6pm start. $2 gold coin entry per person. Please order dinner at the bar when you arrive and let the staff know you are with the card group in the Dining Room. Meals are served around 7:15pm. Happy Hour drinks are available until 7pm. After a dinner break we shuffle the teams around so you get to meet, and play with new people. Games are played as 4 handed wherever possible, but an occasional 3,5 or 6 handed game is required based on the number of attendees. If you are a beginner or have minimal experience playing 500, please let your host know before starting a game, and feel free to ask them any question. Ahead of the event you might like to download one of the 500 card game apps on your phone to get familiar with the game. There are also some Youtube videos.

Heading up for a 7km walk up in Plenty Gorge (near Bundoora). Other hikers have noted that depending on the weather there may be a creek crossing, but last time I was there I was able to walk over the little bridge no problem. I plan to set off from a Google map marker named "Os (A cluster of steel forms) by Alexander Knox 2007" on Linacre Drive around 10am in the morning. There's a blue algae warning for the lake. For my sake, please don't drink it 🥲. Or swim in it. As with last time, only 10 people can register through meetups because I'm a silly goose who won't pay my life away to get premium, but if the event fills up and you want to come anyway, just message me to let me know.

Located on Station Street in Fairfield, Narai Classic Thai Restaurant is a vibrant spot that perfectly blends tradition with innovation. Try their signature dishes like the special Thai noodle dish, red duck curry, and a delightful whole fish dish, all crafted with fresh ingredients. It's pretty reasonably priced in a great area. Why not come down and join us for some food and conversation. If you haven't been before, don't be shy. Still not sure? Why not check out their menu. https://www.canva.com/design/DAGzFmLIkS4/A7_q-xhXSs3zvhm5udmbeQ/view?utm_content=DAGzFmLIkS4&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link2&utm_source=uniquelinks&utlId=h6c983791ce#1 A $20 non refundable deposit is required for this event and will be refunded on the night. The deposit will be required 48 hours from RSVPing to the event or you will be moved removed from the event. Please make payment to the following account only if you are on the going list. Please note the new bank details. BSB 013125 Account 150808654 Please let me know once payment is made. PLEASE USE YOUR NAME AND VENUE AS YOUR REFERENCE. Please only RSVP to an event if you fully intend to show. Pulling out of a dinner or another booked event (with a venue) on the day is a kick in the teeth for both the venue and the organiser. I understand there are instances where this is unavoidable, but you are short changing the venue on the revenue they are reliant upon, especially when it comes to paying their staff. It may be too late to rebook those tables with other patrons. Not to mention the stress this puts the organisers under. Please be considerate.

It is currently earning a tremendous 97% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes where critics call it, “an unexpected celebration of friendship, community, and solidarity.” Others call the film “an exercise in radical empathy,” a “masterful” and “optimistic” film designed to “provoke discussion” while making the audience laugh.
