You want to meet people to a) go out to bars, b) go to a restaurant, c) something other than sitting at home on a friday night, then this group is for you.

In the heart of one of the most over-sexualised countries comes a group for you, the asexual. I created this group for my fellow Aces to discuss whatever is on our minds, inspire one another with intellectual conversation, and generally just hang out. Each of our events will have a theme in order to kick off a conversation. They won't be locked into a specific topic, as I believe a good conversation must veer off course once in a while. Pull up a chair, grab a pint, and enjoy the company!

Do you enjoy relaxing and reading a book? I know I do! I want this group to be about good company and intellectual conversation with people who share my passion for books. We will meet once a month!
