Join us at the Perth Mini 2023, a day of lights, learning, and community.

This event is for everyone, from newcomers who are just starting out to seasoned veterans with years of experience. It's a perfect opportunity to network, learn from each other, and exchange ideas and tips.

Light refreshments will be provided, and the restaurant also offers lunch options for those interested.
We'll have presentations, round table discussions, and demos to inspire and educate, and we encourage participation from all attendees.

We're looking for volunteers to share their knowledge, demonstrate their creations, and help make the day even more exciting and engaging for everyone. If you're interested in contributing to the event - please let me know.

After the event, for those interested, we can plan to head to a nearby restaurant in Leederville for a post-mini gathering.

Sure. I will confirm with the venue tomorrow the absolute max we can have in the room. If we get more interest, we can potentially arrange one of the venue's bigger rooms. :)

I will let you know in the next couple of days.

I have free shipping enabled for pickup at the Perth mini for anyone attending and want to save on shipping. It'll be available until about 6th at which time I'll ship any orders and some goodies over for door prizes.
Great! Thanks again. Hopefully the postage is quick.
