WA Sundowner April 2022

From January to October the WA Branch Committee will host monthly informal networking events in the form of after-work Sundowner drinks. Each month we'll have an interesting topic for discussion and the opportunity to meet and catch up with other AWA members and non-members. Events are free, with a bar available at the venue to purchase your own drinks. Food is also available to purchase. We look forward to seeing you for a casual gathering of like-minded water sector professionals!

Our sundowners are for both members and non-members and you are welcome to bring a friend. Pre-registration is not required, you can simply turn up! Please ensure you sign-in via the WASafe or ServiceWA App at the venue and complete our Attendance Register available on arrival.
