New Venue for drinks: Vibe on Smith Street

Tom — Sun, 31 May 2009 04:15:09 +0000

Hi everyone

Drinks on Sunday, June 21st will be held at a new venue.

Vibe is located at 123 Smith Street, Fitzroy. We will be meeting from 3pm – 6pm.

The venue is wheelchair accessible, but you may wish to contact us first if you require the disabled toilet facilities, as the venue needs to move around some boxes, to make them accessible.

Monthly drinks return for 2009! (Mar – May trial)

Christina — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 10:12:19 +0000

For the next three months we will be trialling a new format of monthly drinks. As a result of your feedback last year and your comments regarding Thursday evening drinks being hard to attend, we’re moving to a Sunday afternoon catch-up.

We’ve had a huge (gigantic, enormous) amount of trouble finding a suitable venue which has wheelchair access (and accessible toilets!), so for the moment, we’re going to trial Bimbo Deluxe in Fitzroy for Sunday drinks.

Details are:

When: Third Sunday of the month (Sunday, 15th March are the next drinks)
Time: 3 – 6pm
Where: Bimbo Deluxe, 376 Brunswick Street, Fitzroy

There is a courtyard upstairs for smokers and there is a wheelchair accessible toilet (need to ask staff for the key, as it’s kept for disabled and staff use only).

As usual, no need to RSVP – just turn up!

Lunch – Sunday, 22nd February @ 12.30pm, North Fitzroy Star Hotel

Christina — Fri, 09 Jan 2009 21:08:18 +0000

Goodbye 2008!! Drinks start again in 2009 – date tba

Christina — Fri, 19 Dec 2008 11:32:18 +0000

Thanks to all who came along to the recent Christmas dinner. It was great seeing so many familiar faces and a couple of new ones.

Just a friendly reminder that we won’t be starting our monthly drinks until a little later in the year, due to Midsumma Madness being upon us very soon. When drinks do start up again, we are planning on trialing a new format, a Sunday afternoon event. If you know of a good queer-friendly venue in Fitzroy which is wheelchair accessible, please let us know!

admin — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 02:00:38 +0000

ButchFemmeTrans Melbourne is holding our next get-together on the afternoon of Sunday 16 November. This time we thought we’d do something a little different and go Ten Pin Bowling. So come along and play a game or two and hang out with like-minded people. No bowling expertise is necessary! If you just want to come along and watch that is fine too. Food and drinks are available at the venue.

After we finish bowling, we’ll go and have afternoon tea/early dinner somewhere on Commercial Road.

Public transport: Yes. Prahran station on the Sandringham line is nearby and the Chapel St tram stops right out the front.
