Mini-Gatherings

Keep the Convergence spirit going during the year!

Mini-Gatherings happen several times during the year and are an excellent way to socialise, meet up with other Convergence people again, prepare for the next Convergence, get a bit of site maintenance work done, and keep the ticket price down. There'll be something for everyone, not just those who want to wield a chainsaw. It's volunteer lead, co-created - shaped by the people who are present

More details will be available closer to each one in the newsletter, which we aim to publish about 2 weeks before each gathering. Don't forget to send in your items for it.
