There have been some requests in the group for an afternoon tea, so here’s a really unique one! Oxi Tea Room was awarded one Hat this year and delivers an incredible afternoon tea experience. Here’s an example video of one of their previous menus: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DIA3AtEh4bf/?igsh=MW5lN3ZmaGxkeHFwag== The new menu titled ‘Hatched - The Loop’ has just been released (menu here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1cO4e2-mPF2ZE_C6Pce3FTallVZGlP1nJ/view) and I have booked this for 6 Fine Diners to enjoy from 12pm on Sunday 17 May. The price is $128 per person and includes a tea and a welcome drink. You can purchase additional teas/drinks on the day if you wish. 

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 the full cost of $128 to secure your place as this is charged for cancellations. 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 trying this beautiful-looking afternoon tea with you!

Good Beer Week is cancelled but Pint of Origin 2026 is **onnnnnnn!!!!** https://pintoforigin.com/ Location: Starting at the Lincoln in Carlton (Tasmania) then moving to Whiskey and Alement (optional), Heartbreaker (North of Yarra) and finishing at Venom Brewing (NT). 🗓️ Saturday 16 May 2026 ⏰ 3PM – 7PM ***beernerds is a multiplatform group, attendance is. typically 10-20 prople including attendees on Meetup*** Every year this 10-day event crops up and I slap my own face 🤦🏽 for forgetting it (except that one year I lined up 3 events in quick succession and ended up poisoning myself!) I'm more organised this year, so much so that the dates have been set but no final details are available regards the venues and themes (recall each venue will represent a particular region in Australia/the world). There is a huge number of pubs and bars involved but for maximal exposure with minimal transporting logistics I propose we hit up the Central Crawl. As above, starting at the Lincoln in Carlton who are providing a variety of Tasmanian beers we face a daunting 1.4km urban hike. Fret not, we will have 2-3 stops along the way to recoup and refuel. My aim is to complete the crawl within 4 hours but we can see how we feel about each venue and maybe stay a little longer if the beers are particularly enjoyable. I will do my best to monitor Meetup for messages but I don't mind sharing my contact so that you can check where we are in case you're running late.

**Karaoke Night**: Bring your glee club friends. Enjoy a flashback to your choir days. No chorus line. It's all you baby. Sing. Shout. Scream. Lip sync if you need to. But do show up and do have a good time. **On Freestyle night** \- just bring a bottle to share\. There is NO formal wine tasting like on other weeks\. Door charge is $10 \(cash or Venmo only please\)\. We may have some left over wines to clear out\! Glasses are provided\. Take Care\. See you there\. **Parking**: There are several public parking lots near the Alive614 hall. Please be careful to NOT park in private parking lots. They do tow. Check Google maps to scope out your space. Anyone who is early could easily find a parking space on the street nearby. I am told that the Chase parking lot is safe after hours. **Glasses**: …will be provided. Please note that after the wine tasting, the EMPTY glasses need to be returned to the boxes at the service table. Please do not make me hunt down your empty glass. Please be gentle, our glasses are fragile. Uh, they are made of glass! **Food**: You are welcome to bring a snack to share. It is not required. Most people do though. If no one brings anything, there will be nothing. **Code of Conduct**: Though mostly understood, it’s still worth mentioning. We don’t have rules per se, but we highly discourage the following topics of discussion because they are likely to incite anti-social responses - Sex, Politics, Religion. Please don’t mistake this as an attempt to limit your free speech rights but rather a guide to a place and time for appropriate discussions. **After the lights go out**: After the last sip of wine, when we clean up and turn the lights out, if you still haven’t had enough of us, it is typical for a group to get together and go to a local eatery for food and/or drinks or coffee. Again, We look forward to meeting new members and reuniting with old friends. Sincerely, ***Paul Uttermohlen***, **Red 1 Realty** *Your Hilliard Wine Club Host*
