What are Gig Buddies Group Social Events?
Gig Buddies group social events are hosted by the GB team so that all signed-up participants and volunteers in the Gig Buddies project can catch up and do fun stuff in a group setting.
Monthly group social events are held all over Metro Sydney and Central Coast.
The main focus of the Gig Buddies project is to "buddy-up" participants and volunteers so they can catch up and go to their own events together.
Gig Buddies group social events are a "bonus" way for participants to meet people and socialise.
All group social events are run as "not-for-profit".
Participants only pay for a group social event if they need to cover the cost of admission tickets, venue hire and/or catering.
Group social events are included* as part of being in the Gig Buddies project.
* participants pay for their own food and drinks (unless a catered event)
What: Beers, NRL and food trucks
Where: Big Little Brewing, 7 Kirrawee Rd, Gosford 2250 (see map below)
Tell me about the gig: We invite you to join us at "the Central Coast’s newest microbrewery and taproom". Come for the beers, stay for NRL on the big screen and the visiting food truck.
Host: Matthew (0402 708 814)
