Adding some momentum.

The To Do list from @alexgware as we were walking out was:

• Contact the person who contacted us to host event over there
• Place holder event 🎉

Thanks so much for following up that person. 🤞 we may not have to organise anything.

I reckon there'll be some interaction between GPN and this group which may change the dynamics of the next event (in a good way!).

Guess it's too early to be getting in front of July event.

I'm still waiting to hear back from the contact around the cybersecurity option, we may want to think about whether there is a different option we'd like to think about for May (e.g. beginner python event) just in case the cybersecurity event needs to be delayed to July

No reason we can't always fall back on HN, like last one.

Additionally there are the lounges upstairs which we could use also if we want to be a bit more secluded.

Getting the ball rolling on a possible park event in May, I'm going to suggest aiming for Black Mountain Peninsula. Relevant links

• Playground - https://www.parks.act.gov.au/find-a-nature-park/urban-parks/black-mountain-peninsula-district-park

We can try to claim some tables but might be easier to get people to bring picnic blankets and camping chairs
