Anxious about sweeping changes to our mainstream media?
Worried about the endless procession of draconian contracts?
Freelance life getting you down?

Join other freelance journos for a drink or two on Thursday July 12 for no other reason than to gather and talk.

Where:
Upstairs room at The AB Hotel – 225 Glebe Point Rd (corner of Bridge Rd), Glebe

When: Thursday 12 July, from 6:30 pm

What: Talk, drink, eat. Buy your own drinks and meals and the hotel will bring up the orders.

How: Just turn up! There’s no need for RSVP as we’re not catering – but if you’d like to drop a line to the list if you’re coming, we’ll all get a feel for who will be there.

Thanks to the wonderful Pamela Hewitt for organising this.
