At 8pm sharp, our April Club night guest speaker promises to be another phenomenal guest from the Australian Marine Conservation Society (AMCS), Tara Jones!
The AMCS is an independent charity, staffed by a committed group of scientists, educators and passionate advocates who have defended Australia’s oceans since 1965. Our staff work every day to protect our coasts and oceans.

- And you, our community of ocean lovers save our oceans every day
