About this Event

Lets meet new friends!


Fast Friending is all about creating a warm, relaxed space where you can meet new friends, connect with like-minded ladies and gents, and enjoy meaningful conversations without any pressure. If you’ve been looking for a fun way to expand your social circle in Sydney, this is the perfect evening to join us.

EVENT COST:

Early Bird - A$ 10 per person

Regular Ticket - A$ 15 per person

Cash at meetup - If you have not purchased your ticket in advance then you can pay A$ 20 cash when you meet Nina at the venue.


This event is designed for everyone looking to expand their social circle, whether you're new to the city or simply ready to meet new people!


What's more?

- If you’re feeling a bit anxious or shy, don’t worry! Feel free to bring along one of your lady friends for free to make it easier to attend. You’ll have company and won’t feel alone, making it easier to relax and enjoy the experience!


'Fast friending' is our fun and quick way to help you make new connections quickly with both ladies and gentlemen. These are people in the age group of 21 to 40 and so you will be on a similar wavelength. Naturally you can always choose who to speak with based on your preference!


Nina, your host will be there to welcome you warmly into the group and also help you with introductions! We welcome locals and internationals both!


Here’s how our Fast Friending works:-

- We will meet at 7.00 and have time to get settle down and get a drink.


- From about 7.40 to 8.40 we will run the fast friending system. Half of the group (mixed gender) will stay in a fixed place and the other half of the group (mixed gender) will be asked to rotate. During these intervals, each pair of people will get the opportunity to talk to each other.


- Nina will be hosting the evening and she will organize the fast friending process. She will indicate when you should move to the next person.


- From 8.40 onwards we will stop the system and people will have to chance go chat and interact with those they have met as well as others.


If you are a bit shy or anxious then please come early. Nina will help you meet other members in a small group and help you settle down and get comfortable. All attendees are also welcome to bring a lady friend along with them for free. This will make it a lot less stressful for you as you will always have your friend alongside.


Our venue for the evening - Shark Hotel is spacious, has comfortable seating and not very noisy. We have a reserved area where our members can meet each other in a supportive environment.


- We are not a close knit tight group. Our evenings are warm and comfortable for members attending for the first time and those coming alone. You will not feel alone!


- We have many groups in this city. Members of our other groups who RSVP are included as guests of the organisers in order to give you an indication of expected people.


- This evening is for ladies and gents in the 21 to 40 age group. While some will be at the younger end of this range there will also be others at the other end of the range and lots in-between!


- We are not a dating group. Our events are not organised to manage your dating life. Our group is created to help ladies and gents meet other like minded ladies and gents. Please do not attend our event if a perfect gender balance is important for your enjoyment of our meet-up.
