You'll meet your host, get settled, enjoy your FREE welcome drink and meet the other attendees. The hosted experience starts at 6:00 PM, so arriving late means missing some of the conversation rounds and introductions. 6:00 PM – 7:30 PM – Fast Friends ❤️ This is the main part of the evening. For 90 minutes, you'll take part in our hosted, themed conversation rounds. You'll move between different people and different conversations, giving you plenty of opportunities to meet and connect with people you might not otherwise have spoken to. 7:30 PM – 8:00 PM – Continue socialising with your host At 7:30 PM, ABBA's Back LIVE begins, but our host remains with the group for another 30 minutes.

You are very welcome to stay until 9:00 PM. Enjoy ABBA's Back LIVE, dance, grab a drink and continue chatting with the new friends you've made. The final hour is unhosted, so you can enjoy the party at your own pace. 🌟 First Time? Perfect! Many people come on their own, and lots of attendees are joining Fast Friends for the first time. You don't need to know anyone beforehand. Our host will guide the conversation rounds and help make introductions, creating a relaxed environment where meeting people feels natural rather than forced. Members from our other 7 Sydney Meetup communities also attend many of our events, helping create a larger and more diverse social group. For over 10 years, Fast Friends has been bringing people together through hosted social events in 30+ cities worldwide, helping thousands of people build genuine friendships. Come for Fast Friends.

WIPA presents - Pouring Change: Women, Wine & Welcome with Amelia Birch

This month we will hear from Amelia Birch and her experience working in a male dominated field, and how our decisions may have been influenced. Amelia Birch is the Owner and Sommelier of Famelia Wine Bar & Bottle Shop on Enmore Road, Newtown - a hybrid venue dedicated exclusively to wines made by women. With more than 20 years’ experience spanning hospitality, wine, business operations, marketing, events and communications, Amelia brings an intuitive, customer-focused and deeply human approach to wine service. Her career has been shaped by a belief that wine should feel welcoming rather than intimidating, grounded in listening, connection and exploration. Early formative years at Sydney’s Glass Brasserie sparked her love of wine through daily tastings and mentorship from industry leaders, where she learned that great wine service isn’t about knowing everything... It's about curiosity and matching the right wine to the right person. Famelia was born from Amelia’s desire to create a safe, inclusive space for learning and discovery, while actively addressing the gender imbalance within the wine industry, where women make up just 16% of winemakers globally. Through curated wine flights, education-led events and a thoughtfully selected bottle shop, Amelia champions women winemakers, women-led wineries and woman+ teams who are too often overlooked. Her work sits at the intersection of advocacy and hospitality: supporting women makers, challenging industry norms, and proving that exceptional wine experiences can be both accessible and values-driven. Above all, Amelia is passionate about creating environments where people feel confident asking questions, expanding their palates, and finding joy in wine on their own terms. Please ensure your RSVP is up to date as there will be limited spaces available in this location, and no shows will be unfair on other attendees.

Harbour After Dark

**Harbour After Dark 🌆** ### **Where meaningful conversations, genuine connection, and new friendships begin.** Step into a different kind of Friday night. Harbour After Dark brings together professionals, business owners and people who are intentional about creating a full and meaningful life. It is for those who value genuine conversation, authentic connection and spending time with others who are also looking to build enriching relationships and a strong sense of community. In a world of Zoom calls, remote work, endless scrolling and busy schedules, many of us are craving something more human. A chance to step away from the screens. To unwind after the week. To meet new people naturally. To enjoy conversations that feel easy, genuine and energising. As life becomes busier, it is easy to realise that while we know plenty of people, we do not always have a community where we can simply show up, relax and enjoy being ourselves. Harbour After Dark was created to be that place. A place where familiar faces become friends, new conversations happen naturally and connection grows over time. Over the past few years, Harbour After Dark has grown into a well-established monthly gathering where people come to expand their social circles, reconnect with familiar faces and meet new people in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. Many of our guests have been attending for years and often bring friends along, while new faces join every month, making it easy to feel welcome whether it is your first event or your tenth. Whether you come on your own or with a friend, you will be welcomed into a relaxed and friendly environment where meaningful conversations happen naturally. There is no pressure to network or impress anyone. Just an opportunity to enjoy the company of good people and finish the week surrounded by genuine connection. ## **Event Details** 📅 **Friday 4 September** 🕡**6:30 pm to 9:30 pm** **Novotel Darling Square Hotel** 📍 17 Little Pier St, Darling Harbour NSW 2000 ## **Reserve Your Ticket** Please reserve your ticket in advance via Eventbrite: **[https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1996920395659?aff=oddtdtcreator](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1996920395659?aff=oddtdtcreator)** ## **Dress Code** We encourage you to make an effort and dress with confidence. Think stylish, polished and relaxed rather than formal. ## **Food and Drinks** Drinks, cocktails, wine, beer, coffee and meals are available for purchase throughout the evening. ## **Reserve Your Ticket** Places are limited, so please reserve your ticket in advance through Eventbrite. If your plans change after reserving your ticket, I would really appreciate you letting me know so your place can be offered to someone else. ## **Our Community** Harbour After Dark has never been about hosting just another social event. It was created to build a community where people feel welcome, conversations happen naturally and genuine friendships have the opportunity to grow. Kindness, respect and inclusiveness are at the heart of every event, and we ask all guests to contribute to the warm and welcoming atmosphere that makes Harbour After Dark so special. Photography and videography may take place during the evening for use across our website, social media and promotional material. By attending, you acknowledge and consent to this. If you would prefer not to appear in photos or videos, this event may not be the right fit for you. I look forward to welcoming you. **Cristina Davy**

Books and Bevvies

Welcome to **Books & Bevvies** — a casual book swap and drinks social in the Sydney CBD. This is not a book club with homework. It’s a simple, low-key way to meet people, chat about what you’ve been reading, and walk out with something new. **HOW IT WORKS** Bring a book you’re happy to part with. Pop it on the swap table when you arrive. Mingle, chat, and swap recommendations. When the swap opens, take a book that catches your eye. Stay for a drink and a conversation after. **WHAT TO BRING** One book, any genre and any reading level. **GOOD TO KNOW** The venue relies on accurate numbers for staffing, so if you can’t make it, please change your RSVP to “not going”. Repeated no-shows may result in removal from the group. The venue is kindly not enforcing a minimum spend, but please support them by buying a drink, soft drink, or some lunch during the swap if you can. There is no mandatory entry fee, but voluntary contributions are **very much** appreciated. The group costs around **$65 a month to keep running**, so if you enjoy the swap and are in a position to chip in, even $5 or $10 makes a real difference. I’ll have a jar near the sign-in list on the day. Please feel free to contribute at any stage through the swap. **WHERE WE’LL BE** We’ll be in the Market Street Garden Bar, with a table full of books and bevvies.
