Welcome to the MDKW. We’re excited to see you at an event soon.

A few things to know about the group:

RSVPing is super important. We book tables in advance and accurate numbers are essential. If you can’t make it, just update your RSVP so we can account for any changes. If you are uncertain if you’ll be able to attend when going to RSVP, best to hold off until you’re more certain, so we can be prepared for accurate numbers.

Start times are typically 6:30pm, but you don’t need to be there exactly on time. We’re usually at a venue for two hours after the start time, so feel free to come along when it suits you. Likewise you don’t need to attend every week. Come along to the locations/evenings that suit you whether that be weekly, fortnightly, monthly, whenever!

We charge a small annual fee of $20. This is payable after your second attendance, so you can try out the group and see if you like the vibe. Once you reach 2 attendances, we’ll be in touch, and after your first set of dues, you’ll be asked to pay annually. MDKW does not make any profits and is organised by volunteers. This annual fee enables us to pay for the Meetup platform so we can share events with you all.

Melbourne Drunken KnitWits prides itself on being a supportive, inclusive and respectful group. Please note that rude, aggressive, or disrespectful behaviour towards other KnitWits, committee members or venue staff will not be tolerated.

If you have joined but not attended a meet with the MDKW after 3 months, please know that we do a regular tidy up of our member lists. If you are removed but are still keen to attend, please just rejoin.
