Girl Geek Games Night

We're back! After last year's crazy busy-ness, we are back with a bang in 2011.

Our first Girl Geek Dinner event is a Girl Geek Games night held at Southern Cross University on 29th March. We will have projectors hooked up to XBoxes, the new Kinect and also a Wii. If we have enough people we will organise more as well.

Place:   A1.09/11 Southern Cross University, Hogbin Drive, Coffs Harbour
Date:   Tuesday 29th March 2011
Time:   6.30 pm - 9.30pm

If you are female, come along and invite your friends.
If you are male, get a female to invite you!
Each female is allowed to invite a maximum of one male - that way we will have more females than males at the games night.

Cost is very reasonable at $6.00 per person (if buying at student services), and covers drinks and nibbles and games. Tickets are available at M Block Student Services or via Sticky Tickets at http://www.stickytickets.com.au/5316. Note: If you buy through Sticky Tickets there is a 50c booking fee per ticket unless you buy a "Group of 4" ticket.

Any questions - please ask in the comments :)

Calling all Tech Women..

Our first ever Girl Geek Dinner in Coffs is this Saturday, 5th June at 6:30pm at the Sanctuary Resort Rainforest Restaurant.

We are hoping that some publicity will help to get the word out there.  You can help too!  If you are already coming to the dinner.. great!  Please tell other women in the area you know who could be interested.  There will be interesting speakers and a great opportunity to get together and network with others interested in technology.

This article was in the Coffs Advocate on Saturday 29th May..  The web address in the article was incorrect but if you are reading this blog, you will already be on the right page.

Don't forget you need a ticket before the dinner - no tickets will be sold at the door.  $15 per person includes finger food and one drink from the bar. You can buy tickets online at  http://www.stickytickets.com.au/3525, or email us at girlgeekdinnerscoffs@gmail.com  or buy tickets at SCU Student Services, M Block on the CHEC campus.  We hope to see you there!

Speakers

We are very excited to announce the speakers at our first Girl Geek Dinner!  They are:

• David Ford, Managing Director of Coffs Computing.  David has been integral with technology for many diverse businesses and organisations on the Coffs Coast .  He will be talking about technology pathways now and into the future.  David will also give us the opportunity of seeing some of the latest gadgets up close.

We hope you will join us.  It’s a great opportunity to get together  and network, learn something and talk to others that are interested in technology, in a relaxed atmosphere.
