Re: Sydney Bisexual Network Social Pub Night, Sunday 17th Jan 6:30pm
Dear all,
This Sunday we will be having our first pub night of the year. Details down at the bottom of this email. This gathering is a good way to meet up with some of the people in the Bi community face-to-face over refreshing drinks.
We will need to have a bit of a discussion about whether we will be having a Bi entry in the Mardi Gras parade. For this to happen we need a couple of people to volunteer to organise. At this late stage it would probably just be a coordinated marching group - but if you volunteer to organise you get to choose the format!
Planning ahead to the meeting next month....
Pub night will be on Sunday the 21st (same day as Fair Day which is the official start of Mardi Gras season) and our meeting will include the small formality of an AGM for Bi-NSW. Generally that just takes 5 minutes to confirm a few members are present and have them agree that the accounts are OK.
The point of interest however is that I will be standing down from any and all official roles for Bi-NSW. Effectively I haven't done anything for the group in the last couple of years and when people assume that I will be doing things that I don't I end up being more of a hindrance than a help.
Given that for those same couple of years we haven't had an "active" committee either - this will be a watershed event. ie. some others have to step up to the plate to take on the running of the group or we will have to formally deregister Bi-NSW. If you'd like to contribute you don't necessarily have to attend the Feb pub night, but you should let me and others in these email groups know of your interest.
If you have thoughts about an entry in the parade or how Bi-NSW can keep running please be proactive and publish those thoughts to whichever of these lists you are part of.
I hope to see you at one or both of the Jan & Feb pub nights.
Regards,
Graham McKay
Treasurer, Bi-NSW

Reminder from: sbn-list Yahoo! Group
Title: Social Pub Night
Date: Sunday January 17, 2010
Time: 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm
Repeats: This event repeats every month on the third Sunday.
Location: Marlborough Hotel, Newtown
Street: cnr King St. & Missenden Rd
City State Zip: Newtown
Phone: 0416-070360 to speak to Graham
Notes: SBN pub night (a social event!) happens in Newtown on the 3rd Sunday of each month. We meet at a pub/bar for a few drinks from 6:30pm until at least 8pm. Some people avail themselves of the food at the pub, while others form a group to go for dinner at a nearby restaurant.
**NOTE** We have changed our venue to the Marlborough Hotel, cnr King St. and Missenden Rd, Newtown. Look for us up on level one - probably around in the "Deck Bar" which is just beyond the pool tables.
We always try to have a multi-coloured candle on our table to allow newbies to recognise the group. See our web site http://bi-nsw.org.au for more details or email admin@bi-nsw.org.au
