Queensland's premier wine & food society for women

Membership

Being a member of Dionysus is very rewarding. If you think you would like to join Dionysus you must first attend 2 lunches as a guest. If you do not know a Dionysus member you may contact the current club president to arrange this. See the 'About' link above for current contact details.
Once you have attended 2 lunches as a guest you will be invited to join Dionysus and given a copy of the club rules and code of conduct. A one off joining fee and the annual membership fee is due upon joining. The cost of attending each monthly lunch is currently $80 and payable to the club secretary on the day of the lunch. To ensure that each monthly lunch runs smoothly, members are required to RSVP to the club secretary on the date stated in the monthly newsletter. Failure to RSVP will result in the member being charged for the lunch even if she doesn't attend.
After being a member for more than 6 months you will be asked to participate in 'critiquing' and after being a member for over a year you be rostered to host a lunch. There is a huge amount of support from older members for new members undertaking these tasks for the first time as this is the cornerstone of learning in the club. After being a member for a few years you will be asked to consider being on the committee. The longevity and success of Dionysus is due to the skills and talents of its members.
