Annual NZ Dinner: WLG 7 March 2026

[JessicaTam]

Would you like to join us for dinner?

Saturday 7 March in Wellington, NZ.

The location is yet to be determined, but will be convenient to the CBD.

Dress code is smart casual.

 

[JessicaTam]

Dinner will be at 7pm at Noble Rot. It will be a set menu with a choice of entree, main and dessert for $99 (at time of writing).

Here is the current menu (option A) with the menu for early March due in late January. At that time I will call for dietary considerations, so I can pass them on.

(Gold)

Will be interested in attending this. Will consult diary.
Le Jardin restaurant at Sofitel Wellington is not bad. We went there regularly when we lived there. They take the accorplus card as well.

 

[CMA222]

Like this year (2025) I will, at this stage, plan to be there in 2026. However, given Qantas cannot be relied on to honour my booking (bundle of rights) when I plan to travel, I will eventually book everything with my fingers crossed that they will not be cancelled 7 months after making the flight booking. I am still arguing with them about the non-refundable cost of unused accommodation resulting from the cancellation of my flight this year.

 

[Doug_Westcott]

I’ll say Platinum at this stage, subject to any unforeseen circumstances.

 

[blackcat20]

Unknown at this point but will keep an eye on things.

 

[Ade]

Watching with intent to join. Gold ATM please.

 

[Kiwi_Flyer]

Interested but far too early to know if I'll be in town.

So that would be 'copper'?

So that would be 'copper'?

Isn't that where you say you aren't coming then turn up at the end of the night?

 

[gwilli1]

[DejaBrew]

Platinum as it stands and following with interest

 

[Katie]

Maybe for me and Mr Katie.
Though I have a great-great-nephew in WLG, which makes me feel very old, so I may refuse to acknowledge my age!
