Happy January everyone! We here at the Guild are super excited to kick off this new year with our first monthly meeting! This month, we really have a treat lined up for you all with a deep dive into the ancient history of CSFG.
This coming Wednesday 21 January at 7:30pm-9pm, join us in person at the Burns Club in Kambah or online via zoom to listen to some of the founding members of CSFG talk about the origins of the guild, how it was founded, and what it was like compared to today. Yes, we have sourced these historians of our nerdly past straight from the archives and they are eager to come and chat with us about what things used to be like!
For any newcomers to the Guild who wish to join us in person, we meet in the McLeod room at the Burns club, and will have people in the room from 7pm to set up the teleconferencing. People are welcome to show up from 7pm to hang out and chat ahead of the meeting.
Links to join hybrid meetings online will be shared through csfg.groups.io and the CSFG Discord server ahead of the meeting!
February Meeting
Everyone loves a Special General Meeting, which is why we have booked one in for February! The committee need to make some updates to our constitution in line with changes to rules around not-for-profits, and a proposed CSFG AI policy for membership to vote on. You can view these documents in the agenda, but they will be shared at the meeting as well if you don’t get a chance to read them.
If you are someone who doesn’t appreciate the high octane thrills of policy wording, we will also make sure to arrange a speaker or cool topic for the event as well.
You can see the agenda for our SGM here: CSFG SGM 18 February 2026
If members have any particular interests or topics you want to see discussed in meetings for the year, let us know! Each month the committee tries to organise to chat about something interesting or do a mini-workshop for Guild Members. If you have ideas or requests, reach out to us at [email protected] to let us know!
