Our December Drop
Our final social events for 2026 are live!
Alongside our already-announced Festive socials, we will be catching up in Cremorne, St Peters and Gordon for a mix of food, comedy and arcade games.

It's online time
We've also got more online socials on the cards for the last month of the year
First up in December, we invite anyone with a passion for singing to join our online open mic night! Bring your fav song and your best singing voice for what will be a fun night of music.
Then later in the month, you can get into the Christmas spirit with a session of carols and much loved Christmas songs.

The halfway point
For those looking for something a bit sooner, there are still some events available in October.
You can join us in Wahroonga, Eastwood, Hornsby, Terrigal, Erskineville and Campbelltown as we catch up for a concert, a festival, a movie, takeaways, an inclusive rave and a ghost parade.
Please note our Auburn, Luna Park and Summer Hill events are now sold out. You can join the waitlist for these events and we will let you know if a spot becomes available.

Remember, remember, we still have November
It's all happening next month too, with online socials and a few in-person opportunities to catch up:
Beginning with our face-to-face offerings, in November we’ll be catching up with buddies in Cammeray, Kingsford, Liverpool, Tuggerah, Concord and Ashfield.
We invite buddies to join us for the final month of spring as we catch up for sushi, live music, dinner, board games, arcades, musical bingo and karaoke.
We will also host two online socials per month moving forward - taking place on select Monday nights between 7 - 8pm.
To kick things off, Carol will be live from London - taking buddies on an virtual tour of The Bayeux Tapestry. Join us for a virtual exploration of one of the world’s most famous historical objects.
Then later in the month, we invite buddies to join us online to test your knowledge in a fun trivia session!
