[edit] Essential Info

[edit] CHANGE OF PLAN FOR THIS WEEKEND

Hi everyone, unfortunately a few things have fallen through for the retreat this weekend. Please read below to find out details. I hope that changing the venue makes it more accessible for people in terms of travel and time given that there are essays and things coming out of everyone's ears at the moment!!


  • When: SATURDAY 14th April 9.30-5.30 (come earlier for a look around the market (from 9am)


  • Where: CERES community environment park. 8-10 Lee st East Brunswick.

We have booked out the education room which is next to the nursery. see their website and click Whats on site then site map to have a look at the map. '

You can catch tram 112 and get of at Blyth st (turn left down Blyth til you see the CERES sign) or tram 96 and get off at the last stop (turn right down Blyth st til you see CERES sign). Tram 96 stop is closer.


  • What to bring: Now that it is just going to be on Saturday, you only need to bring notepad and pen. There is a really great cafe at Ceres but it is up to you whether you BYO or buy from the cafe. Coffee, tea and

munchies provided.


  • What's happening: The retreat is a really great time to strengthen our knowledge and networks and plan campaigns whilst people are together.

There are four sessions planned for the day:

9.30-11:00,

11.30-1:00,

2:00-3.30,

4:00-5.30.

Email Libby with any questions. It would be great to see you there for all or some of the day. The weather is going to be glorious so there is no better place to be than CERES!!
