I've just visited their website http://www.redhatsociety.com/ and found
out that they have chapters in over 25 countries! And altough I've never
seen them in the Netherlands there should be 43 chapters in my country.
John, Australia is in there with 157 chapters, 4 of them in Brisbane. So
what IS going on in Brisbane then???

To Reka: It is a pity, but there is no group in Italy, nor in Austria. I
guess the nearest for you would be Geneve in Switzerland. But you could
always start one yourself when you are old enough!

Greets, Niek

Hey, John! Next you'll be bringing out that old chestnut about
Queensland -
"Ladies & gentlemen, we are about to land in Brisbane. Please set
your watches
back one hour, and your calendars back 100 years".

Can't see this catching on in Australia though.

I do know of a group in Tasmania, so there must be a few in Australia as
well!

Oof! By then there'll be something new! Or we'll all be dead...

I have to apologies to the group. It seems there is even a chapter
Melbourne, though I have never seen them about. Amazing what you learn on
the Internet!

It is such an unlikely phenomenon that no apologies are needed
Several years ago my wife was exposed to them and was curious, I
researched them online and showed her what they were doing around here.
Fortunately she decided they were a bit too 'Women's Clubbish' for her
and didn't join. The "Master Gardeners" filled that need for her.
