Yes! These are DW-related pub gatherings. They have been a life saver for me. I moved from Cairns to Sydney (for hubby's work) a few months ago and didn't know anyone here. I tried playgroup associations to meet other mums but most were snobby and not very nice. Couldn't find any other groups like art or book clubs etc to meet people so I turned to the other thing I love - Science Fiction.
I found the DWCA http://www.doctorwhoaustralia.org/index.html they have a monthly pub meet up called 'Tavern'. They also have other events through the year which I haven't been to yet. Real diverse range of people. Still have not met any mothers but they are nice people to chat to. My whole life I never had anyone much to geek-out with before now either. And now I know someone who has a Tardis in their garage. OMG!
