Ways to meet
Eleven ways to meet people in real life
Dinner with strangers is our signature, but it’s far from the whole menu. LMTW runs eleven kinds of get-together — from a $5 coffee catch-up to a $120 degustation — any night of the week, in fifteen cities across Australia, the US and the UK. Every one is matched by age range, hosted, and free to book for founding members. Pick your scene.

The full menu, coffee money to the good bottle
Every activity below is a real club format with its own playbook — group size, pacing, and a host who knows how to run it. From-prices are what you’d typically spend at the venue, not a club fee:
Breakfast club
Early birds, big brekkies, and the paper passed around the table.
from $18
Long lunches
Three courses that roll into four o’clock. Nobody checks their watch.
from $45
Dinner parties
Our signature. Six seats, a host, and a conversation menu.
from $59
Games nights
Board game cafés, trivia leagues, cards and mah-jong. Bragging rights included.
from $20
Gigs & live music
Dinner first, then a table near the front. Pub choirs to jazz bars.
from $35
Fine dining
Degustations, white tablecloths, and the good bottle. Go on.
from $120
Pickleball & social sport
Pickleball socials, lawn bowls, padel — then coffee after, always.
from $18
Run clubs
Talking pace, always. Five flat kilometres, then a long black.
from $15
Bushwalks
Waterfalls, lookouts and a bakery stop at the end. Gentle by design.
from $20
Arts outings
Gallery hours, matinees and wine after. Opinions provided on arrival.
from $30How the costs actually work
Two separate things, kept honest: the club booking and the venue spend. Booking a seat costs 12 credits — about $6 from a $25 pack of 50, and free for founding members. That’s the whole club fee. No subscription, no lock-in, credits never expire.
At the venue you pay for what you order, same as any night out — that’s what the from-prices above represent. We never mark up your meal or take a cut of the bill. The only exceptions are real hire or entry costs — like court hire for pickleball or a gallery ticket — and when one applies it’s listed upfront on the event before you book, never sprung on the night.
New here? Start low-stakes
Most members’ first get-together is a coffee catch-up or a games night — ninety minutes, easy exit, instant common ground. Once you’ve got a crew, the longer formats open up: the long lunch that rolls to four o’clock, the bushwalk with the bakery finish, the degustation you’ve been waiting for an excuse to book.

Common questions
What does a get-together actually cost me?
Two parts: 12 credits (about $6, free for founding members) books your seat, and you pay the venue for whatever you order — from a $5 coffee upwards. Real hire or entry costs, like court hire, are listed upfront when they apply. We never mark up the bill.
How big are the groups?
Six at dinner — small enough that everyone talks to everyone. Walks, runs and social sport run larger, with a host per group so nobody gets lost in the crowd.
Who hosts the get-togethers?
Trained club Captains — members who’ve been through our free Captain Academy and host get-togethers in their city. They handle introductions, the conversation menu and the flow, so you can just be a guest.
Can I suggest a new activity?
Please do — members suggest formats all the time, and several of the eleven started that way. If your city’s got a brilliant trivia room or a walk worth sharing, tell the club and we’ll look at adding it.
