Saturday 12 March 2016 was our very first booked out cardi party. SLV Curator Anna Welch took us on an amazing tour of some of the State Library’s galleries before we headed down to The Moat.

We also talked about the #FundTrove campaign.

In January 2016 we dispensed with the formalities and went straight to drinks at the Kingston Hotel in Richmond.

In December 2015 we met at Melbourne Museum to talk privacy with Athina Mavromataki and Nik McGrath. Then we headed to the Catfish for cheesesteak.
