Exclusive use of a function room with good lighting at the Caulfield RSL. Join our group in the Aftergame App to stay in touch: https://aftergame.app/groups/bayside-games-1853 Games are sometimes organised in advance on our WhatsApp group or in the Aftergame app, however most games are organised following a brief discussion at the venue on the Monday night.

Thematic: Voidfall, Dune (Original), Root, Eclipse, Nemesis, Spirit Island, Undaunted, Chaos in the Old World, The Godfather, Spartacus and Dominant Species. **Arrive early** The best time to arrive is around 6:50pm as people discuss which games they would like to play before starting longer games at 7:00pm. Arrive early and we can ensure that you are included in a game. However, should you arrive after 7:00pm you may need to wait for games to finish to be included, or if people are playing long games, it might not be practical to start a new game. **Full bar and snacks available** The Caulfield RSL generously provide the venue free of charge. A selection of food and drinks are available for purchase at the bar. Note that only food or drink purchased at the RSL can be consumed at the venue. We look forward to seeing you!

Let’s meet up for a Monday evening concert at Hamer Hall and enjoy Beethoven’s Second Symphony with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. We’ll meet at 6:10pm outside Hamer Hall so we have a little time to say hello before heading in. The concert starts at 6:30pm and runs for about 1 hour with no interval. This concert is part of MSO’s Quick Fix at Half Six series, which includes a short presentation on Beethoven’s Second Symphony followed by the performance itself. It’s a nice option for anyone who enjoys classical music but also wants something shorter and easier to fit into a weekday evening. The program includes: * C.P.E. Bach – Sinfonia in D major, WQ183: first movement * Locke – The Tempest: Curtain Theme * Beethoven – Symphony No. 2 This meetup is mainly about enjoying the concert together in a relaxed, low-pressure way. Solo attendees are very welcome. **Links** Meetup start point: [https://maps.app.goo.gl/rNMvBeqHBRquKyxP6](https://maps.app.goo.gl/rNMvBeqHBRquKyxP6) Event: [https://www.mso.com.au/performance/2026-quick-fix-beethovens-second-symphony](https://www.mso.com.au/performance/2026-quick-fix-beethovens-second-symphony) First Look Seats FAQ: [https://www.mso.com.au/first-look-seats/first-look-seats-faqs](https://www.mso.com.au/first-look-seats/first-look-seats-faqs) **Rough timeline** * 6:10pm — Meet outside Hamer Hall and say hello * 6:30pm — Concert begins * 7:30pm — Concert finishes and meetup wraps up * Afterwards — Optional dinner nearby if people are interested **Tickets** You’ll need to purchase your own ticket for the concert.

I am thrilled to share that our next topic is **“Love Languages and Feeling Good!”** **⁣** The five Love Languages is a fantastic book outlining five ways to express and experience love. Gary Chapman refers to them as the “love languages”. ⁣ In this session, we will discuss the different love languages, what they each are, and how we can use this information to help us grow and build more authentic and meaningful relationships. ⁣ Ladies, come join us for our live event, connect with other like-minded souls and gain tools to help you to thrive. ⁣ Sending love and look forward to seeing you there. ⁣ Deb x ⁣ **PS Invite your friends and share this uplifting experience together.**

Calling all \*\*female-identifying, non-binary and gender diverse \*\* filmmakers, actors, and film enthusiasts!

Whether you’re a writer, actor, animator, or independent filmmaker, come share your experiences, discuss current projects, or chat about favourite films. This event fosters connections among like-minded women, non-binary and gender diverse people, encourages friendships, and opens doors for collaboration. **RSVP** to help us gauge attendance.

The team at Etta humbly describe it as ‘a little neighbourhood restaurant with a big heart’ but with various accolades, including previously winning Gourmet Traveller’s Restaurant of the Year (Vic) and a Chef’s Hat, Etta is more than just a quiet local spot in Brunswick East. The food is fresh and seasonal, and brings people together over shared plates. I booked the Chef’s High Table for 8 Fine Diners to enjoy the ‘leave it to us’ 4-course menu at $115 per person for dinner from 6.45pm on Friday 8 May. There is the option to add matching wines on the night for $85. 
Join the waitlist to express interest. Once I have names in the waitlist, I’ll send you a ‘Meetup Message’ to confirm you have a spot and how to pay. You’ll need to send me $50 to secure your place (equivalent to the cancellation fee - this will be deducted from your bill when we settle up). Once paid I’ll move you from the waitlist to going. Please check that you don’t have your settings blocking messages; if I can’t contact you I’ll have to move on to the next person. Also if you don’t respond to my message within 3 days, I’ll let you know that I’m offering the seat to the next person on the waitlist. 
Thanks and I’m looking forward to sharing some delicious food at Etta with you!
