I was fortunate to have been invited to the recent Fun, Food and Friendship monthly drinks night held at the Tuscan Bar on the evening before Australia Day. This drinks night had an amazing turnout of around 150 people of all different age groups and backgrounds. This free monthly event is normally held on the last Thursday of any given calendar month. The first drink for members is free and additional drinks and meals are available for purchase.

Fun, Food and Friendship is one great social club that has been in operation in Melbourne for over eight years, and the events and activities on offer are truly testament to this great track record.

The youngest member is 24 years of age, while the oldest member at Fun, Food and Friendship is aged 50 plus. Some of the members I met on the night have either just re-located to Melbourne from another city, and other members have lived in Melbourne for quite some time. Some of the members have only just joined Fun, Food and Friendship; while there are other members who have been members from six weeks to six years who attended the recent monthly drinks night.

Some of the events are included in your membership fee in becoming a Fun, Food and Friendship member while there are other events that require payment at a discounted rate. The events on offer in addition to the monthly drinks nights include trivia nights, cycling, kayaking, ghost tours, abseiling, and comedy nights to only name a few.

The girls will get an opportunity to attend an image workshop with a fully qualified stylist for free as part of their membership in February. Some of the events are run in the city while other events are run around Melbourne.

You may have heard that saying that "you have to kiss a few frogs in order to kiss a prince" when it comes to relationships; and yet this analogy is true with some of Fun, Food and Friendships' current members who have had disappointing experiences with other social clubs in the past. Some of Fun, Food and Friendships' current members used to attend a social club that set them up on a speed dating like experience once a month with people who are usually much older than them. They had to pay their annual membership fee and also pay for the dinners without any follow up from the company afterwards. Or they were involved in corporate social clubs that require payment and get barely any benefits back for joining.

These are the frogs when it comes to social clubs. However: Fun, Food and Friendship to these current members is now a prince. The members I interacted with at the January drinks night strongly felt that they literally hit the social club and leisure jackpot the moment they signed up to Fun, Food and Friendship, and have never looked back. And it was also great to hear about the experiences of the recent events some of the members attended; such as the recent bushwalking activity that was a real hit with many different age groups.

The members of Fun, Food and Friendship are grateful to receive timely reminders and follow up post-event support where feedback and comments are encouraged; you are not just left out in the lurch.

The energy in the room was electric at the Fun, Food and Friendship January drinks night. The feedback some of the members provided me about their experiences of being a social club member was really authentic. I knew their true feelings were coming from the heart. Nothing fake here. People were naturally just having a great time at the Tuscan Bar.

Joining Fun, Food & Friendship is great:

%%To make new friends and meet new people.
