What to bring
Please bring your own ukulele. If you can't find one in time, I have two spare ukuleles that you can borrow for this meetup. You can reserve them by leaving a comment in the comments section below.

You can bring snacks/food to the venue and there is a wide range of non-alcoholic and alcoholic drinks available for purchase at very reasonable prices.

The session is free but there is a donation box if you like our sessions and want to contribute to our operating expenses.

Meeting place
Venue will be the Flemington-Kensington RSL, 25-27 Rankins Road, Kensington, VIC 3031.

How to Get There
- Train - From the city, catch a Craigieburn Line train and get off at Newmarket Station, which is 3 stops from Southern Cross Station or 2 stops from North Melbourne. Exit the station, walk 200 metres to Racecourse Road. Head east (away from the station) along Racecourse Road for 250 metres. Then turn right into Rankins Road. The RSL is about 100 metres down Rankins Road, on your left.

How we conduct our sessions
For the first 20 minutes we usually play very easy songs which are suitable for beginners (even complete beginners), and serve as a warm-up for more experienced players. Beginners, try to attend this part of the session, it's the most important bit for you! The next 40 minutes is usually devoted to learning new songs, according to the theme of week. We will then have a 10-minute break. The last 50 minutes is spent playing songs that participants pick from a list.

Important
If you are late, please use the meetup app to send messages to me. If you can't attend at the last minute, please change your RSVP or send a message.
cheers,
Fi
