Dinners-for-6 process:

• Each month, Gold members will be emailed a Dinner Planner email which shows the dates for the month that dinners will be planned on. Members will normally attend 1 dinner each month (however they sometimes may be invited to attend additional dinners in a month).

• Tick as many dates that you are available for to potentially have a dinner planned. The more you tick, the greater your chance of a dinner that is going to be terrific.

• Check your emails regularly for your next dinner invite. We try our best to invite you to dinner on your nominated dates only, however, if we have a group of members we believe you will enjoy meeting who are available on a night that is not nominated by you, we may invite you with the hope you may be able to attend. 

• To confirm your attendance at the dinner, you will be required to pay a $33 Dinner Admin Fee. For current Gold and Platinum members, this fee will be refunded to you at the end of your membership (if you attend the dinner). For other attendees, this is the dinner planning fee.

• Finally, a confirmation email with the venue details will be sent to you once all members have confirmed for the dinner. We only choose the venue once all diners have responded, to be sure that we cater for individual allergies and preferences. 

• Attend and have hopefully a fabulous night! 

• Check your emails the next day to receive your feedback email. Reply to us again if possible within 48 hours to give us your feedback on the evening. It is important to help us to continue to provide the best service possible that we receive your valuable feedback. If any phone number exchanges are requested, we will contact guests as soon as possible however we do ask that you are very clear when expressing your desire to exchange numbers. As we facilitate dozens of exchanges every week we require clear instruction of our members’ requests so that we can deliver the best service to you!

​

Other dinner points:

• Occasionally you may dine with members (male and female) that you have previously met. You can also specifically request to dine with members you have previously met! We guarantee you will always meet at least two people of the opposite gender at each dinner that you have not dined with before.

• One of our only rules is ‘No asking for phone numbers or dates on the night’ (on the dinners-for-6).

• We predominately use restaurants in the surrounding suburbs of the CBD typically North Adelaide, Norwood, Kensington and Parkside. 

• Dinners usually start at 7:00pm, however they may start at 6:30 or 7:30 depending on the restaurant and day.

• You pay your own food and beverage costs to the restaurant, with individual bills for just what you have ordered.

• Most diners will be 'similar age' to you, but occasionally there may be someone older or younger if we think they're a good fit. ('Similar age' means roughly within 5yrs if you're 30, 7yrs if you're 50, and 10yrs if you're 70.)

• Sometimes we can't fill a dinner with just current Gold members who are interested and available on that night, or we have a member cancel at the last minute. Rather than cancel the whole dinner, or have it be a dinner for only 5, we try our best to fill the spare seat with a suitable fantastic single. We will consider inviting a current member on another membership level, a past member who isn't financial but is still single, or a potential new member who we've met and they wish to 'come and try'. 

• If something unexpected prevents you from attending the dinner, please call or text our office on 0401 784 988 (24/7) to advise us. 

• If we can't book you a dinner for a month, your membership will be extended another month.

​

​Events:

• Upcoming event emails are sent weekly. If you're not receiving them, check your spam emails and mark Social8 as 'not spam', or let us know.

• Most events are for members only (being Social8 paid memberships of Silver, Gold or Platinum, or for the unpaid Bronze membership). Others are open for Guests (which include the Meetup Adelaide-Social-Singles). If the website lets you book a ticket, then you're good to go!

• Some events have a target age, while others are all-ages. Any target ages are a guideline only - feel free to attend if you want. 

• Upfront payment is required to book tickets for most events. We do allow payments at-the-door for our larger events (subject to capacity).  

• If you can’t find the group at the event, please call us (0401 784 988).

• We encourage number exchanges at our large mixed events due to the volume of non-members present. Occasionally our non-members do not provide us with a phone number prior to booking preventing us from being able to facilitate exchanges post event - but we will certainly try!

• We always appreciate feedback! If you loved something (or didn't) send us a quick email. After all - the events are for YOU.

​

Refunds:

• Events are usually for small numbers and people not showing up can really throw out that balance. We understand that sometimes things in life happen beyond our control - sickness, accidents, work, family. Unfortunately, none of that matters to the other people who are at the event - they just see an empty seat. So whilst we understand, an absence (for whatever reason) is still an absence. 

  • If, close to the event date, we can see we won't get the right gender balance or minimum numbers, we will cancel the event.

  • If we cancel or postpone an event for any reason, we will offer you a full refund.

  • If you book a ticket and just don't show, we not give you a refund. (And we'll think poorly of you!)

  • If you book and ticket and cancel before the event, we will try to resell you ticket. If we do, we will refund a portion (usually the amount of the food/drink inclusions - at our discretion). If we can't resell the ticket, we won't be able to give you a refund.

 

Events Inclusions:

• Each event will list what your ticket includes.

  • Meal or drink credits: usually given to you cash, so it can be used (or not used) for anything, including soft drinks.

  • Attendance bond: usually given to you as cash on arrival. Sometimes it can also be refunded back to your payment method (PayPal or credit card)
