Let’s meet in Docklands for a casual Tuesday evening: we’ll start with dinner at Gozleme Kebab, then walk over to O’Brien Icehouse for public ice skating. This is mainly a relaxed social meetup, not a serious skating session. You’re welcome whether you’re a complete beginner, a bit rusty, or already comfortable on the ice. We can take it easy, skate at our own pace, and have breaks whenever needed. If you don’t want to skate the whole time, that’s completely fine too. You can take breaks, leave early, or just come for dinner and decide from there. Solo attendees are very welcome. **Who this is for** This meetup is good for people who want a fun, casual weekday activity with a bit of movement and social time. Beginners are welcome, but please only join the skating part if you’re comfortable with the normal risks of ice skating. **Links** Meetup start point: [https://maps.app.goo.gl/nG1Qj6hjRV9hvhLg6](https://maps.app.goo.gl/nG1Qj6hjRV9hvhLg6) O’Brien Icehouse: [https://obrienicehouse.com.au/](https://obrienicehouse.com.au/) Pricing / tickets: [https://obrienicehouse.com.au/pricing/](https://obrienicehouse.com.au/pricing/) FAQ: [https://obrienicehouse.com.au/faqs/](https://obrienicehouse.com.au/faqs/) Dinner location: [https://maps.app.goo.gl/nG1Qj6hjRV9hvhLg6](https://maps.app.goo.gl/nG1Qj6hjRV9hvhLg6) **Timeline** * 6:30pm – Meet outside Gozleme Kebab Docklands * 6:30pm – 7:25pm – Casual dinner / food / chat * 7:30pm – Head to O’Brien Icehouse * Around 7:45pm – Get tickets / skates / get ready * 8:00pm – 9:30pm – Ice skating * 9:30pm – Meetup officially ends * Until 10:00pm – Optional extra skating, until the venue/session is still open **Tickets / cost** Please buy your own skating ticket.
