Munch
Plus Orientation & Etiquette Workshop
Next Munch: The Second Tuesday, Feburary to December
The Cuban
236 St Asaph St, Christchurch, New Zealand
Turn up from 7pm
We are located in the large front room with the three fires - we normally put a Pride Flag over one of the tables.
If you are unsure - just ask "is this the UB event".
Drinks and Food are available at this venue.
Over 18's only.
The room we are located in is a large room, which is great for wandering around and chatting with people, however, the noise levels can become high and the temperature levels can be erratic.
At 7.30 pm members of the UB Steering Committee and SIG Leaders will run the "formal part" of the evening running through:
Welcome & Introductions (No real names)
Previous UB Events & SIG run down
Coming UB Events
UB Bank Balance
Any other business
The Orientation & Etiquette workshop is held for those who require one
Then social time to catch up and meet people - this is what a Munch is for, to meet people offline and get to know the community.
If you arrive late (after 8 pm), there is a chance people will ignore you, as you missed the introductions. Come say hello and introduce yourself.
The Munch typically winds up at about 9.30 pm.
We normally send a Munch Reminder email, a few days before the Munch, to everyone on the mailing list. There is no need to RSVP.
Food Menu
Food is available at the Cuban all evening.
Inclusive
We try to make munches as friendly as possible and we all understand the big step of coming to your first Munch and people can seem intimidating in their own bubbles of friends.
We do have Volunteer Greeters available to help before and on the night
Please note: Messages sent an hour before the Munch, will probably not receive a responseWe do have a web page to help new people: I'm new, what advice would you give
Do turn up on time
We do understand people's worries about coming to a munch; confidentiality, anxiety, mental health, gender, age (18+), body type, and preferred pronouns, to list but a few!
