What are Local Groups?

Hi Janice

Is the start time really 5:30 am?

Cheers

Janice Jao

Hi Mazzy,

Thanks for spotting that mistake! I'm used to the 12-hr clock clearly. Fixed!

Cheers,

Janice

Hi, Any updates on location?

Janice Jao

Hi everyone,

Sorry for the lack of updates.

I'm stoked to see 18 awesome people who are attending so far! Also, I need some help with finding a good location. Because the number of attendees might increase over the few days, I cannot make a reservation anywhere and I'm also semi-new to Melbourne. So I wanted to ask how you feel about just meeting at a park? Maybe somewhere in the CBD? This can be a good opportunity to meet each other and then possibly plan for the next meetups.

Let me know you guys think.

Cheers,

Janice

Jee Jung

Hi Janice, welcome to Melbourne! I'll be joining with my husband on Monday (who is not an IDF member). We love the idea of meeting at the park. Carlton Gardens is close to CBD and accessible.

Janice Jao

Hi Jee,

Thanks for the suggestion and for bringing your husband. Events like these are always better with more people. I have updated the location for the event. See you both!

Ivan Chu

Welcome to Melbourne Janice! The other option for a park is Flagstaff Garden, also in the CBD near Queen Victoria Market

Janice Jao

Hi Ivan,

Thanks for this suggestion. I think this is a perfect location since it's within the city and some of the members can head straight to the Queen Victoria Market to grab some nibbles. See you soon!

Janice Jao

Hi everyone,

Hope your weekend has been good!

I have updated the location for the event which is at Flagstaff Gardens CBD. I'll be wearing a red shirt so that you can all easily spot where we're meeting. Also, if you have trouble looking for the space, feel free to email me at janjaonov@gmail.com.

See you all and looking forward to meeting you.

Miriam Potter

Hi Janice, great to see this opportunity. Not sure I am good for this one (very recent bereavement) but will be on the lookout for future events. Again, thanks for making it happen!

Carolyn Hay

Perfect! So grab some food, come to Flagstaff gardens and look for Janice in the red shirt ;-)

Ivan Chu

Sorry, please ignore my previous comment (deleted to avoid confusion), didn’t realise Janice already put address number along William St :

Thanks for organising Janice, it was fun to meet all who came :)

Janice Jao

Hey everyone!

Thanks to all who came and made this meetup happen! I've gained such valuable insights from you all and loved hearing your stories. :)

I'm going to create a Slack channel (thanks Ivan for the suggestion!) so please send me your emails so I can add you. Also, non-members are more than welcome!

Looking forward to our next meetup and thanks again! I had such a great time.

Cheers,

Janice

Meetup attendees

Members can show their interest to attend a meetup by clicking “Attend this meetup” button. In addition, since Local Groups events are open to all, non-members can also attend these meetups.

Members might be bringing their non-member friends to a Local Group meetup (and you’re welcome to do the same), but their non-member friends will not be shown as “attending” because this feature is only available to members.

P.S.: Note that the number of attendees is not an indication of its value! Small meetups work perfectly, and can facilitate deeper, more fruitful conversations.
