| 9-11 April | Fri to Sun | MARF 2010! MARF - the Mid-Autumn Recurring Furmeet - is a casual and low-budget furmeet taking place over a weekend in Autumn, open to all furries of all ages, with a focus on socialising and getting to know your fellow furs. It also fills in the 'Autumn school/university holidays' gap (with RivFur in the Winter, FurJAM in the Spring, and MiDFur in the Summer holidays). It will ideally take place in a different capital city each year, for new locations and new events. Events will cater for all-ages, and be free or low-cost. MARF 2010 The inaugural MARF will be held in Melbourne, on the weekend of April 9 - 11. See the schedule for MARF! If you are attending MARF, please sign up! While most events are free and open, some require accurate numbers to attend, and the more accurate idea we have of numbers the smoother the events will go. If you are a local fur and would like to volunteer to help out on the Saturday and/or Sunday events, please let us know! Please remember, this event is open to all, and its goal above all else is to provide an environment to meet new people, catch up with old friends, and have a lot of fun! See you all in April! http://marf.thelair.org/ |
