I know there’s been issues with venues for our meetings. I’ve spoken to the guy who runs the Audio Foundation (which off K Rd, beside Myers Park), and I think we could use that space for a donation of some sort. This is just an idea, and I can look into it if people are keen.

G’day Grace, a catch up with local writers would be really cool! At the moment though, with our delightful coven of time-vampires (also known as children), time’s squeezed more than spaghettification in a black hole. But I will keep checking, and if there are events later in the year, it’d be awesome to get along! 🙂
The plan is to post meetings in the group, so you should hear about it whenever something is on. How old are your kids? Sometimes it may work to bring them with you.
Cool! 🙂 My girls are four and seven. If they can get their groove on nearby, that might work out great! Biggest issue currently though, is that my wife is about to start a fulltime three month placement for her Masters degree, so we’ll be pulling extra hours, evenings and weekends.

I can look into what evenings the audio foundation is available. From my understanding, they are hoping to find groups who want a regular spot in the schedule – even if it’s a regular…[Read more]
Cool, keep us informed.
Hi Immie, I’ve been helping Mary Jones organise the last couple of meetups because she’s been busy with family matters. Sunday afternoons are probably still better than weekday evenings, as almost nobody has turned up to the weekday events that have been organised this year.

Hi Louise. Sorry took me a while to reply – but I just sent you an email. If you could do the organising, that would be super. I did talk to Jeff (Audio Foundation) about it a while ago. He said ‘a small donation of about $20’… for the venue hire, basically. And there are spots free each month – just need to discuss the exact details with him.
(Sorry to appear so lazy!! I’m just unsure what the group wants, to be honest.) As mentioned in my email, I’m also happy to host small groups at my home. I live centrally.
