Local events

Each state, and the ACT, holds several events each month for local members, where you can socialise and engage in interesting activities. Events may include Dinners, Movies, Book Clubs, Games sessions, Speaker meetings or excursions to place of interest. Many states have a dedicated Gifted Childrens Coordinator who organises a number of events targeted at children each year. See the Event Calendar for some idea of events in your area.
