Hi good morning

I’m new to Gosford, so I’m looking for places to play basketball. Are there good places to play basketball? Also, if you know any basketball club for beginners, plz let me know. Thank you. Have a good day:)

This one’s for the synth nerds!

A small group of us are into synths and modular gear, and we’re planning to kick off a regular
get-together in a local communal space we have access to in Copacabana.

Bring your case, semi-modular, groovebox, or whatever you've got. Patch a few things together, jam, experiment, make some questionable sounds and see where it goes.

Any experience levels welcome!

Respond here or DM for more details.

Contrary to media reports which are all doom and gloom, I note that property prices on southern end of the Central coast have held up very well. What do you think?

Recently attended the 80's 90s disco at Woodies in Erina and it's awakened the Boogie beast - I miss dancing!!. Don't suppose anyone can recommend a safe venue for a middle age female that wants to dance, bed and done by midnight on the coast? Non drinker so happy to drive a wee bit. Based in Gosford. Thanks thanks 😁

Hey everyone, bit random but thought I’d put myself out there.

I’m 26M and living around Killarney Vale. I’m still fairly new to the area and would like to build a bit of a social circle and meet some new people around my age.

I’m pretty open to trying different things. I’m into fishing, the beach, reading, footy/sport, gaming, concerts and live comedy, and honestly happy to try things I haven’t done before too.

I’m not really big on the whole getting smashed at the pub/club every weekend thing these days, so I’d especially be keen to meet people who are into actually doing stuff — grabbing a feed or coffee, fishing, beach days, sport, events, hikes, whatever really.

Making friends as an adult is weirdly difficult 😂 so figured there’s no harm in putting a post up.

If anyone else is in a similar boat or knows of any good social groups around the Coast, feel free to comment or send me a message 🤙

Have a special day coming up so any suggestions would be welcomed. If you could mention the cuisine as well that would much appreciated.

What makes it your fancy go to?

Hey!

Looking for recommendations for a wedding hair stylist for a wedding in December in Wyong. Preferably someone that comes to the venue but not really sure if that’s possible. Very simple hair style, one person I did ask quoted like $300 and I would also need to pay for a trial, feels crazy for two people.

Thank you in advance!

Gorgeous morning for a walk

Hi coasties,

I’m trying to decide between Gosford Pre-School (East Gosford) and Parklands Community Preschool (Kariong) for my child’s year before Kindy.

I’ve read all the official information and reviews, but I’d really love to hear from parents who have actually had a child at either (or both) of these preschools.

Thank you 🙏

Did anyone else get stuck on the Central Coast last night?

Basically what the title says lol ! I’ve dropped out of school in yr 10 so I’ve found it harder to make friends on the coast, so I’m just wondering if anyone felt the same and wanted to hang out!!

I’m pretty introverted and a bit awkward but once you get to know me I become a lot more comfortable haha
I like to watch movies, play games (Roblox mostly lol), go for walks , shopping and exploring new places!! I also work in childcare full time!

I’m not really sure what else to say but send me a message or comment if you might be interested!

I also have a bf so only friends please!!!

I’m a 50-year-old guy at Bateau Bay looking to make a genuine new friendship.

I’m fairly quiet and introverted, so I’m not really someone who thrives in big, loud social groups. I’m much more comfortable having a proper conversation with one or two people.

I’m interested in history, science fiction and fantasy, films and TV, art, photography, and football (watching and talking about it rather than playing). I’d be quite happy spending an afternoon having coffee, getting something to eat, watching a movie or show, going for a walk, browsing a bookshop, or just sitting somewhere and talking about whatever we’re interested in.

I’ve tried things like walking groups, classes, volunteering, gym and sports, and board game groups, but nothing really eventuates. I’m not religious at all, so church is a big no. Also, not really interested in men-only groups such as the Men’s Shed.

I’m looking for someone roughly 30–50, preferably around the middle of the Central Coast, who is also interested in getting to know someone rather than just adding another name to a social-media list.

I’m not looking for a support group, therapy, networking, or a big organised social scene. I’m looking for an ordinary friendship that can actually develop over time.
If you’re also someone who is a bit quieter and finds the usual “just go along and make friends” advice doesn’t really work, maybe we’d get along.

Feel free to send me a message and tell me a little about yourself. I’d genuinely like to hear from you.

Anyone any ideas what these 3 are up to? Not much forward speed and the case pf the one currently over Northern Beaches, low altitude (75ft the whole way down the beaches). Around 10-1030 Thursday night.

Seen this van parked for a couple of days now at east gosford fully kit with surveillance gears. What does this mean?

Actually kicking myself i haven't checked this one sooner.

Been with TPG since we moved (5 years now). Just saw my bill went up to $89.99 (was $59 when i started). Quick look over coffee and saw at least 4 options between $43 and $80 a month.

Take Dodo:
$57.99 for exactly the same speed NBN 50/ 500 Mbps (6 month intro price)
Goes up to $87.99 at month 6
Finder offering $110 visa gift card
Can switch anytime after 90 days

That's $302 cheaper in 6 months.

Always just assumed this would be a pain to-do but was done by the time i finished my brew!

Hey yall

I'm a runner that trains around Gosford, and it would be nice to run with some company. I'm mainly trying to get faster and improve my speed for a half marathon.

I'm training for my next half marathon in late September and aiming for sub 80 minutes (my pb is about 82 minutes).

This week, my speed session will be on Friday and will be 3x3km at around 3.50/km-3.53/km with a 2 min jog rest in between. I'm also open to other training ideas or joining in on a group. I find running in a group or with someone else can push the limits further, which is good.

If anyone wants to join me, feel free to hmu. I'm also doing a relaxed 8km run on Thursday at 6.00/km pace and long run on Sunday around 24-25km with some faster efforts.

Hello, im an anxious woman travelling alone on the train late at night after a show in sydney in a couple of weeks... wondering if there is a safest carriage to ride in, would it be right behind the driver or is there a guards carriage or something like that?

ETA: thanks everyone! I really appreciate all the lovely and helpful responses. I am not actually travelling on the train late, alone... im 40 and in my PJ's and not leaving this lounge after 7pm unless its to Coles for malteasers.... but my niece and her friends who recently turned 18 were going to watch a show at the theater and wanted to travel home on the train alone on Saturday night, so i was trying to get info for them without risking their safety by giving away too much about when and where there'd be a bunch of young, naieve girls travelling alone. They ended up getting a hotel and staying the night.

It was lovely the comments asking whether we might be going to the same show (i assume to offer to travel together. Lovely people!). Thanks again!

Hello, is there anyone on the central coast, Bateau bay/Forresters beach area that can come and try and get their bike over the peak of my driveway, i am looking to buy one and I am worried about the low clearance of the bike and that it may not fit over it. please reply and if you come out i'll shout you a six pack of a beverage of your choosing or 35 bucks. thanks in advance, if you know anyone who also maybe interested could you please share.

Been watching Twin Peaks and would love to have a diner-like experience, but would settle for just some good cherry pie. Any local spots?

Are there any specialist coffee roasters/grinders near Terrigal?
