Hooray 2020 is over! It's time to catch up on all that socialising we missed out on. What better way to make new friends than to enjoy a casual walk by the beachside. Find yourself a wing-person who can join you at future events. This walk is a unique opportunity to meet up with Melbourne locals (and any overseas visitors) for a relaxed evening of meaningful connections, whilst enjoying the colourful scenery from Brighton to St Kilda.

"Beach Walk" is designed to connect you with like-minded people through sharing a mutually enjoyable experience. This event is best suited to people within the age range of late 20's to mid 50's and those who consider themselves "young-at-heart". Note: majority of people attending are single.

Our events usually attract fun-loving professionals, experienced travellers, those who enjoy outdoor activities, (most tend to lean left politically), people with an interest in health or personal development, and ALL prefer extended face-to-face conversations (as opposed to swiping, typing, night clubs or speed dating).

FACILITATOR

Your host for the evening is the effervescent Sarah. She loves meeting new people and has been passionately hosting social gatherings since 2015. She will ensure you feel welcome and included throughout the walk. Her role is to facilitate connections between guests by getting to know you; so you arrive as strangers, and leave having made new friends.

BONUS FOR THE SINGLES: Sarah is also a matchmaker, and always keeps an eye out for potential matches for her premium clients.

REGISTRATION

5:30pm Arrive at Brighton Beach Station, and meet us in the car park (on the side as though you're travelling TO Melbourne).

You'll be warmly welcomed by Sarah and introduced to one or two other guests. Bring a snack and water to drink.

PRE-EVENT

Prepare two truths and one lie to share with the group for the ice-breaker activity. This helps everyone overcome the fear of starting conversations with strangers... allowing you to easily slip into chit chat after we've all shared our stories.

Watch the video below to learn more about playing two truths and one lie. NOTE: Sarah doesn't condone lying in real life... just when playing this game :)

WALKING

Distance: 7.1km (Brighton to St Kilda)
Time: 1.5 hours

We’ll commence our walk around 5:45pm heading along the beach towards the Brighton Beach Boxes. Bring a camera for photos!!! Wear comfortable shoes, BYO water bottle and weather appropriate clothing.

We walk along the Bay Trail, past the Brighton Baths, yacht club, Elwood beach and canal, arriving in St Kilda around 7:30pm.

DINNER

At 7:30pm your host will be preparing to depart. You are encouraged to continue socialising with everyone you met at the event.

You may like to continue towards the Iddy Biddy Bar for a beverage… or maybe you’ll be ready for a tasty meal at Lentil As Anything. There’s many places to eat and drink in St Kilda. You can choose a different place with your new friends!

NB Wearing the name badge is optional. The name badge helps the host to associate your face with your name and therefore your host can introduce you with confidence to other event attendees. Name badges are also a good reference for other people who attend the event who may feel embarrassed asking you to repeat your name again.
