After you join:
In the past we experienced a lot of spam within our Facebook group, so we decided to implement a few participation questions that the spam-bots would not be able to properly answer. Please post a comment on our Facebook group before Monday night if you are looking to get involved in our event so that a moderator has time to approve you. Once you are approved, you will then be able to post comments without any moderator intervention. Thank you.
IMPORTANT: This is not a video chat. This is not a separately created Facebook room. This is our regular Facebook group where anyone can type a post, make comments, discuss and chat about writing.
Click on "Recent Posts" when you are scrolling through our Facebook group to locate the most recent posts. It is usually set to "New Activity".
Please contact me to become a host (which is as simple as posting some writerly questions or just chatting to others online via the main chat area on our Facebook group).

I will be going as well if anyone is needing a ride from the Western suburbs of Melbourne or city.
Please message for the address.
This festive season, let’s come together once again to celebrate the spirit of community, friendship, and good food right here in Cranbourne, Victoria.
If this Christmas finds you far from your homeland or family, you’re not alone! Join us for a warm Christmas Potluck Dinner and a fun Kris Kringle gift exchange — a time to share laughter, stories, and traditions with others who are also looking for connection and belonging this holiday season.
📅 Date: 25 December 2025
🕔 Time: 5:00 pm
📍 Location: Cranbourne, Victoria (address will be shared with attendees)
👫 Feel free to bring a +1 or a new friend!
Please bring a dish that reflects your cultural heritage — or simply something you enjoy! Don’t worry if you can’t cook; store-bought is just as welcome.
We’ll enjoy music, laughter, and dishes from around the world as we make this Christmas a little brighter together.
And of course, don’t forget to bring a small gift (around $15) for our Kris Kringle game — the rules will be revealed on the day!
With warmth and holidays.
