Come with friends or come alone. **Most people at Linguas events are there because they want to meet new people.** *** ## 📍 EVENT DETAILS 📅 **Sunday 11 October** 🕔 **5:00 PM – 9:00 PM** 📍 **Strike Melbourne Central** 🎟️ **$20 per person** *** ## 🎟️ WHAT DOES YOUR $20 INCLUDE? ### 🔫 Unlimited Laser Tag Play as many times as you like throughout the event.\* Make a team with people you've just met, challenge your friends or jump into another group. ### 🎯 Unlimited Interactive Darts Not normal pub darts. Strike's Interactive Darts combines a real dartboard with digital games, automatic scoring and different challenges. Play casually or see who gets unnecessarily competitive. ### *** ## 🎳 WHAT ABOUT BOWLING? Bowling is available throughout the night but **is not included in the $20 ticket**. If you want to bowl, you can organise and pay for a game separately at Strike. You don't have to bowl to attend. *** ## 🌏 AN INTERNATIONAL SOCIAL Social Games Night is organised by **Linguas Australia**, bringing locals and internationals together in Melbourne.

Coffee, Language Exchange & Make New Friends in Melbourne ☕🌏

Looking to meet new people in Melbourne, practise a language, or simply enjoy a relaxed coffee and some friendly conversations? ☕🌏 Join **Melbourne Global Circle** for another afternoon of coffee, conversation, language exchange and making new friends from around the world. This event is perfect if you’re **new to Melbourne, an international student, on a working holiday or temporary visa, recently moved here, or simply looking to expand your social circle and meet people from different cultures.** You don’t need to be fluent in another language, and you definitely don’t need to come with a friend. Many people come to these events on their own. **⏰ 1:00 PM – 2:30 PM** **📍 The Alley Edition — 20 Howey Pl, Melbourne VIC 3000** **📍 Meeting Point** **The Alley Edition** 20 Howey Pl, Melbourne VIC 3000 The café is located in the **fully covered Howey Place laneway**, so we won’t have to worry too much about Melbourne’s unpredictable rain or wind. We can grab a takeaway coffee and enjoy our conversations in the sheltered laneway whatever the weather decides to do! The café itself is quite small and may be busy, so we’ll mostly be **standing, mingling and chatting in the lovely historic laneway outside the café.** **☕ How the meetup works** To make conversations easier and give everyone an opportunity to speak and get to know each other, we’ll split into **smaller groups of around 6–8 people**. You’re welcome to move between groups during the meetup so you can meet different people. There’ll be plenty of opportunities to: ☕ Enjoy coffee, matcha and relaxed conversation 🌏 Meet people from different countries and cultures 🗣️ Practise English or another language 🤝 Make new friends in Melbourne 😊 Meet others who may also be coming alone **Coming alone or feeling a little shy?** Absolutely fine. If you’re **introverted, shy, new to Meetup, or attending your first social event**, feel free to come and say hi to me (my name is Liem) when you arrive. I’ll be happy to introduce you to a few people and help you get into a conversation. You definitely won’t be the only person coming alone. There’s **no formal networking and no pressure to be super outgoing or speak perfect English**. Just come as you are, grab a coffee and join the conversation. The goal is simple: **have some good conversations, meet a few new people, and hopefully leave with some new friends in Melbourne.** 🌏 Come alone or bring a friend — everyone is welcome. Looking forward to meeting you! ☕🌏🤝

