Meetings

Monthly meetings of Victorian GUM are held in Melbourne, usually alternating between Tuesday and Wednesday nights in the city, commencing at 6.45pm. Several meetings and seminars are held on Sundays so our country members can attend. Dates, venues and topics are announced in these web pages, in the VicGUM® Newsletter and on the Notice Board at the GSV Library. The monthly meetings usually include reports and views from the committee, formal presentations by members or guest speakers, and a casual forum for discussion and exchange of ideas amongst the members. All monthly meetings are open to VicGUM® members, visitors and prospective members. The Annual General Meeting is held in August.
