Pictures of meet up

On a lovely Saturday we had another meet up in Macs brewery and this time we welcomed 3 new migrants. Most of the people who attended the meet did not see the fantastic win of the local rugby heroes. This was only because of the lively conversations and when we left it was nearly midnight.

Welly Rocks Meet Up Next - Saturday 25th April 2009

The next Welly Rocks Meet up will be on Saturday 25 April 2009 and has a special subject: Rugby. It is the day that the local Wellington team The Hurricanes play against The Brumbies from Canberra, Australia in the Super 14 competition.

We will gather around 4.30 p.m. in Mac's Brewery to welcome newcomers in Wellington and enjoy this spacious and nicely situated bar close to the Te Papa museum.

The game starts at 07.35 p.m. and there are big screens to watch the game in the bar. Alternatively, for those who will be heading towards the stadium, you can always kick off with a few rounds of drinks at Mac's. It is also a perfect opportunity to find out what the rules of rugby are if you are not familiar with the game.

Cheers

Meet up Saturday 28 March 2009

Hello all

On Saturday 28 March from 13.30 pm onwards there will be the second Welly Rocks meet up of 2009. This time it will be in Macs Brewery, so close to Te Papa for those who want to visit the museum as well. It is a great opportunity to meet each other and welcome migrants who recently arrived in Wellington.
Feel free to bring family or friends so they can meet other migrants and have a nice Saturday afternoon.

Picnic 31 January 2009

Hello everyone

The last Welly Rocks meet up event was a picnic in Otari's Wilton Bush and we had a great time and perfect weather conditions. As January is a month with a lot of new migrants arriving it is time for an outdoor event again. A picnic is a real kiwi tradition in summertime and therefore to welcome the newcombers but also to meet people you have not seen for a while it will be another picnic in Otari Wilton's Bush.
The picnic will be held on 31 January from noon onwards (weather permitting) in the Troup Picinic Area of Otari Wilton's Bush, a great place to meet, play or have a walk through the parc/bush. On Saturday morning 31 January a note will be put on this tread so you can check if the picinic will go ahead.
There is a barbeque area so if you want to have a bbq, bring some coins with you and enjoy the barbie and a drink.

See you next week

the perfect weather conditions for a picnic

And again we had a spring picnic in Wilton Otari Bush. Last year the weather was perfect but yesterday it was maybe even better. Imgaine how summer will be!!
We welcomed four new families of which one arrived 5 days ago and we are already looking forward to the next meet up because we know that there are new migrant arriving within the next couple of weeks.
December will be busy with all kind of Christmas functions so probably at the end of January will be the next meet up.

Cheers
