Picnic - Saturday 15 March at 12.30 pm

Hi all,

This great summer inspired us to organise for the next Welly Rocks meeting another picnic. This time in the Botanical Gardens at the Children`s Play Area on Saturday 15 March from 12.30 pm onwards. This is also a nice opportunity for mums&dads and kids to join in ! Depending on the weather conditions please check the website in the morning on March the 15th if the picnic will go on. When the weather is too bad for a picnic we will meet the same day (15March) also from 12.30 pm in the Speights Ale house "The Shepherd`s Arms" in Thorndon: http://www.shepherds.co.nz/

Anita's farewell

On a beautiful Sunday afternoon we had the first Welly Rocks meeting of 2008. Around 30 people turned up and it was great to meet a couple of new faces. Today was the last time Anita was around as she is heading off to Blenheim for a two year wine course. That's why Hilly Lutter and Marco van Hofwegen, who are going to to look after Welly Rocks, had not organised anything special but the sun. Blenheim had the most sun hours in 2007, but Wellington is doing very well in 2008 and hopefully the next meeting will be as beautiful as today.

Go Wellington!!!!!

Hilly & Marco

Reminder - Sunday 3 February 2008

Hi all,

It is great that Marco planned a meet up on Sunday 3 February from 12:30pm, since I am back in town and eager to meet you again and especially to welcome newcomers to the city.

Hopefully the summer will hold on for a little while, so we can enjoy the sun on the terrace of Mac's Brewery. For me it will be the last Welly Rocks for a while since I will be living outside Wellington, but luckily I found two volunteers to keep Wellington Rocking for us immigrants: Hilly Lutter and Marco van Hofwegen, who can be contacted via this website or on info@wellyrocks.com

See you next Sunday!

Anita

first Welly Rocks of 2008

Hello all

On Sunday 3 February from 12.30 pm onwards we will have the first Welly Rocks meet up of 2008.
This time it will be in Mac's 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 Sunday afternoon.

Xmas Party - Thursday 13 December

Since we are getting closer to the end of the year - you can notice this when the days are getting longer and longer and because Santa Claus arrived in town last week, I would like to suggest a Xmas Party on

Thursday 13 December 2007 from 5:00pm in The Jimmy Cafe (St James Theatre)

I have chosen this evening because the choir Nota Bene will be singing Christmas Carols and thus we can get in the right Xmas mood. However, for this event there is only limited space available and since The Jimmy will order some food for attendants (around $10 a head) I would like to know who is interested in this, before I make a final booking.
Please let me know by Monday 3 December noon on anita@wellyrocks.com if you would like to join and of course feel free to bring relatives from overseas, other family/friends, neighbours or who else might be interested, but please provide me with the number of people.

Cheers

Anita

Wasn't it a lovely afternoon?

It was great meeting a few new people in Wellington again and seeing a lot of familiar faces as well during a sunny afternoon in Wilton-Otari's Bush.

Since we are heading to Xmas now, the next meeting will have a Xmas flavour to it. You can already pencil in Thursday 13 December from 5pm in your calendar - details to follow soonest.
