If you just want to be social, attend our regular social events -
Permies at the Pub
Every 4th Thursday of the month at Irish Murphy's in Sturt St, from 6 pm. Most people have a meal, but that's not essential, you can just drop in for a drink and a chat. It's a great way to check us out without committing to anything 😉 As we need to book a table, please let us know via the Facebook reminder for the event, or email to [email protected] if you'd like to attend.

Permies at the Market
We meet at the Farmers Market at Lake Wendouree on the 2nd Saturday of the month, between 9.30-10.30am. You'll find us having a cuppa and chat in the Rotunda, come and join us.
Winter Solstice
Most years we celebrate the Winter Solstice with a Pot Luck dinner and hopefully, a bonfire (depending on location). It's a great way to welcome the lengthening of the days with delicious food and convivial company.
Xmas party
Usually held in early December, this might be a Pot Luck or a catered lunch or dinner. It depends on what our Events committee come up with each year. It's always held at a child-friendly venue, with room for the kids to run around
These events are always advertised in the Events calendar on our website, where you can register for events and on our Facebook group and Facebook members pages.
We also have a long-standing policy of supporting other community groups rather than running our own events which might be in competition, so we regularly join our friends in other groups at:
- Produce Swap - First Saturday of the month (9.30 - 11.30) Ballarat Community Garden
- Potluck Dinners - BREAZE local food group. Not regular at present.
