Date My Mate @ The Hold - Manly - 1 October

**Friend-powered dating** — where mates gets on the mic and pitch their single friends to the room. **NEW VENUE** **Thursday 1 October, doors 6pm, The Hold, 24 Sydney Rd, Manly.** **HOW IT WORKS** A friend takes the mic for two or three minutes with a short slide deck about why you're a catch. It's funny, it's flattering, and it's a lot less awkward than talking yourself up. Then everyone mingles — you just go up and say "Hi, I liked your pitch". No rotations, no timing, no ratings. ALL WELCOME. Singles and non-singles alike. Singles get a green wristband and everyone else gets an orange wristband! **TICKETS** — booked on our site, not through Meetup: [https://datemymate.au/events/thehold](https://datemymate.au/events/thehold) • MINGLE $49 — Admits one. Come and enjoy the show. Mingle afterwards • PITCH $89 — Admits two. A mate pitches a friend or two mates pitch each other. All tickets include your first two drinks.

SSP WED - Northside Photography Chat

Meet for chat over a drink and snack or dinner. Tonight, if you are in the mood, we can discuss camera setup, technique, editing images or photo critique. If you wish to discuss any aspects of your camera or photography technique, please bring the manual and your camera. You may bring your laptop with your editing software installed & I will bring a laptop with Lightroom Classic installed. We can discuss any aspect of editing your images. Most image editors are similar, so even if using a different editor, the techniques are similar, mainly due to the menu system. Feel free to bring image(s) on a usb stick, SD, microSD memory card or an iPhone that supports Airdrop. Using Lightroom we can work on extracting the story of the image. If you want photo critique, pls bring print, or full size images, preferably not resized, on a usb stick, SD, microSD memory card or an iPhone that supports Airdrop. Please do not ask for a critique on images displayed on a mobile phone, too small a display to be critical. More info on the venue here chatswoodrsl.com.au Plenty of free parking available nearby as well as the bus stop at the door or metro & rail just 50m away.
