Unfortunately I only attended an event I organised as I had to miss one after I signed up.
40k Tournament
Glass of aeons was fun because of the group dynamic
Game Discovery Day was an awesome opportunity to try other systems and I thought it was organised well. There's potential here to encourage new people to the group. This was the event where I brought my brother along and he's now into Kill Team. Juan did a super job running Quar. The work behind the scenes on the scenarios and the terrain really made the event special. Here's to hoping that niche player base grows. The Blood Bowl league was mostly great. I had no real experience going in and enjoyed learning on the go. I think it suffered from a long cycle (should've wrapped in 10 weeks) and I think better expectations on the length of a match would improve the overall experience.
Dadhammer was brilliant, encouraging frequent games against some players I’ve not met before. Really enjoyed the atmosphere and attitude everyone displayed during the event.
The Melbourne gt for Shatterpoint was special as it felt like a huge milestone for the game!
No standouts, all events were ran very well and I was very happy with all I attended.

The infinity events and the learn-to-play games day as they allowed for meeting a wide range of people
Dadhammer. For an one day event though, Spearhead.
Shatterpoint GT
Purple pallet, was the best. I did attend a couple of infinity events. But I wasn't utterly destroyed in the purple pallet xD
The main one that comes to mind was Nathan's Spearhead event. It ran really smoothly, the games went really well; the community was great and it felt like the true casual experience it was meant to be rather than something hyper competitive.
I attended the Alpha Strike blind box even at Guf. (I think that was 2025... 😂)
The Dadhammer event was good. I liked how it was once a fortnight for 6 games with different people. It's hard to attend weekly stuff with kids, and the pre-arranfed opponents made it easy to meet new people.
From memory I only attended one or two shatterpoint events but they've always been welcoming to new players and out-of-meta play styles which has been when I find the most fun.
War for Werribee, great venue and great crew
Melb GT, because I came second and beat Luke Thompson 🤣
Shatterpoint i think in november/december. Was a fun day
i did not attend any but i regret not joining the blood bowl league last year would have loved that one
Dadhammer. Everyone brought an off meta list making it fun to work around
Keep up the good work!
I'm down for any narrative stuff. More than happy to help with 40K particularly. This year I would like to see a WARSURGE event whether it's small casual day or a participation game.
More Battletech. Even though I realise that there are only a handful of players, and they play other games as well.
This year was my first time attending competitive events and it was quite daunting at first. Any systems to help make new players feel more comfortable would go a long way I think.
Community painting events would be a good way for folks to meet and learn. I think it would be interesting to see how other people paint there minis "from scratch", as opposed to just wips in the discord.
No, I'm just happy to get to know this excellent community better.

More hobby days i guess
my suggestion is keep up the good work :) - Jack H
Armies on parade. Potentially run during a time when most people are available. Mid year maybe?
Sometimes it can get crowded and loud; but thats normal and it was before the changes in their setup.
My experience at Guf Werribee has been positive. Staff are polite and are helpful. Effort was made by the crew to keep rowdy/loud players in check which I appreciated.
Can get VERY noisy, especially when there are TCG players as well.
Guf can often be loud and cramped. It feels like there is a clear preference for TCG players and as a miniature gamer I feel like a burden and not wanted in the store.
My wife mentioned that she didn't feel uncomfortable and it didn't smell in there, which is about as glowing feedback as she's ever given for any event I've been to.
It’s good if you have a small group
Sound deadening. Due to the brick walls, it gets very loud quickly.
Not applicable as I am staff
It’s nearby! And we’ve been going there forever.
Felt like being shoved in the back area was a little poor. Having to wade past people playing card games was a tad annoying. Felt like we couldn't game or be too boisterous because we would interrupt.
Grea venue just be good to see less clutter
I attended alpha strike blind box event. Everyone had a blast, we all ended up with some new mechs. Great day!

If only it was physically closer to my house haha.
You guys rock. The passion for the hobby is apparent in every staff member, and I'm always made to feel welcome.
They’ve set the bar for what a venue can offer!
Parking is an issue, not one they can easily fix I know
Gaming Arena tables are the best but ticket prices and what's included under that can be restrictive

Have you asked Wyndham City Council for their advice?
I'm aware that venues get noisy, especially due to higher ceilings and non-carpeted floors. This is one of the main reasons I avoid many of them.
Gaming Arena is a bit of a hike from Werribee, especially when you've got small kids.

I personally don't mind paying for an ongoing subscription/membership for Mini Myths. I think the value proposition is already there (Discord access, other tools like Battleplan). If it helps the club grow I reckon roll it out and build on the features from there. I am excited about the prospect of a regular monthly meet. That's something I can plan in advance in my calendar and lock in some hobby/social/game time.

Event cost, I chose the $30 option, but I didn't want to. I consider it relative to the each individual event. The "regular Mini Myths meet-up" question, I answered monthly, but again it would be relative.
The mini myths community you created is without a doubt the single most positive thing in my life and has been for some time. I can't thank you enough for what you've done for me, and the community at large.
I think Bam needs a haircut, and a spare day.

Nah, it's a great club. I love how inclusive it is.
A mix of casual and competitive events
You doing a great job
Mini Myths is doing a great job with great community members hosting successful events and i look forward to seeing more events this year :)
Moving in positive direction. Now events and involvement requires more people. Maybe for the now popular game modes, have a competitive and casual host who can work together
Nothing I haven’t said to you in person
Possibly archiving inactive channels as there are a lot of channels that are very inactive and outdated
Keep the good work up maybe more noob friendly events
Mini myths and more specifically the people behind it continue to exceed all expectations in their dedication to the gaming community. Almost 4 years into being associated with the club and I’m still blown away by how well everything is run and I can’t go to a single event without talking about how amazing my local community is.

Keep being great and true to yourself.
Keep doing what we're doing

All going well
Bam; you are doing an incredible job running all of this and I look forward to seeing just what magestic ideas you have for us.
I don't particularly participate with the club but everyone I speak to online are super friendly. The club seems to be mostly Games Workshop centric but that is fine but would be great if it expanded a bit more beyond that franchise. But overall happy with the Discord channel.
Personally I've been quite detached from mini-wargaming lately due to a number of factors (Time, competing games, life, etc.) so my feedback comes with a grain of salt. The community is really nice in my experience with people always willing to help others learn and grow. There's a couple outliers when it comes to competition where you will just get stomped into the dirt but it is a game at the end of the day. I'd love to see cross-pollination into other games with even just the accessories as a way to build visibility (deck boxes and mini-myths tokens for MTG as an example), the desk mats are an excellent toe in the water for this and I'm hoping to grab one soon.
Keep up the great work
