Hi All

I have found the "After Work Social Club" based in the Sydney CBD. It looks a bit,, well make your own mind up but with Quote: "Among the highlights have been formal balls, fancy dress parties, the Sydney Harbour Bridge climb, wine tasting in the Hunter Valley and Mudgee" and "city drinks nights in upmarket hotels".

Now the wine tasting I could get in on but gala formal balls and city drinks nights.. Well I am not sure so I though I would enquire and ask if anyone else has attended a night or even joined up?


Many Thanks


Alex

Go to the Sydney thu drinks meetup, there you can enjoy a drink with a group of versatile people from all ages and backgrounds

It sounds like a load of champagne charlies getting a bit above themselves to me...but then again I can be a bit socialist at times!!
AS Mark said, thursday nigth CBD drinks with expats (for that read relatively normal people) will get you into a good crowd whilst at the same time exploring the differing hostelries within the CBD...and there are lots!

Yeah I walked past and had a sneaky peek and its the "I am stunning, stylish and f-ing amazing at my job, just ask me how good I f-ing am" the type that is about 30sec from a stamping feet child like while screaming "look at me, look at me I made all this effort and bought all these designer cloths" brigade.

Why sit on the fence, you only get a sore arse.

i think i went to this in 2nd week here and it was awful!! full of older desperate people. they tried to get me to join up there and then. they had some photos of their previous formal balls at xmas and were showing me the pictures as if i would never have been to one!!!

When I first got here, I went and had a sneaky peak at the thursday CBD group from this board. They looked like a bunch of drunken reprobates with the dress sense of a group of animals.

So I joined them

Fair play, hows it going for?

Its been going for about years think, Swerv-o will know since he started it. I was a bit worried it would be a load of sad freaks with the social skills of a cockroach...... and I was right, so I'm a regular know!

alexswift

Ha that's not the same group and Nathan aka Swerv-o
