Rainbow Wellington
Friday drinks
Because of falling
numbers we are not able to justify continuing our Friday drinks twice a month,
at least for a while. Most of the bars we use are going through hard times in
the recession and need our support. But if only a handful turn up, we cannot
really expect them to lay on anything special for us, as they have in the past.
So let's make an effort to support these events, which will normally be on the
first Friday of the month until further notice.
Rainbow Wellington Drinks: 3
September, The Library Bar
Our second visit to this exotic bar – the only venue we have ever shared
with a bath-tub I think! We have also asked for the same barman to be rostered
on!

The Lounge Bar is a new bar situated in what was once part of Chow
Restaurant on Tory Street. It can be entered through Chow but more
conveniently from Courtenay Place south side a few metres from the junction
with Tory Street going towards Kent Terrace. There's a doorway and some
stairs marked by a small sign. Go up the stairs and through a plainly
marked door on the first floor and you are there.

RAINBOW WELLINGTON DRINKS:
1st October, Wellesley Boutique Hotel
Our second
Friday drinks in this delightful venue, which of course we also used for our
meeting with the US Ambassador. This time we will be downstairs again. Look around
for us, as they say it could be quite full. They are planning to open up the
bar into the restaurant area to make more room for us, so please do turn up in
force again!

RW CHRISTMAS DINNER
Restaurants get very busy just before Xmas, so we have
already booked our Xmas dinner.
This will be at the Cheeky Pipi, 163 The Parade, Island Bay, on Friday 10th
December, starting at 7 pm.
More details will follow nearer the date, but put this date in your diary for
the time-being. As usual, we will be asking for bookings in advance for this
function.
