Melbourne Reptile Keeping Excellence Masterclass Workshop

We are hosting our next gathering for The Reptile Keepers Masterclass Social Club, focusing on the practical side of reptile husbandry and maintaining long-term health for our animals. This session is designed to move beyond the basics, offering a space where we can troubleshoot common challenges, share insights on enclosure optimization, and discuss the nuances of refined keeping practices. Whether you are an experienced hobbyist or someone looking to elevate your current standards of care, this workshop is a great opportunity to connect with others who take their commitment to these animals seriously. The afternoon will be informal but focused, providing plenty of time for hands-on discussion and questions. We want this to be a genuine exchange of knowledge where everyone feels comfortable sharing what has worked for them and what hasn't. Our goal is to foster a supportive local network where we can all learn from each other's experiences in a collaborative environment. If you are interested in joining us for this session, please make sure to RSVP at your earliest convenience so we can manage numbers for the space. We look forward to seeing everyone there and hearing about your latest projects.

Presenting - Stage style & class workshop

Smashing! Try something new Thursday Interactive reality workshops- Tonight get involved and have some fun. Tonight we study and learn unique stage styles and techniques of world-class presenters. Be inspired by the styles of Barack Obama, Steve Jobs, Martin Luther King, etc. Add class, presence, vocal variety and impact to your own presentations. Serious about improving your leadership - **Why mess, come to the best** Why is Smashing different to other speaking clubs? Just two member's thoughts, "The fun/laughs factor is definitely a point of difference. We keep it moving with high standards so it’s a nice balance. Too strict makes it tense and boring, too loose and we can lose the energy/commercial feel. SmashSpeak's vibe's in the sweet spot." "At other clubs I used to listen to long speeches and lectures, here we get so many chances to talk every meeting, that we have to improve" **Free parking** close: O'Connell and Cobden streets **IMPORTANT: Be on time, as doors close when the show starts** “Proudly Australian" – Free-flowing teamwork, greater good focus, sharing the stage, etc Multicultural Hub, 506 Elizabeth St (Opposite Queen Vic Market) Level 1, RED Room (End of corridor) More to come...
