Mac,
Nepean amateur beekeepers meet once a month, every second Sunday of the month, around 9.30 start, at Nepean high school. You enter by the gate on the south side of the school, it's in a shed right up the back, near the poultry. Close the gates, they have sheep and cowson site grazing the footie field. It's a friendly group, always some beginners.
See ya there sometime
