This is not our usual MAC LIBRARY EVENT however if you feel uncomfortable at any time, you can ask Rebecca to link you in with someone!! We have many friendly non judgemental faces within our community and all you have to do is notify Bec if you struggle. In all our events you should expect adults having wholesome fun and letting lose whilst being challenged to push some comfort zones - we invite you to do as well! We have witnessed many wonderful long term friendships formed at MAC so we do hope you join us! As long we remember to uphold the MAC values of kindness, thoughtfulness and respect, you are bound to find your tribe! **THANK YOU FOR YOUR DONATIONS** A big thank you to everyone who RSVPs - This money helps with the club's upkeep and hiring of the venue!
