Annual NZ Dinner: AKL 8 March 2025

[JessicaTam]

@JessicaTam we might invite our 2 well-travelled cousins we are staying with if that is ok?
They love Giraffe and have taken us there previously. Assuming they wish to join us. Alternately they could make a separate booking.

Cheers

Of course. Just post here when they are confirmed.

@JessicaTam I'm gold verging platinum if there's still space...
Looking to fly out on Friday from Sydney so can guest someone into the flounge depending on flight times.
Likely stating at voco as well

There is still space. I am thinking of putting a cap on numbers at say 30, but still a few to go before then.

I'm interested and unsure of the platinum gold etc - the menu link is broken, so that might be it...

I'm probably out. Hand surgery. Fortunately full refund on everything, incl my little Cook Island adventure.

Might be able to nip across at the last minute if the surgery recovery goes well.

Sorry to hear - hope you recover well and are back on your feet soon!

Thanks. There’s also another ‘procedure’ in the works, so I’m just clearing the decks completely for my first proper trip away, to the Arctic (Svalbard) in May.

Staying at the Pullman

 

[RooFlyer]

I've rebooked under the international sale, just there and back. Still may need to cancel, depending on surgery 2 weeks prior.
