Picnic - Saturday 17 November 2007 at noon

The weather will not get any better than this blue sky and nice sun - so, yes, the picnic is ON today.
See you soon!

Our last meeting in the Jimmy on Friday 19 October was quiet, mainly because of the long Labour weekend, but again we could welcome new people to Wellington. This time Sheila and Aron form the USA who had just arrived two days before. However, the success of Welly Rocks is not dependent on the amount of people attending alone, but also on the contacts/friendships that are made/intensified. In that respect it again was a successful meeting in my opinion.

But now the weather seems to be improving and some of you might remember the very successful picnic meeting at the beginning of this year in Otari Wilton's Bush. And although it is not summer yet (today it felt like summer to me) I want to plan a picnic meeting again. Anyone up for this idea?

Please let me know, because when enough of you are enthousiastic about it, I want to plan this on Saturday 17 November in Otari Wilton's Bush at the Troup Picnic Area from noon onwards, weather permitting. If it is really bad we could postpone to the next Saturday.

Cheers,
Anita

Meet Up - Friday 19 October 2007 at 5pm

Since the last successful evening in the Jimmy on a Friday in August, I thought it would be nice to have another relaxed after work meeting there just before the long Labour Weekend. You can find the Jimmy Cafe in the Westpac St James Theatre on Courtenay Place (opposite the Reading Cinema complex).

So, if you would like to relax a bit with a nice bunch of people come along on Friday 19 October from 5pm

Drinks are cheap ($4 on selected drinks) and you will get a 10% discount card to use for all the other drinks and food (until the end of the year)

And as always, feel free to bring along your friends - especially when they are new to the city.

See you,
Anita van Hofwegen

Rugby - Sunday 7 October 8:00am

Hello All,

On Sunday 7 October at 8:00am (NZ time) the quarter final between the All Blacks and France will be played in Cardiff.
The Speights Ale House at Tinakori Road will be open from 07:00am (also serving breakfast) and I think this is a fantastic opportunity for all of us to catch up again and to meet some other (new) Wellingtonians.

If you would like to join me - please flick me an e-mail at wellyrocks@gmail.com by Saturday noon at the latest with the amount of people (you can bring your friends), so I can inform the people at the pub about numbers. (And don't forget to practise the national anthem - the NZ-one!!!! in both languages).
