Join us for a relaxed evening walk along the beach from South Melbourne towards St Kilda Pier. We’ll follow the waterfront path, with bay views, beach paths, and a social, low-pressure pace. The full AllTrails route is about 7.1 km return, listed as moderate, with minimal elevation. AllTrails also lists it as an out-and-back trail, so we can keep the plan flexible depending on how people are feeling. You can choose what suits you: * Shorter option: walk one way towards St Kilda Pier and head off from there. Trams are available nearby. * Full option: walk back with the group towards South Melbourne. This is a casual walk, not a fitness challenge. We’ll keep an easy social pace, and you’re welcome to leave early if you prefer the shorter option. **Links** Meetup start point: [https://maps.app.goo.gl/nGWgU4Fni1xPMgPG7](https://maps.app.goo.gl/nGWgU4Fni1xPMgPG7) AllTrails route link: [https://www.alltrails.com/trail/australia/victoria/st-kilda-pier-via-south-melbourne-beach](https://www.alltrails.com/trail/australia/victoria/st-kilda-pier-via-south-melbourne-beach) **Rough timeline** * 6:15pm – Meet outside South Melbourne Life Saving Club * 6:30pm – Start walking towards St Kilda * Around 7:15pm – Arrive near St Kilda Pier / short-walk finish option * 7:15–8:30pm – Return walk towards South Melbourne, with optional food or gelato depending on the group * 8:30pm – Meetup ends **What to bring** Comfortable walking shoes, water, and a warm layer. **What to expect** * Distance: About 7.1 km return for the full option * Difficulty: Moderate according to AllTrails, but mostly straightforward waterfront walking * Pace: Slow, easy, and social * Vibe: Relaxed, low-pressure, and welcoming to solo attendees **Important notes** * You can do the shorter one-way option and finish near St Kilda Pier. * You can leave early if needed. * The walk is weather-dependent, so please check the forecast and dress warmly. * We’ll aim to stay together, but the route is simple and flexible. * Optional food or gelato will depend on the group on the night.

**Player count: 3 of 5. Two spaces left!** The city has gone to the dogs. The Steward fills the purses of the rich through the backs of the poor. It's time to redistribute the wealth. Welcome to the Robin Hood: Blades in the Dark game, you didn't know you needed. This is the story of your crew as they rail against the injustices of the land and do their best to do good in a world that wants them at each others throats. This game is beginner friendly, and spans 6 fortnights. **Everything you need to learn about the game, will be in session 0.** However throughout the game I will prompt you and aid you in the rules of the game. What to expect: Gritty, fast pace heists where you have to think on your feet. Things are grim, but you are bringing hope back to these streets. In session 0 we will be discussing the setting, the specialty of the game, making characters, including playing the formation of this crew. No equipment is needed as everything will be provided for you. However if you would like to bring your own dice, you will want D6's. When: Tuesdays, fortnightly, 7pm Where: Elder Gods and Dragons (in Carlton VIC) Price: $25 for session 0. $35 from session 1 onwards A summary of the game: Crime has gone up as good people can no longer afford to eat. It is no longer safe. You are sent home from the war and your house has been "requisitioned", you no longer have a place in polite society. But you find a few who are like you. Dislocated, bitter at those who do nothing but enjoy the protections of the current steward and his sheriffs. You gather and through hoods and shadows, you take from the rich and give to the poor.

Join the waitlist to express interest. After the first day or so of posting, 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 $50 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 spot. 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 spot within 3 days, I’ll let you know that I’m offering the seat to another person on the waitlist. 

Bring on the truffle fun(gi)!
