In June of this year we hosted the Big Australian Democrats Get Together. On the weekend of June 27 and 28, Democrats in every State and Territory got together in a strong affirmation of life in our party.
Since then, we have enjoyed double digit growth every month, have attracted new donors and supporters and implemented new policy and member engagement processes.
Next month, we will be doing it again, hosting the 2nd Big Australian Democrats Get Together on October 24 and 25.
You can host your own event as part of the 2nd Big Australian Democrats Get Together. It doesn't have to be fancy or formal... it can just be having people around for a cup of tea, or meeting up at the pub for a few drinks. To host an event, all you need to do is set a time and place, and register here. We'll send you out a host pack with information and signs you can print out if you wish.
If you are interested in the party but haven't signed up yet please go along to an event near you, meet some people and find out what it is all about.
If you don't want to host an event, just check the lists to see where one is near you and go along, and take some friends with you.
See you there!
