    Locations - General Info

    We suggest you bring a pen, some paper and some money to these meetings. You can bring your laptop too, if you feel it's safe enough to take out, and anything else you feel like bringing along.

    If you have a good idea on a meeting place email us!

    Characteristics of a good meeting place include:

    • Internet access - Cyber cafe, wireless or through other means

    • Electricity - to plug laptops in.

    • Food and drink - ideally will serve food and drink or have somewhere that does nearby

    • A public place - we have nothing to hide.

    • Near the centre of town - makes it convenient for people from around town to turn up, and will be better known.

    • Somewhere that welcomes us.



    NOTE: The meeting place is only for the initial 30mins/hour for gathering everyone. Then you are free to move on to where ever you like!

    Go ahead and start one near you!
    We can help out, and we offer our website as a home for it. Email us.
