EVENT COST:

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

Whether you're expanding your social circle, new in town, or simply love great conversations, this event ensures meaningful connections without the awkwardness. Fast-friending takes the pressure off, allowing you to engage with others in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. Expect a night of laughter, engaging chats, and the chance to form lasting friendships effortlessly!

Here's how your evening is planned -

- We will meet at 7.00 pm when you will be welcomed by your host Ummy. He will manage the evening and also help you make connections.

If you are a bit shy or anxious then please come early. Ummy 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.

- From 7.30 to 8.30 pm, we will start 'Fast Friending' where our host will ask you to speak to a different attendee every 3 minutes. You will be able to meet lots of ladies and gentlemen and not be limited to only those sitting or standing next you.

- After 8.30 pm you will have time to interact with those you have met as well as others.

- 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 25 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! You will naturally gel with others of your own age range and so you will always find many attendees who fit your range.

- We are not a 'dating' group. We are focused on helping ladies and gents meet other like minded ladies and gents. You will generally find a good gender balance (maybe not perfect) at all our events.

Why do we have tickets?

1. Cover our costs - Our host is compensated for their time and work. We also pay meetup and have dedicated staff to manage our events, hosts, venues and communication.
2. Group Safety - By securing your ticket we have a record and you contribute to a well organized evening where everyone is more committed and better behaved.
3. Management - Tickets help us better manage attendee group size, book suitable space and activity.
