Monthly Lunch with the RACI Vic Branch Retirees’ Group (February 2026 | In-Person)

Join Us for the RACI Vic Branch Retirees’ Group's Monthly Lunch in February at Graduate House!

Reconnect, network, and enjoy great company at the regular Vic Branch Retirees' Lunches! These recurring gatherings provide a wonderful opportunity to catch up with friends and colleagues, share experiences, and reflect on our shared journeys.

We warmly encourage retirees, aspiring retirees, and anyone else interested to join us, whether you're based in Melbourne, visiting from another state (or country), or participating in one of our virtual meetings from anywhere in the world. We'd love to see you in 2026!

Details

📅 Date: 3 February 2026

🕒 Time: 12 Noon

📍 Location: Graduate House, University of Melbourne

Getting There

Bus
The 241 bus stops on Grattan Street near the intersection with Leicester Street, just a short walk to Graduate House. (Note: this replaces the former 401 route.)

Tram
Alight at the nearest stop and walk west through Lincoln Square, cross Bouverie Street, continue along Pelham Street, then turn right into Leicester Street. This is the most direct walking route.

Train
Get off at Parkville Station and use the east exit onto Grattan Street. From there, it’s a short walk to Leicester Street and Graduate House.

Driving & Parking
Access the Graduate House car park via the small lane off Bouverie Street.
Please note this is not the large public underground car park nearby — the entrance lanes run parallel, so be sure to enter the correct one.

Registration is free, with any food or beverage purchases on the day are at attendees’ discretion.

Whether you're a regular participant or attending for the first time, this is the perfect chance to connect and spark new ideas. Don’t miss out, register today!

More Information

We meet monthly, typically on the first Tuesday (except in March & November), alternating between in-person and virtual gatherings. Our virtual meetings often feature a guest speaker, with details announced as they become available. Registration pages are published one month prior to each event.
