Hello and Welcome Beautiful Humans!
Please find below some information that might be useful for your networks.
Although most of the initial release of Queer Social classes sold out immediately, we have some free tickets reserved for people who can’t afford a ticket at this time. First Nations Attendees, PoC and Trans pals are prioritised for these tickets.
Feel free to contact us if you have someone within your network you would like us to allocate some tickets to.
Thanks again for all your ongoing support and for helping spread the word about this new event.
We are hoping that these events, in there own little way, will provide some much needed social connection, human interaction and fun, that so many of us need during this time.
Sending you all digital hugs & love,
Maria & delsi xx
