About Each Monthly Meeting:

  • QUERIES: Call Vivienne, including for private venue details - 0439 420 994**.**
  • LUNCH - 1pm to 2pm People bring finger-food to add to the table. Lunch starts each meeting. It's valued time, with opportunities to get to know each other. It's casual, fun, help yourself & share the tasks.
  • STORY-SHARING starts at 2pm, finishes about 4'ish (includes refreshments break)
  • STORIES - lots of 'TALKS' are not stories. If new to this delightful expressive art form, research what is a story, listen for a while and then have a go - all very supportive
  • THEMES for stories are a catalyst ... open to imaginative interpretation & intended for adults, not children
  • VENUES – assorted public places and private homes please call Host for address if in private home. Meetings can be indoors &/or outdoors - be prepared, just in case!
  • COST – $5 which is linked to Raffle of the day, helps cover venue & insurance
  • TRADING TABLE - cash purchases of produce & quirky goods & goodies, also helps cover expenses
  • CHANGES - Occasionally, change to the program notices will be sent to those on our email list.
  • LISTENERS most welcome, as are TELLERS with a prepared story
  • GUESTS and new members fully welcome
