seat coach (bus) with air-conditioning / heating. Included in your ticket is also the “gate entry” (which is normally $50 or so). We are probably the most affordable transport option to the snow (as we are with our other trips).
It’s great for families, couples, kids and for all kinds of activities like: take photos (for instagram / facebook), tobogganing, sledding, skiing, snowboarding, build snowmen/snow figures, sightseeing or have a snow fight with friends.
► Return coach transport to (and from) Mount Buller
► We stop at snowboarding / ski equipment store (their staff can advise and fit you on the day if you want to ski/snowboard etc.)
► 10% discount on snowboarding/skiing equipment and clothes (exclusive to New To Melbourne!)
► Mount Buller resort Entry Fee / “Gate fee” (please note: lift pass not included)
(Important: this is normally $50 for those that drive themselves but is included in the New To Melbourne ticket price).
=== BUY TICKETS HERE ===
[https://www.newtomelbourne.org/shorty/0ohkor](https://www.newtomelbourne.org/shorty/0ohkor)
IMPORTANT: most of our bus services to Mount Buller sell out. Attendees must have purchased a ticket ahead of time in order to board in the morning. If you attend the pickup location looking to pay in cash, you will be turned away.
=== EQUIPMENT NOT INCLUDED ===
\- tickets do not include ski equipment\.
\- Snow equipment hire prices are approx\. $100 for snowboard / skis \(and poles\)\, boots\, pants\, jacket and helmet\. However there’s plenty to do apart from snowboarding / skiing if you’re on a budget\.
=== BUS DEPARTURE ===
Bus departs from: Old Melbourne Gaol (377 Russell St, Melbourne VIC 3000). Closest station is Melbourne Central Station (5 minutes walk away)
From Melbourne: 5.30am
From Mount Buller: 5.00pm (please confirm with your driver on the day) - be on time to ensure you do not miss the bus.
Return to Melbourne: 9.00pm
=== Activities for families ===
Many families like to goto the taboggan park or arrange ski/snowboarding lessons for their kids. You can get a taboggan park pass at the equipment store we are visiting on the way. Just speak to the staff (at the equipment store) on the day.
=== Learn to Ski or Snowboard ===
If you don't know how to ski or snowboard, there are lessons that are available on the days that we visit. You can google and find these fairly quickly. Lessons are available for adults and children.
===== Early Start? =====
All pickups are an early start for Mount Buller - to ensure you get the most time on the slopes possible.
How to get to the meeting location (in the morning):
Transport options may be limited at this time in the morning, so:
\- some people stay with a friend in the city\, a hostel \(overnight\) or an AirBnb \- then walk to the meeting location\.
\- plan your journey in advance to make sure you can get to the meeting point \(comfortably\) prior to 5\.30am\. If you have trouble with public transport to the Melbourne departure point\.

[https://bit.ly/2YF5Tpr](https://bit.ly/2YF5Tpr)

Unfortunately we cannot reserve tickets and we're unable to individually let people know when tickets come out - please keep an eye on the event page if you miss out.
Transfer service only: Unlike other New To Melbourne tours, this service is a Mount Buller return transfer service only (with included stops) and not a tour. As such, there is not a tour guide - only a driver.

Please approach the snow season with safety as your first priority.
=== Group discount, Concessions and children’s passes ===
-Groups above 20 people, please contact us.
-For children / concession prices: Our standard adult price is already below most of our competitors concession price, so prices cannot be further discounted.

Ranked #29 best steak in the world - Steer Dining Room
Steer Dining Room has become one of a handful of Australian restaurants to serve genuine Kobe beef, the most sought-after kind of Wagyu. The delicate meat (from Japan’s Hyogo prefecture) stands out for its high marbled fat content, which causes it to melt at low temperatures.
Awarded 29th in the World’s Best Steaks for 2026 (the highest ranking awarded to a Melbourne venue), the awards write-up states, “Steer Dining Room is not about spectacle; it is about mastery. Through its commitment to sourcing, its reverence for wagyu and its measured execution, it has secured its place as an essential institution for those who see steak not merely as a meal, but as a craft.”
Read more here: STEER DINING ROOM | Worldbeststeaks 2026
I have booked for 6 Fine Diners to enjoy the Signature Wagyu Degustation - 6 courses at $325 per person - for dinner from 6.15pm on Friday 3 July. You can view the menu here and it looks simply mouthwatering: https://www.steerdiningroom.com.au/_files/ugd/16cb0b_e63265bb4f3e41319004584541a580e3.pdf
Join the waitlist to express interest.
Once I have names in the waitlist, I’ll send you a ‘Meetup Message’ to confirm you have a spot and how to pay. You’ll need to send me $100 to secure your place (equivalent to the cancellation fee - this will be deducted from your bill when we settle up). Once paid I’ll move you from the waitlist to ‘Attending’.
As these are small group events, there are often more Fine Diners interested than there are seats available. My approach to hosting an event is to share seats around amongst members of the group in as fair a manner as I can, including mixing Fine Diners regulars with newcomers. Please be respectful if there are events when you miss out on a seat.
I will always message you so you know if you have secured a seat or are still waitlisted in case a seat opens up. Please check that you don’t have your settings blocking messages; if I can’t contact you, I’ll have to move on to the next person. Also if you don’t respond to my message offering you a seat within 3 days, I’ll let you know that I’m offering the seat to another person on the waitlist.
This looks like a memorable menu for steak lovers in the group, so I hope you can join me.

