The Victorian Rural Women’s Network (the Network) is excited to announce a new, free online networking event – Virtual Country Cuppas – connecting rural women at a time when they need it most.

Last year, the Network’s face-to-face Country Cuppas event attracted 600 rural women to 32 statewide gatherings. Virtual Country Cuppas takes this successful event online. Virtual Country Cuppas encourages rural women to connect online over a cuppa with other women in their networks to share ideas and experiences.

By registering to host a Virtual Country Cuppa, you can bring together an online gathering of friends and colleagues to reconnect in a relaxed and supportive environment. You could host a morning or afternoon tea, after-work ‘virtual drinks’ or an online catch up with your favourite community or parenting group.

The Network will provide you with all the information and resources you need to make your online event a success. You can connect via a Zoom video chat or feel free to host your event on your preferred video conferencing platform instead (e.g. Facebook Messenger, Skype). You will have access to a free Zoom training webinar and further free personal development tools.

Virtual Country Cuppas will be held from 23 May to 31 May. You can choose any day and time over that period to host your own online event for up to 10 guests.

Register now to host a Virtual Country Cuppa and find out more at Eventbrite (including Terms and Conditions for this online event). Registrations close at midnight Sunday 24 May.
