Time is upon us again and this month our monthly meet-up is back at San Giorgios pizzaria!

Tuesday April 6th at San Giorgio's Pizzaria, 217 Rundle Street corner of Frome and Rundle.
Come along and once more meet some of us costuming types, chat about upcoming events and generally meet the people.


And your memberships will be due! All memberships expire on April 1st, I'll bring membership forms to fill in. You can pay with cash or cheque right there and then (yes you will get receipt) or you can fill in the form and then EFT the money straight to the ACG account from home.


Official start time as normal is 6.30pm although many arrive at around 6.00

Oh I thought 7 Stars was on for the next meet-up (or did the 'Garden' meet-up throw off the rotation?).

Sounds good, I'd like to meet all the SA crew. smile.gif

Where do people park? Being alone, I tend to not to like parking in city at night for safety reasons ohmy.gif and prefer places that have on-site carparking.

I usually park on Frome Street, one block up. At that time of the evening most of the 'day-parkers' are going home and the night folk are yet to come out and steal all the parks again.

Thanx for that Old Trenchy. The night rates are very reasonable too. If a group of us are parking there we can go back later as a group, its safer than going alone.

I'll bring along your coat, however sad I might be to part with it. tongue.gif
Go ahead, make my coffee.

Now I know what you're thinking - "does he want two sugars or only one?" Well to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I've kind of lost track myself.
But being that I don't like my coffee too strong or too sweet, you’ve got to ask yourself one question – "do you feel lucky" – well do you, punk?

Merrick, it was good to catch up today at the Billywigs/SAFF picnic. Thanx for answering my questions about the guild and for sending me the monthly update. I'm feeling more inspired, looking forward to meeting all the others and joining the Guild 'officially' Tuesday night. smile.gif
