SANDPIT - Happy Festivus!

Sydney Peeps! Merry almost Christmas! Welcome to the final Sandpit for 2017 and the Creative Plus Business Christmas Drinkies. Time to meet up again with some fabulous creative people, have a few Festivus drinkies, laughter & cheer, plus a few extra surprises, on Wednesday 6th December 2017 from 7pm in the beer garden at The Bank Hotel, Newtown. Come along and celebrate your year, good or bad, and welcome a brave new one with us!

All guests will be entitled to bubbles, nibblies and some very fine Lucky Door Prizes! Hope to see you there!

Why is The Sandpit “non-networking”? Because we meet to make friends, have a few drinks and find like-minded creative people. Golden Sandpit Rules: We DO NOT meet to pitch, annoy each other or be wankers. Please DO bring your business cards though, just in case you connect with someone awesome.

Date: Wednesday 6th December 2017, 7 - 10pm
Venue: The Bank Hotel, 324 King Street Newtown
Cost: FREE!
RSVP: Follow the link to RSVP here

Deadlines Dreams and Goals 2018

We're still devising our workshop and event calendar for 2018, but we do have our first for the year all ready to go!

Sydney peeps! Setting goals can be extremely difficult, because it requires an answer to that vexing age-old question “What do you want?”. And once goals have been set, how do we find the time to keep them? And what about all those other deadlines and our long-term dreams?

In this fun and practical one-day workshop, creative participants learn how to brainstorm and identify what they want in their business, professional, creative and personal lives – and then make a plan to get there.

WHEN? Saturday 24th February 2018, 10am to 4pm
WHERE? Suite 3, Level 1, 66 Oxford Street DARLINGHURST
COST? $98.00 inc fees
