To clear up some confusion about next Saturday May 4th’s Melbourne event.
It WILL be a BYO everything picnic, NOT a march. All welcome.
It will take place entirely within the leafy environs of the Royal Society of Victoria. For those unfamiliar with the RSV, it entirely occupies the traffic island formed by Victoria Street / Exhibition Street / Latrobe Street. Some limited free parking should be available on site.

Join us for the Melbourne edition of this year’s Global March for Science event, hosted by the Royal Society of Victoria. Bring a picnic lunch and a poster to celebrate science with us, and join in a panel discussion that will challenge and inspire you to be a better advocate for science.

We can all do better than this! View More May 4 Global March for Science (Melbourne)

Vic Skeptics recently moved Skeptics Café to the new venue of The Dan O’Connell Hotel (a.k.a. “The Dan”) in Carlton. We’ve been fortunate in the past with long tenures at good venues.
I arrived chez Dan with a few misgivings:
Could I park within a comfortable distance of the venue?
Would the venue suit us?
Would enough people turn up?
Would the topic be sufficiently relevant and interesting for such a “landmark” Skeptics event? View More With Leo at The Dan
