Get ready for an unforgettable night of belly laughs as we bring the best in Australian comedy right to our brewpub stage! ### FEATURING ARJ BARKER Arj is bringing his unmistakable blend of razor-sharp observations, absurd logic and effortless storytelling to the stage. Known from Flight of the Conchords, Thank God You're Here and countless sold-out tours around the world, Arj has a unique ability to find the ridiculous in everyday life and turn it into comedy gold. Whether he's unpacking modern technology, relationships, human behaviour or the strange quirks of life we all pretend are normal, Arj's laid-back delivery and brilliantly offbeat perspective will leave you wondering how you've never noticed it before. Smart, hilarious and refreshingly unpredictable, this is stand-up comedy at its finest. Don't miss your chance to see one of the world's most original comedians live at Bad Shepherd. ### Make a night of it and book in for dinner!

**\*\*\*RSVP PROCESS - CRITICAL INFO\*\*\*** Please be aware, we don't use the Meetup website to take RSVPs, so you will need to register on this link to lock in your place (bookings essential) - [https://propdev.info/uMKh](https://propdev.info/uMKh) We run events most weekends around Australia so you can attend either physically in your local area, or live-stream to any event around the country. **In-Person:** 1:30pm (Melbourne time) to 'Mingle With The Expert' **Virtual:** 2pm (Melbourne time) **INTRODUCING THE INDUSTRY EXPERT:** *Finance Secrets Smart Developers Use! AUSUN Finance (Thomas Tang)* You’ve found a great site. The numbers work. Then the finance falls apart. The loan gets declined. Conditions change midway through the deal. Settlement gets delayed. Or worse… the project never happens at all. For many small-to-medium developers, the biggest risk isn’t finding the deal… it’s getting the finance right. And most people make the same mistakes: Using inexperienced brokers, approaching the wrong lenders, presenting deals poorly, or not understanding how lenders actually assess development projects. That’s why we’re excited to have Thomas Tang from AUSUN Finance joining us as our next Industry Expert at Property Developer Network. Thomas specialises in Construction & Development Finance and has been involved in funding countless development projects across the country. As a second-generation developer with one of the highest lending volumes nationally, Thomas understands exactly how lenders think, how brokers and bankers operate behind the scenes, and what developers need to do to position themselves correctly in today’s market. In this presentation, Thomas will break down: • What lenders are REALLY looking for right now • Why deals get delayed, declined, or repriced • The biggest mistakes developers make when applying for finance • How to build long-term relationships with the right lenders and brokers • What you can do immediately to improve your chances of funding success Because in today’s market… the developers who understand finance are the ones still getting deals done. **INTRODUCING THE REAL DEAL:** *1 into 4 Townhouses (Helen Shao)* *1042m2, NRZ, Boroondara, Victoria* You’ve finally secured a development site. Council approvals are underway. The builder is ready to go. Then the market shifts. Town planning drags on for months. Uncertainty kicks in. And suddenly you’re left wondering… “Do I push ahead… or wait?” For many small-to-medium developers, knowing when to move — and when to hold back — can make or break a project. That’s why we’re excited to have Helen Shao joining us to share her latest Real Deal project at Property Developer Network. Using a delayed settlement strategy to secure the site, Helen navigated the uncertainty of the Covid-19 period while managing lengthy town planning delays and carefully timing the start of construction as the market stabilised. In this Real Deal presentation, Helen will walk you through the realities of managing a development during uncertain market conditions, including: • How delayed settlement helped secure the opportunity • The impact Covid had on planning and timing • Lessons learned through lengthy approval delays • How the project stayed on track during construction • What she would do differently next time If you’ve ever wondered how experienced developers adapt when the market throws curveballs at them… this is a presentation you won’t want to miss. **This is your chance to talk property with other enthusiasts!** See you all soon!

3 Teams. 3 Goals. Hexagonal Pitch. A game of alliance and betrayal in equal measure. We are looking for new players and returning players alike to come play a match. Players of any ability, fitness level or background are welcomed - the game is intended to be fun for a Sunday morning rather than super competitive. If you've never played before, that's okay - the rules are as simple as this: * There's no offside - roam where you will * Defend your goal at all costs * No hands (this is soccer-style football after all) Come down for 9:00am, we make some balanced teams and warm up for the match starting at 9:15. Three thirds are played of 25 minutes each so we're usually done by about 11:00am. All fitness and soccer skill levels more than welcome and encouraged! A note regarding junior players: We very much enjoy and encourage junior players to come along and play however please be aware of the following: * As most attendees are adults, all players must be a minimum of 1.5m tall and 13 years of age. Soccer may have incidental contact when contesting a ball, and we would hate for someone small to be injured as a result of running into someone larger than them. * Any players under the age of 16 must be accompanied by a playing parent or guardian. How to find us - We meet on the astroturf pitch near the Baselball and Hockey clubs in Albert Park. The main location we use is called "Dorothy Coleman Field". If we aren't there then there may be a couple of other locations, [as noted on this dynamic map](https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=1JdDwV4AOV5e-xP5d56m16-eu29GlnZQ&usp=sharing) \- generally we will follow in number order\.

We added a second 5-a-side match at **RMIT Synthetic, scheduled for Saturdays from 11:30-12:30 pm**. How to join us? Just download the Stranger Soccer app and register for free. If this is your first time playing with us, use the code **WELCOME** to book this game for free. Book your slot now and get involved. See you on the pitch!

Feeling down? Sometimes depressed? Can't focus? Negativity & stress? Recent losses? Creativity in career and personal life hindered by mental blocks? Sometimes we never fully recover from traumatic experiences. Whether it was yesterday, last week or a year ago, traumatic experiences - a loss of a loved one, losing a job, a breakup - can leave you scarred. You talk about it and feel a little better, but it never goes away. After you hang up the phone, it's still there; the sadness, the cloud, the over-thinking, the worry, the guilt. You try to focus, but you're blocked. You try to look forward into new experiences, new relationships but a cloud is hanging over you, casting a shadow on what you once considered a bright, cheerful future. What happened to your courage? Your strength of character? You're 'why not' attitude? Whoever said 'time heals' must have had a special time machine, because after weeks, months, years, you're wondering - when exactly does that kick in? Sometimes it seems like drinking or drugs are the way to go. But they wear off, and now the problem is still there with added side effects from the drugs. At this free local Meetup event we will talk about: * What causes grief, anxiety and depression to become chronic. * Is it possible to regain your joy and happiness even after traumatic experiences? * How to break away from negativity and focus on the future * What are the steps to take to get control of your mind and your emotions? Learn about a safe, gentle, do-it-yourself counseling that can be done in the comfort of your own home. Let's explore safe, effective solutions for healing from traumatic experiences. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to the event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is sponsored by the Dianetics & Scientology Life Improvement Center.
