If you’re ready to expand your circle, you’re in the right place.
You can check us out on [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/_balancers/) 📸🚨

It’s a fun and easy way to start conversations with people in the room.
**08:15 PM – Team Challenges Begin**
Once teams are formed, the challenges start.
The first 3 teams to complete all three challenges win free shots🍹
No skills needed. Just jump in, have a laugh and work together.
**09:00 PM – Open Social & Mingling**
Once the challenges wrap up, the room opens up.
This is the moment to mix, chat and get to know new people.
**10:00 PM – Music**
The DJ takes over and the night shifts into a more relaxed social vibe. Chat, dance and keep the connections going.
⚠️ Please note: Entry is not guaranteed after 10:00 PM
**11:30 PM – After Party**
For those who want to keep the night going, we’ll head to a venue close by for the after party.

✨ Pro tip
Try to arrive by 7:30 PM to enjoy the full experience.
🔹 Many people come alone. That’s completely normal here.
🔹 Our hosts are on the floor helping people meet and get involved.
🔹 Most attendees join through our app, so the Meetup “Going” list represents only a small portion of the actual crowd.

Wine Not? (Women Only)
Wine Not? is a women-only gathering before the Balancers Saturday social.
Most attendees come solo, so it’s an easy and welcoming place to meet people and settle in before the night gets busier.
London can make meeting new people feel awkward, especially if you're coming alone. This early social creates a comfortable environment where you can chat, laugh, and get to know a few friendly faces first.
Expect a relaxed atmosphere, a few light games, and plenty of time to connect naturally.
**At 7.30 pm the main Balancers social begins**, and the room fills as over **150 people usually join the night**.
Wine Not? naturally flows into the rest of the evening, so you’re welcome to stay and enjoy the full experience.
Coming solo is completely normal. Our hosts will be there to help everyone feel comfortable, included, and connected from the start.

Sunday funday: let's play dodgeball at Scioto Audubon park
Dodgeball is back again!
If you’ve been wanting to come out, this is an easy one to join. We’ll be playing for about 1.5 to 2 hours, you do not need to bring any equipment, and no experience is needed.
We use a specific set of rules and equipment to make the games run better and keep them fun for everybody, not just people who already know how to play.
If it rains, the event will be canceled.
Summer Social: Let's kick off summer with Adult field day at Shadybowl!
We’re bringing back Adult Field Day.
Last year was a good mix of competition and just hanging out, so we’re doing it again with some new games mixed in. Think team-based challenges, simple races, and a few things inspired by game shows.
You don’t need to be athletic. Most of the fun is just being part of a team and getting to know people you wouldn’t normally talk to.
The goal isn’t really winning. It’s meeting people, laughing a bit, and leaving knowing a few more names than when you showed up.
If you stick around after, we’ll have a potluck, a bonfire, and a couple comedians in the evening.
Bring:
* Something to share for the potluck
* Clothes you can move around in
