Hey everyone 👋

The Social Event is almost locked in, and I’m keen to share the details! Let’s recap what it’s all about:

Imagine a fun, laid-back evening with drinks, (maybe pizza!), and cool social games. You’ll rotate tables to chat with new people, guided by me and another host. We’ll throw in conversation starters, fun questions and games to keep things lively. Afterward, you can stick around to chat with anyone you clicked with.

This isn’t a dating event—it’s all about meeting new people, socialising and having a good time in a chill, no-pressure setting.

• Where: Eliza Hall, 128 Prospect Road, Prospect
  

• When: Friday, July 25th

• Arrive: at 6:30 PM, starts at 7:00 PM

• Runs ~2 hours, with extra mingle time after

• Catering: Bar staff selling alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks; pizza might be added if ticket sales are strong (not guaranteed yet)
  

• Tickets: Details drop next Thursday

Details might change, so wait for the ticket announcement next Thursday for final confirmation.
