Melbourne's next regular social meetup comes with a twist. As we are holding the event on the shortest day of the year, we will be doing something special to celebrate the winter solstice.

This will be an occasion for reflection on the universe, and humanity's place within it. We will be celebrating with a winter feast, courtesy of Thomas, and short speeches to be presented by a small number of participants.

All are welcome at the usual start time of 6:30pm, although there will be a couple of us there from 6pm getting the food ready, so feel free to come earlier than usual. Please contact one of the hosts for the address if you have not visited before, and check out the google group: groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/melbourne-less-wrong

At 8:30pm we will kick off the official part of the event, so we encourage you to arrive before this time if possible.

Following the feast and speeches, the event will return to standard social activities including boardgames and chatting, parlour games etc. If you haven't been to a Melbourne meetup before/recently, the social meetup can be less intimidating way to meet us as it's very informal.

For the location/any questions, please see the Melbourne Less Wrong Google group, or feel free to contact Brayden (0407 943 917), Richard (0421 231 789) or Ben (0412 996 288).
