If you are on the **Obsesión banned list**, this ban **automatically applies to all related events**, including **Latin Obsession, Bachata Obsesión,** **Bachata Vibes, Latin Vibes, Albion Fridays, and all collaborative events**. This policy exists to ensure a **safe, welcoming environment** where dancers can learn, connect, and enjoy themselves without pressure, discomfort, or fear. Harassment, boundary violations, predatory behaviour, or repeated disregard for consent will **not be tolerated**. We believe great dance scenes are built on **trust, accountability, and mutual respect**. By attending our events, you agree to uphold these values and contribute to a space where everyone — particularly women and marginalised dancers — can feel safe, supported, and empowered. Thank you for helping us protect and strengthen our community. 💜

Jewellers can hire a desk in our workshop to make or finish off their own pieces. This workshop is self run, you need to attend a health and safety induction before working daily unattended.

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. 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.

**Tickets ($30) - BOOKINGS CLOSED:** [https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/queer-social-dinner-gays-vs-lesbians-tickets-1989351410621](https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/queer-social-dinner-gays-vs-lesbians-tickets-1989351410621) Please join us at Welcome to Brunswick for a social dinner. We have two rooms at the front of the venue booked, one room for the gays, and one for the lesbians (bi/pan folk are of course welcome). Your ticket includes a curated selection from the small bites menu and a generous amount of chips to share. Selection includes vegan gyoza, fried chicken with kewpie mayo, and pumpkin arancini - these can be adjusted for those with dietary requirements. For those looking for a more substantial dinner on top of what's included, there are great options available on the menu. Whether you're looking for new friends, romantic connections, or just a fun night out, we'd love to welcome you to join us. This event is casual and relatively unstructured; great for people who want to chat to strangers over a bite to eat and some drinks. Booking is strictly limited to 16 people per room. If you have any dietary requirements, please reach out to us after purchasing your ticket and we will request the necessary adjustments :)
