I am an ASV member though not a very active one due to time pressure.
I have found the ASV to be a pretty good bunch, if you were quick in getting a membership happening there is a members only star party on at the ASV site near Heatcote this weekend. I have not been to that one myself but I believe there is usually a pretty good turnout. At those events peole are usually really happy to chat and to observe through each others scopes. I try to get to the Messier star party each year at the ASV site.
Aside from that, it is a bit out of your way (Even more so for me from Kilmore) but the Mount Burnett observatory in the Dandenongs is a really good community too. They have meetings there on Fridays with talks of a more or less formal nature, depending on the topic of the day.
