Founded in 2010, The Lunaticks Society is an incorporated association dedicated to promoting digital innovation and new ideas in Newcastle and Regional Australia. The Lunaticks Society Name We are named after a famous dinner club and informal group of prominent industrialists, natural philosophers and intellectuals, who met regularly between 1765 and 1813 in Birmingham, England to debate the new thinking of the industrial revolution. They were called Lunar Society of Birmingham and its members cheerfully referred to themselves as “Lunaticks.” Rather than steam engines and cotton mills, our bunch of Lunaticks discuss the digital revolution.
