MFE: April 2023 – Post Fur Con BBQ FurMeet
When: Sunday 16th of April 2023, from 11am until 3pm
Where: BBQ ranges along the Yarra between Flinders Street Station and Richmond Station (follow the diagrams posted if you’re unsure)
Host: Reggie / Changy | @changymon

Hey folks,
Melbourne Furry Convention 2023 has been done and dusted, however we will still have our regular fur meets along the Yarra River.
Lee/Rave is currently unwell at the moment so I’ll host this meet (Changy/Reggie).
We'll be hosting at our usual spot, same place along Alexandra Avenue. It'll be on the Sunday, hope to see you all there!
There are no pre-requisites to being part of the furry fandom. You do not need a fursuit to attend, we’d love to have anyone interested in the Furry Fandom attend. If you're skittish about coming, (try) let the admins know. We'll always do our best to ensure you are comfortable and enjoying yourself. We understand social events can be daunting, our events normally don't have any scheduled activities to minimise pressure.
We’ll be cooking up a storm so drop a gold coin donation and dig in like you’re at Bunnings. 100% of your donation will go back into funding the BBQ and excess is collected to fund future events. We normally have regular ol’ meat sausages, white bread and hash browns.
We’ll be providing bottles of water, and there is also a drinking fountain/tap just next to our usual spot so let's do our best to look after the environment. There are plenty of areas to sit and take in the Melbourne weather. It is Autumn Melbourne weather so make sure to bring a windcheater or hoodie to stay warm.
We strive to make sure our space is welcoming to all attendees as this is a family-friendly and Child Safe event. All the hosts have their appropriate Working with Children’s Check. People of all ages normally attend; as the community grows, newcomers will also include minors. So be mindful of how you conduct yourself and interact amongst other attendees.
We've recently had complaints regarding questionable gear. This meet is an all-ages furry meet, not a pup-play meet so please do not bring harnesses or leashes as these are inappropriate.

Terms of Entry to our event include:
• If you are under 16, please be accompanied by a Parent, Guardian or friend that is over 18.
• Please keep it PG-13 and do not discuss adult / explicit topics conversations.
• If you are bringing any possessions, please be responsible about your belongings. Please refrain from bringing more than what a person would reasonably carry. We are not responsible if you lose something that you bought along.
• There are bins opposite to us, let’s keep the environment clean.
• This is a shared public space, we’re beside a footpath as well as a bike path. Please do not block the paths, we have been warned by Park Rangers about this. If we get fined because of this and you were responsible, we will forward you the invoice via telegram.
You can bring these items to make your time more comfortable:
• Snacks for yourself or to share.
• Picnic blanket so you don’t have to sit on the grass.
• A windcheater or coat so you can stay warm.
• Something to do.
• Fursuit (Please stay hydrated)
How to get there:
• The Meet will be held at the BBQ area along the southern side of the Yarra just east of Flinders street Station or south-west of Richmond Station on Alexandra Ave. Check the pictures in the discussion for visual aids.
• If you are taking public transport, you can hop off at Flinders Street Station or Richmond Station. If you want to arrive ASAP, getting off as Flinders Street Station (City Loop) is usually faster but a slightly longer walk. If you want to minimise on walking (carrying a lot of stuff) then we recommend walking from Richmond Station as it is the closer of the 2 stations.
• If you are driving, there is parking right by the area. It is normally metered on weekdays but is unlimited on weekends. (Free parking!)

If you have any questions or concerns, we can speak in private in person, over PM with the MFE page or with one of the admins in the telegram group.

Hey all,

Due to the weather forecast of heavy rain, I’ve made a decision to cancel tomorrows meet.

Please watch this channel for updates regarding any new events in the pipeline.

We apologise for any inconveniences caused because of this, however we cannot control the weather.
