If you go to Wadham House, 52 Wadham Parade, Mt Waverley, Melbourne Australia from ~2:30 Saturday 18th you're likely to see some old relics from the early days of personal computing; and some of them will probably bring some old computer equipment.
It doesn't seem to be mentioned on https://www.facebook.com/MICOM -The-Microcomputer-Club-of-Mel bourne-147406550461/?fref=ts

A bit of life at https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/micommem but it's a closed Google group you have to apply to join.
It may appear that The Grand Conspiracy inconvenienced LUV by arranging maintenance of the LUV Beginner's venue to avoid a conflict with the MiCOM'S 40th anniversary. No no no!
Actually the original MiCOM group was influenced in early 1977 to adopt the third Saturday for meetings so that their 40th Anniversary Meeting would be on the same day that LUV Beginners WEREN'T going to have a meeting! Presumably THEY wanted some LUVee Loveys that once were were MiCOM LUVers to turn up at the underwhelming 40th wet blanket. (I think they are also behind Mark's Willow stump problem for opposite reasons ;~)
I say RESIST!
Don't let THEM push you around! Spend the time preparing White Knight sorry, "White Night" placards & costumes to show your support for the only people that can save us from Hilarious & other elitists' CONsPiracy :- President Donald Jesus Trump and his mentor Lyndon LaRouche!
The 6th Multicore World will be held on Monday 20th to Wednesday 22nd of
February 2017 at Shed 6 on the Wellington (NZ) waterfront. Nicolás Erdödy
(Open Parallel) has once again done an amazing job at finding some the
significant speakers in the world in parallel programming and multicore
systems to attend. Although a short - and not an enormous conference - the
technical quality is always extremely high, dealing with some of the most
fundamental problems and recent experiences in these fields.
This year's conference includes figures such as Tony Hey
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Hey) speaking on the convergence of
data and compute, Michelle Simmons
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michelle_Simmons) on quantum computing,
John Gustafson
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Gustafson_%28scientist%29) on hardware
for universal numbers, Satoshi Matsuoka on Japanese HPC, Big Data, and
artificial intelligence, Juan Carlos Guzman and Andrew Ensor on
developments with the Square Kilometer Array, Nathan DeBardeleben on
supercomputer resilience, Happy Sithole on using OpenStack for HPC in
Africa, and many other high quality speakers (even some politicians).
For anyone interesting in parallel programming and high throughput
computing this is certainly one of the best local conferences that
concentrates with a laser-like focus on those subjects.
Of course, you do have to put up with me being MC. :)
