Have you heard about the Starts at 60 Coffee Meetup events?

On the first Tuesday of every month, Starts at 60 community members across Australia and New Zealand, meet up at a local cafe to share coffee, cake, and plenty of great conversation. We understand that once you’ve retired, it can be difficult to make new friends and maintain social connections, and that’s where our coffee events really come into their own. 

Read on for a full list of this month’s events across Australia.

These casual social gatherings are hosted by lovely volunteers in the community, many of whom go above and beyond to arrange additional festivities and fun.

Community members in Loganholme have an exciting social calendar. Carole, the group’s passionate host, has even arranged a special guest speaker for International Women’s Day this March. 

Jenny, who runs the Toowoomba group, goes above and beyond to look after her friends in the community. Here is a lovely snap from their January Coffee Meetup. 

And the Frankston group, organised by Noel, started the new year with a bang, welcoming three new members.

If you can’t see an event near you on the list below, it is really easy to start one. All you need to do to host is provide a few details to us, and book a suitable cafe for that date. On the day before the event, we tally up the RSVPs and let you know how many people to expect. It really is that simple! If you’re interested, please email events@startsat60.com for more information.
