NeuroSparks Social Meetup

👋 NeuroSparks Fortnightly Social Meetup
​
Come along for a relaxed afternoon of games, conversation and hanging out with other neurodivergent adults. New faces are very welcome!
​
📅 WHEN
​
Saturday 7th November, 12:30 to 3:30 pm. Come and go anytime.
​
📍 WHERE
​
Majorca Room, City Library, 253 Flinders Lane, Melbourne.
​
♿ ACCESS
​
The room is accessible via the lift or stairs in the foyer.
​
CASUAL, WITH A LITTLE STRUCTURE
​
We'll have four loosely organised zones to give you a few ways to connect:

🧱 Build Zone: build, tinker or make something while hanging out.
🎲 Games Zone: card games and board games. Join a game or watch for a while.
💬 Chat & Special Interest Zone: have a casual chat or share something you're passionate about. Listening is welcome too!
😌 Quiet Zone: a calmer corner to take a breather or enjoy quiet company, with fidgets if available. You're welcome to bring your own. This is a shared room, so we can't promise complete silence.

These are options, not a schedule. There's no pressure to perform, introduce yourself to everyone or join any particular activity.
​
Feel free to move between zones throughout the afternoon, meet different people and try different things. Staying with one activity or simply hanging out is completely fine too.
​
👋 COMING ALONE?
​
That's absolutely fine! Many people come on their own, so you'll be in good company. Our organisers are welcoming and happy to help you find an activity or join a conversation. You don't need to know anyone beforehand or have a clever opening line ready.
​
🍎 GAMES, FOOD & DRINKS
​
Feel free to bring board games or card games, as well as your own food and drinks. There's a café downstairs and plenty nearby. Please clean up after yourself so we can continue using the venue.
​
🌿 NEED A BREAK?
​
You can step away whenever you need to. There's also a quiet study room next door where you can take some time out.
​
⚠️ CONCERNS
​
If another attendee's behaviour makes you uncomfortable, or you notice a hazard, incident or injury, please tell an organiser promptly so we can respond.
​
📸 PHOTOS & VIDEO
​
We may occasionally take photos or short videos to share NeuroSparks activities with our community and supporters. You're welcome to opt out: tell an organiser and we won't intentionally photograph or film you.
​
📋 RSVPS
​
Attendance is capped at 50. If you RSVP and can no longer attend, please cancel so someone else can take your place. If Meetup prompts you to pay when joining the waitlist, ignore it. This event is free.
​
🛡️ SAFETY & RESPONSIBILITY
​
This is an adult community meetup, not a clinical or crisis service. Organisers don't provide individual supervision, personal care or medical support. Please arrange your own support person if needed and contact us beforehand about access.
​
Respect consent, privacy and personal boundaries. Follow venue rules and safety directions, use materials safely and look after your belongings. Harassment or unsafe behaviour may result in being asked to leave.
​
Report injuries, hazards or concerns promptly. In an emergency, call 000 and alert an organiser or library staff. These expectations do not exclude rights or responsibilities under Australian law.
