28 September and pictures

Thanks for coming along at our meet up in the Speights Ale House and it was great to welcome a couple of new faces on this beautiful spring day. Because the Botanical Gardens celebrated the yearly Tulip Day it was a bit busy on Tinakori Road, but still a lot of you could make it. The meet up was a less Soccer Meet Up as planned and in the end only four went to the stadium. We do hope they enjoyed the match and as the Wellington Phoenix won with 2-1 it must have been a great atmosphere.
Unfortunately, our specials guest, the journalist of Radio New Zealand could not make it at the last moment but he already mentioned that he want to come along for our next meet up.

Anyway as we said, it was a great meet up again! Hope to seeing you all at the next event !Cheers,

Hilly & Marco

additional information 28 September meet up

Hi All

We have been approached by Tim Graham, a journalist/reporter of Radio New Zealand News. While Tim was surfing the web he came across Welly Rocks and its activities and became interested in this social network group.
On Friday 12 September Hilly and Marco had a meeting with Tim and discussed what he wants to do. As a result of our very pleasant meeting we have invited him to attend our next meet up on Sunday 28 September in the Speights bar, which is on the same day the Wellington Phoenix play against Sydney FC. For those who are interested in watching the game in the stadium, a perfect place to gather. Tim would like to interview some of the Welly Rocks members. In general the questions will involve your immigration to NZ and Wellington in particular and the Welly Rocks meet ups. The interviews won't take long and will be broadcasted on National Radio in the program's " Morning Report" from 6am-9am or " Check Point" from 5pm-7pm. This will confirmed by Tim at a later stage.
For Welly Rocks this is a recognition of bringing (new) migrants together and a wonderful opportunity to promote the social meet ups. So we would like to remind you on the next meet up on Sunday 28 September at 2.30 pm in Speight's Ale House in Thorndon, everybody welcome, even when you're not a football fan !
