Pre Diwali catch up 🪔 🪔

🪔 Diwali is just around the corner! ✨ What better excuse to get together, meet some new people, have a few laughs and celebrate the festive spirit? Our next group catch-up is Friday, November 6 — so bring your best smile, good vibes, willingness to mingle… and, if you’re feeling it, a little Diwali bling! 😎✨ 📍 Venue: Details coming soon. If you have a preferred location, let me know and I’ll take that into consideration. Please RSVP as soon as you can so I can book a table for everyone. And a small but important request: please only RSVP if you’re genuinely planning to come. Last-minute cancellations make it difficult to organise the group and can spoil things for everyone. Repeated last-minute cancellations/no-shows may mean removal from the group — hopefully something we’ll never need to worry about! 😄 Looking forward to seeing everyone, meeting some new faces and having a great night together. 🥂🪔 Come for the Diwali vibes, stay for the laughs!