African Music & Cultural Festival Night at Fed Square

Join me for opening night of the African Music & Cultural Festival (AMCF) at Fed Square! It's a free festival celebrating music, food and culture from across Africa. It's a great chance to try dishes and hear music you might not go looking for on your own, and exploring it together makes it easy to swap tastes, share finds and actually get chatting. We'll meet outside Clocks at Flinders at 6:00pm and say hi, then head over to Fed Square at 6:15pm. From there we'll stick together as a group, wander the festival and grab dinner from the food stalls. The City of Melbourne listing describes Friday as an evening of African-Australian films, live music, spoken word and food, so we'll take in whatever's on as we go. We'll wrap up around 8:30pm. Entry is free, and food is pay-your-own at the stalls. This is a casual social meetup so we can head along together. It isn't run by or affiliated with the African Music & Cultural Festival or Fed Square. **Who this is for** * Anyone curious about African food, music and culture, whether it's all new to you or close to home * People who enjoy wandering a festival, trying a few dishes and chatting along the way * Anyone happy to be in a lively, busy outdoor crowd * If you'd prefer a quiet sit-down dinner where it's easy to hear each other, this one probably isn't for you. Keep an eye out for our lunch and dinner meetups instead * Solo attendees are very welcome **Links** * Meetup start point: https://maps.app.goo.gl/hRjkSw3xKF9Lqjar7 * African Music & Cultural Festival: https://www.amcf.org.au/ * City of Melbourne festival listing: https://whatson.melbourne.vic.gov.au/things-to-do/african-music-and-cultural-festival **Timeline** * 6:00pm – Meet outside Clocks at Flinders and say hi * 6:15pm – Head over to Fed Square to explore the festival and grab food together * 8:30pm – Meetup finishes **Tickets / cost** * Entry is free. The City of Melbourne listing says no booking is required * Food and drinks are at your own cost, paid directly at the stalls **Bring** * Money or a card for food stalls * Comfortable shoes for standing and wandering * A light layer for when it cools down in the evening * A water bottle **Expect** * Difficulty: Easy, mostly standing and short walks * Pace: A relaxed wander through the festival * Vibe: Lively, colourful and busy, with music and plenty of food * Group style: We'll stay together as one group and eat together, so there's time to chat between tastes rather than everyone drifting off on their own **Important notes** * This is an independent social meetup. It isn't organised by, affiliated with or endorsed by the African Music & Cultural Festival or Fed Square. Your RSVP here is just so I know who's coming * The festival program and stalls are set by the organisers, so check amcf.org.au closer to the day for the latest * It's an outdoor event, so please dress for the weather * Festivals can get crowded, so keep an eye on your belongings and look after yourself * If your plans change, please update your RSVP so numbers stay clear

Social Walk, Language Exchange & Make New Friends in Melbourne 🌏🚶

Looking to meet new people, practise languages and explore Melbourne on foot? Join us for a relaxed evening social walk along the Yarra and through Docklands! 🌏🚶‍♀️ Whether you’re new to Melbourne, an international student, working holiday maker, expat, local, or simply looking to expand your social circle, everyone is welcome. This isn’t a formal language class — it’s a casual social walk where you can practise English or other languages naturally while chatting, walking and getting to know people from different backgrounds. 📅 ⏰ **6:00 PM** 📍 **Meeting Point: In front of Hamer Hall** 100 St Kilda Rd, Southbank VIC 3004 **Please note:** We will start moving at 6:10pm sharp so please arrive on time. Once our group starts walking, I won't be able to keep up with the messages. **📍 How to find us** Hamer Hall is **directly opposite Flinders Street Station**. From Flinders Street Station, cross Princes Bridge toward Southbank and you’ll reach Hamer Hall in around 2 minutes. We’ll meet outside the front of Hamer Hall before starting the walk together. * *Please arrive a few minutes early so you have time to introduce yourself and meet the group before we start walking. Once the group starts moving, I may not be able to keep up with messages, so please make sure you arrive on time.* **🚶 Our Walk** We’ll start at Hamer Hall, walk along the Yarra River through Southbank, continue toward Webb Bridge and Docklands, enjoy the waterfront paths, then make our way back toward Southern Cross Station via Marvel Stadium. The full walk will be approximately **5 km**, mostly flat and at a comfortable social walking pace. The idea is simple: get some steps in, enjoy Melbourne in the evening, practise languages and make some new connections along the way. **🌏 Coming alone? Perfect!** Most people at our events come on their own, so don’t worry if you don’t know anyone. If you’re introverted, shy, new to Meetup or attending your first social event, feel free to come straight over and say hi to me (my name is Liem). I’ll be happy to introduce you to others and help get the conversation started. We’ll naturally mix and chat with different people as we walk, so there will be plenty of opportunities to meet someone new. You don’t need to speak perfect English, and there’s no pressure to be super outgoing. Just come as you are and enjoy some friendly conversations. 😊 **👟 What to bring** Wear comfortable walking shoes and bring some water. Melbourne weather can change quickly, so it’s also worth checking the forecast before coming. **⚠️ A quick note** This is a casual community social walk. By attending, you acknowledge that you are responsible for your own safety, belongings and wellbeing during the event. Please follow pedestrian rules, be mindful around roads, cyclists and other path users, and participate at your own comfort level. If you RSVP in advance, please **check the event page again on the day**, as the route, meeting arrangements or event details may be updated if weather conditions require it. Come for the walk, stay for the conversations, and hopefully leave with a few new friends. 🌏🤝 **See you Thursday evening!**
