What we’re about
Welcome to The Expats Club of Singapore!
This is a group for people who would like to find new relationships and make new
friends in one of the most vibrant cities! It is open to singles and couples of all ages. We also welcome locals and long term residents with a global/expatriate mindset. I am hoping that we can meet for drinks, dine out and go on holidays!
It would be wonderful to build new connections and relationships and make our lives that much more fruitful and fun. Join us and change your life and ours!

Here you can see everyone from different cultures and races meeting and having a great time and this is what we tend to achieve everytime we host!
Here is how we will do things differently -
Ever since covid has occurred the world has changed ways in how we function and operate. Meeting people of various cultures has become difficult with various restrictions and with online events people rarely have the opportunity of meeting face to face and this results in not getting the right opportunity to meet in person.
We will always have hosts at all our events. You will always be greeted by someone
at all our events and introduced to others. (Warm & welcoming hosts to help you
mingle!)
Click on the link to know 6 key reasons why you should attend our meetups!
We will minimize no shows by requiring attendees to pay a deposit in advance. No
shows are misleading and not fun for organizers nor for members.
We will not disguise organization costs in opaque ticket prices, commissions from
bars or inflated set menu prices.
We will instead ask for a small charge to help us manage the group and its activities. (Very transparent)
We will strive to attract a high quality membership who prefer higher quality
venues and events. We will not be driven by happy hours, free food etc (as all
of these are eventually balanced out by much higher prices later)
We will constantly request members to help us host events and take a lead on
activities so that we have energy and variety.

I very much hope that you will join us and create a vibrant social community!

See all- Fast Friending - the fastest way to make new friends! (18-40/Happy Hours/Hosted)Alchemy Bistro - Craft Beers and Great Vibes!, Singapore
Will your life change if you met just one lady or gentleman with who you really connect? Will it be completely transformed if you meet more? Could they be your next best friend, your life partner, your next employer or your next business partner?
If you don't meet new people you will never know and never meet them. Give yourself the opportunity and join us. Yes, it may change your life!
'Fast friending' is our fun and quick way to help you make new connections quickly with both ladies and gentlemen. These are people in the age group of 18 and 40 and so you will be on a similar wavelength.
Here’s how our Fast Friending works:-
- We will meet at 7.00 and have time to get settle down and get a drink.- From about 7.30 to 8.30 we will run the fast friending system. Half of the group (mixed gender) will stay in a fixed place and the other half of the group (mixed gender) will be asked to rotate. During these intervals, each pair of people will get the opportunity to talk to each other.
- CLARA will be hosting the evening and she will organize the fast friending process. She is a local and a fitness trainer by profession. She will indicate when you should move to the next person.
- From 8.30 onwards we will stop the system and people will have to chance go chat and interact with those they have met as well as others.
If you are a bit shy or anxious then please come early. Joc will help you meet other members in a small group and help you settle down and get comfortable.TICKETS: (payable in cash and will be collected by CLARA at the start of the evening)
Ladies - 10 SGD
Gents - 20 SGDOur venue for the evening - Alchemy is centrally located with several MRT stations close by. It is spacious, has comfortable indoor air-conditioned seating and not very noisy. We have a reserved area where our members can meet each other in a supportive environment.
- We are not a close knit tight group. Our evenings are warm and comfortable for members attending for the first time and those coming alone. You will not feel alone!
- We have many groups in this city. Members of our other groups who RSVP are included as guests of the organisers in order to give you an indication of expected people.
- This evening is for ladies and gents in the 18 to 40 age group. While some will be at the younger end of this range there will also be others at the other end of the range and lots in-between! You will naturally gel with others of your own age range and so you will always find many attendees who fit your range.
- Our evenings are not about 'dating' or for 'romantic' connections. 'Fast friending' is NOT 'Speed dating'. 'Fast friending' is designed to help members meet other like minded ladies and gents. It is about new friendships and connections. Naturally, new friendships can lead to dating or romantic connections, but that is not our focus.
Why do we have tickets?
- Cover our costs - Our host is compensated for their time and work. We also pay meetup and have dedicated staff to manage our events, hosts, venues and communication.
- Group Safety - By securing your ticket we have a record and you contribute to a well organized evening where everyone is more committed and better behaved.

We have connected members successfully for the past 10 years in over 30 cities (operating as Expatsclub, MeetConnectDevelop and fastfriends.co.uk). Operating centrally from London, UK - we have been responsible for helping create thousands of new connections and relationships across the world.
