Things we get asked a lot

Nobody expects you to scream "This new group is where I belong".

The feeling of belonging happens when you meet other members and get involved.

No, although we will be seeking one in the future.

For now, all projects and club activities are done by members using their own equipment. Attending an event is the best way to get involved.

NO!

Our community operates similar to a movie night with friends or family. Any time your friend group has been over 5 people together at once, you have been in a similar environment.

Regardless of your comfort level there should be a variety of ways to meet members without incident. For your first attendance in the group, choose an event to your liking or contact info@tinkertribe.com.au about your interest as we may have other events planed which are not yet on the schedule.
