Code of Conduct
By participating in our group events, you agree to abide by our member code of conduct:
October 1 marks international coffee day. I thought I’d host a small walking event around Hyde Park now that we are into the warmer months.
We will meet on the corner of Glendower and Palmerston Street, the only roundabout in the park. From there, we will do 4 laps around the lake.
If you want to get coffee, you can go to BOOtoo or The Meeting Place kiosk.

Join us for a fun-filled evening of Rummikub at Dome Belmont!
Rummikub is a classic tile-based game that has been enjoyed by families and friends for generations. It's easy to learn and can be enjoyed by players of all ages.
This event is perfect for anyone looking to socialise, meet new people, and have a good time. Whether you're a seasoned Rummikub player or new to the game, you're sure to have a blast.
During the event, you'll have the opportunity to play multiple rounds of Rummikub, with each round providing a chance to improve your skills and strategy.
To learn how to play Rummikub, please look at this YouTube video.
We will be at the Dome Belmont Kitchen Table, which is one long table that sits 12 people. There will be a game going on at either end of table.
