Unless advised otherwise, meetings take place in The Discovery Centre, (previously called InfoZone) lower ground floor, Melbourne Museum, Carlton Gardens, at 6 pm on the first Thursday of the month. Sessions commence with an introduction from the convenor, followed by an informal talk for about 20 minutes. Participants are encouraged to intervene and generate discussion. Meetings generally conclude after about 90 minutes, and everyone who attends a session is encouraged to actively participate. | ||
