50+ Speed Friending, Vancouver WA

\\We'll be glad to see you! Check-in will start at 5:45. Round one will begin at 6:00. We're doing away with the ticket requirement and making participation first-come, first-served, in the event that attendance becomes enormous and our creativity does not result in a better solution. There is one flight of stairs to climb, and no elevator, unfortunately. But we'll be glad to help anyone up the stairs!\\

Making new friends as an adult can be hard, especially after retirement. We’re trying to make it easier and a lot more fun!

Our speed friending meetups are a fast, fun way to meet other people and make some new friends.

YOU CAN BE YOUNGER THAN 60! - WE'RE INCLUSIVE!

I (Josh) am 45 and have lots of friends who are over 60. I'm hosting, but I'd also go just to make a new friend of two!

Speed friending is just like speed dating (but completely different . . .)!
You’ll have a series of short, relaxed conversations with different people, with (often offbeat) questions or conversation starters to keep things lively.

Afterward, there’s time to hang out, have a drink or a bite to eat, and continue talking with people you connected with.

Come by yourself (if you like). In fact, that’s exactly what this is designed for! You don’t need to be especially outgoing, and you don’t need to already know anyone.

If you prefer, bring family or friends! We love having couples and friends groups here too!
The goal is simple: get people off their phones, talking face-to-face, laughing, and hopefully leaving with a few new people they’d genuinely like to see again.

This is a friendship and social group, not a dating group.

Drinking is never the point, and alcohol is completely optional.

Because many events will be held at pubs, some individual events may be limited to ages 21+.

This group is geared toward adults. Any participants under the age of 18 would have to be accompanied by a parent or guardian, and would have to join us on an occasion when the venue allows minors.

Join us and meet some new people! It will be fun!
