We’re covering all points on the Sydney and Central Coast compass as we connect with buddies in Petersham, Waverley, The Entrance, Campbeltown, Willoughby, Hornsby, Brookvale, the CBD and Liverpool.

No room at the inn
Please note, our two remaining February outings - TGI Fridays at Macquarie Centre (21/2) and karaoke and dinner in Oatley (28/2) - have both sold out.
The month so far
On the subject of our February offerings, we’ve already facilitated six this month: burgers and arcades (Edmondson Park), dinner (Blacktown), our under-35s Holey Moley gathering (Alexandria), Super Bowl LIX (Surry Hills), the movies (Hornsby) and Mardi Gras Field Day (CBD).

Team America
Last week we shared news of our recent catch up with the team from Ability Matters.
Based in Columbus, Ohio, Ability Matters is an organisation that facilitates and supports their clients to travel to other countries and experience different cultures.
Following their January visit to Sydney, they’re returning with 40 clients next month - and we’re hosting a joint social to mark the occasion.
To join us for an evening of lawn bowls, burgers and the chance to meet our American friends, jump on the link above.
Medicare Mental Health Centres
And lastly, the Australian Government is working in partnership with states and territories to establish Medicare Mental Health Centres across Australia. The centres provide a safe and welcoming place for anyone to access free, quality mental health care over extended hours.
The Medicare Mental Health Centres are staffed by a team of highly qualified mental health professionals and people with lived experience of mental health. They will listen and work with you to provide you with the care you need.
Support through the centres is free. You do not need a Medicare card, appointment or a GP referral.
The centres provide free, immediate, short and medium-term care to anyone. They aim to make it easier for anyone living in Australia to access equitable, free, and quality mental health support closer to home.
