Annual NZ Dinner: AKL 8 March 2025

[JessicaTam]

Are you interested in joining me for dinner in AKL?

Saturday 8 March 2025

Unfortunately @blackcat20 and @TomVexille may not be able to join us this year, but I will keep my fingers crossed.

See post #2 for venue details.

Edit: And a reminder that with all NZ dinners, please take an effort to dress up a bit. So the dress code is "lounge suit"*. (Cue the people who think they are funny! )

*Jacket and tie not obligatory.

 

[JessicaTam]

Dinner will be at Giraffe Restaurant, Viaduct Harbour. 85-87 Custom St West, Auckland.

This has been the location for the last couple of AFF NZ dinners and we have always been well looked after.

The booking is for 7.30pm

Giraffe Restaurant and a sample menu

Last minute edit: Pre dinner drinks may be found at the rooftop bar at Voco for those interested. DM @Dantas for details.
