Upperroom - New Venue Search & Review
August 5, 2008 · Print This Article
Ok Guys Last night I found out that the S-bar has sold. So a big thanks to the S-Bar owners and staff for being great hosts. Now of course, we will need to find a new home for the upperroom. So next month we will be in a different space. somewhere???
Assuming people want to keep going.
So this also creates a natural space to have review of the upper room project.
What is good,useful etc?
What needs work?
The vision=
The Upper Room Project meets the first Monday of each month (6-8:30pm) to engage with spirituality and justice as struggled with and fought for by the Prophets and Jesus. We meet in the S Bar (Shop 18, Village Walk, O’Sullivan Road, Glen Waverley ) with gallery space, discussion corners, opportunity for practical response and pondering space.We hope the upper room will be
- Space to rest/relax with your tribe
- Be challenged by the prophetic call of compassion
- Connect with heartbeats for living
There will be food, wine and friends plus
- a gallery space for photos and other art.
- activist space - activities, information and people deeply into that topic to meet
- conversational space - multimedia and communally led (an interview, music, texts, a place to chat)
Arg!?! A new venue again. This is a new opportunity.
Are we still looking for something around Glen Waverley?
Well today I was scouting Blackburn and Glen Waverley…wondering about Ringwood
My thinking was that we should stay with train lines and not move to far from where people have committed to regularly.
Why? What/where ya thinking?
I heard Shine have asked us back under better conditions…..
I think one consideration if we go somewhere else is that there is a good range of price options foodwise, lots of uni students tended to pop in later, if we don’t have the spending criteria Shine might be the go again.
Yeah so far the other options I have looked at are tooooo $$$$ for our crowd or the venue is to small.
Shine has the pizza at a good price. And seem to be the most likely option so far. And yes we would go back on much better conditions with no spending criteria.
The main problem is we go back to no disable access. It seems that currently we either go without public transport or disable access.
We now have a good set up with Shine. Kenny from S-Bar is now working there and will be our host and run the bar and orders from upstairs.
So it looks like the upper room project is back upstairs.