Speak Easy (Storytelling)
The topic for July is "Shoes"
Speak Easy: true stories, told live.
The idea is simple: an audience, an open microphone, and great stories. Hilarious, gripping, poignant- it's up to you. Audiences are invited to come to listen or come to tell as folks from all corners of Columbus offer their stories live on stage! Held at Wild Goose Creative's warm, intimate space, this night of tales occurs on the 3rd Thursday of every month. Doors open at 6:30 pm, show starts at 7:00 pm. Please arrive early if you want to tell, as we generally only have room for a limited number of tellers, and the sign-up sheet has a tendency to fill up fast.
Formed around the idea that people need stories--they're what hold and draw us together--SpeakEasy celebrates the strangeness and commonness of being human. And in a world of smartphones, Facebook, Twitter, and more . . . it gives people a real, breathing, in-person way to connect.
The night is geared for true stories of all kinds, taking the best tales told around kitchen tables, in darkened pubs, on the street corner, and at late-night parties and giving them an audience. Speak Easy is also a great outlet for performers, writers, and artists looking to share their favorite stories and perfect their skills. We strongly encourage tellers to please tell the story rather than read it so we keep within the spirit of good storytelling and stay engaged with the audience. All are welcome. Hang around after the show for a drink and build community!
Columbus Comedy Improv Meetup at Gresso's!
Whether you've never done improv before, or you've done it for so long you were quoted in *Truth in Comedy*, or anywhere in between, come join us! Swing by *Gresso's* for the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**!
The idea behind improvised comedy is to create entire scenes from scratch. A suggestion is taken from the audience and laughter is built on the spot. This can be done in game form, like *Whose Line Is It Anyway, Make Some Noise,* or *Wild 'n Out*; it can also be done in a longer way, to tell a complicated story, like *TJ & Dave*.
Our meetup, which is central Ohio's longest running (and FREE!) weekly comedy event, brings the games for you to play in a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment. Afterward, many members will hang out in *Gresso's* itself and get to know each other. Not only is this a lot of fun, but you get to work on thinking faster on your feet, your public speaking, plus it's an excellent way to meet new people and build relationships that will last a lifetime, and you do that while laughing your butt off!
Ask yourself if you want to join the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**, and say "*Yes, And*" that you'll have a blast!
Walk & Talk About Life's Big Questions
[The Board Walks](http://www.theboardwalks.com/) are for curious people who love deep conversations.
If that sounds like you, **bring a thoughtful topic** and join us for a 5-mile walk (10,000+ steps!).
**HOW IT WORKS**
**Step 1: Bring a topic**
Before you arrive, think of **one** topic you want to explore. A question. A thought that's been on your mind. An obsession you want to geek out on. This is your ticket to the event.
**Step 2: Circle up & share**
We gather in a circle. Your friendly walk host gives a speech to set the tone. Everyone shares: your name, what you're grateful for, and your topic. That's it. 60 seconds.
**Step 3: Walk, talk & float**
We walk 5 miles. You naturally drift into conversation with 2-3 people at a time, pulled by topics that spark your curiosity. When you're ready to move on, just say: "I'm going to float!"
**Step 4: Feel more alive**
Two hours flies by. You're back where you started — but you feel different. More alive. More energized. More connected to yourself and others. That's why regulars join 20+ times.
*For more details, read our [Orientation Guide.](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation)*
**HOW TO BRING A GREAT TOPIC**
A great topic = something you're genuinely curious about.
Recent topics include:
* "What are you passionate about right now?"
* "What makes a good friend?"
* "What's a belief you used to hold that you've completely changed?"
* "How do you want to be remembered?"
* "What would you do if money wasn't a factor?"
Think of your topic like the dish you're bringing to our conversational potluck. If everyone brings an A+ dish (i.e. energizing, uplifting, expansive), we'll all walk away feeling lighter and brighter.
**WHAT TO EXPECT**
This isn't a fitness event with casual chitchat. It's a walking think tank where we explore life's big questions together, beyond small talk. *If you're looking for light banter or a standard networking event, this probably isn't the right fit.*
But if you crave depth, genuine connection, and conversations that make you feel alive? You'll love it here.
**FAQ**
* Wear casual athletic attire and sneakers. It's a long walk!
* We have multiple first-timers at each event. We work hard to create a welcoming, inclusive, clique-free space.
* We welcome people of **all** ages, backgrounds, and industries who align with the [intention](https://www.theboardwalks.com/ground-rules) of this space.
* Rain or shine, we've been out here nearly every week since July 2022. If the event is cancelled, we'll let you know.
* Dogs, babies in strollers, parents, and friends are welcome — please text/email them the event link so they can RSVP and prepare a topic!
**LOGISTICS**
* If you'll arrive over 10 minutes late, we suggest skipping the event. It's hard to find us once we start walking, and your host can't answer messages during the event.
* This walk is designed for everyone to *move together at the same steady pace* (about 20 min/mile). This format works best when the whole group moves in unison. If you have mobility limitations, we kindly encourage you to find an event better suited to your needs.
* Read our [Orientation Guide](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation) for full details.
* If you enjoy the event, send **[this](http://www.theboardwalks.com/)** to a friend or sign up for our **[newsletter](https://theboardwalks.beehiiv.com/)**. We're in multiple cities with more on the way. 🤠👋
**IF YOU WANT TO GO DEEPER...**
[The Board](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board) is the next step: a high-trust collective for renaissance people devoted to creating, connecting, and building lives that light us up.
* This is a global HQ for people who crave big talk, deep connection, and dream collaborations with people across industries. If the walks feel like a spark... The Board is the fire. Apply [here](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board).

Catch the best view of Ohio’s biggest fireworks show – without the downtown madness. Land grant is 1/2 a mile from red white and boom! BOOM! At Land grant is back! The 3 ton toad will go live on the beer garden stage beginning at 7 PM. They’ll keep the music going right up until the fireworks light up the sky.
Come early, grab a craft beer, hit up the food trucks, and settle in for a summer night of music, drinks, and an unbeatable fireworks finale.
