[ATTN: Please remember the new location for the dojos: the Jenny Florence Room, Level 3, Ross House at 247 Flinders Lane, Melbourne.

3:30pm start / arrival - formal dojo activities will commence at 4:00pm.]

The Less Wrong Sunday Rationality Dojos are crafted to be serious self-improvement sessions for those committed to the Art of Rationality and personal growth. Each month a community member will run a session involving a presentation of content, discussion, and exercises.

Continuing the succession of immensely successful dojos, Patrick will run a session on Ghetto Research (or how to collect data with limited resources).

As always, we will review the personal goals we committed to at the previous Dojo (I will have done X by the next Dojo). Our goals are now being recorded via Google Forms here - https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1MCHH4MpbW0SI_2JyMSDlKnnGP4A0qxojQEZoMZIdopk/viewform, and Melbourne Less Wrong organisers have access to the form results if you wish to review the goals you set last month.

This month, we are also seeking 2-3 lightning talks from members. Speakers will be limited to 5 minutes with room for questions. We will be asking for talks from attendees present, but if you already have a talk topic in mind, please contact Louise at lvalmoria@gmail.com

The Dojo is likely to run for 2-3 hours, after which some people will get dinner together.

If you have any trouble finding the venue or getting in, call Louise on 0419 192 367.

If you would like to present at a future Dojo or suggest a topic, please fill it in on the Rationality Dojo Roster: http://is.gd/dojoroster

October's social meetup is scheduled for this Friday (17th October) as usual. This month, we will be returning to Alchemist's Refuge. Our social meetups are relaxed, informal events where we chat and often play games. The start and finish times are very loose - people will be coming and going throughout the night, so don't worry if you are coming later or have to leave early.

Where? Alchemist's Refuge, 328 Little Lonsdale St, Melbourne - near the corner of Queen St, downstairs from Games Laboratory (note: last month's announcement incorrectly listed the address as Lt Collins St, don't be fooled!)

When? From 6:30pm until late, Friday October 17th

Contact? If you have any questions, just text or call Richard on 0421231789

Dinner? There are a number of take-away places nearby that deliver to Alchemist's Refuge. It is also quite likely that a group of us will go to Stalactites for late night souvlakis after Refuge closes at about 11pm.

Games? Alchemist's Refuge do allow board games and they also have a number that can be borrowed for a minor fee. Ask around and you'll easily find some others to join you!
