Celebrating 50 years - Hutt Valley style!
The weekend of 7-9 October, 2011, saw us gather together friends, members past and present, and well-wishers to acknowledge 50 years of activities, good times, and memorable members.
The weekend's programme went like this:
| Friday 7 October |
A Cocktail Evening at Hutt Valley Irish Society (adults only) began at 7.30pm with a complimentary drink on arrival to set the scene and get the evening underway |
| Saturday 8 October |
This was a 'traditional Afternoon Tea' at Hutt Valley Irish Society, beginning at 3.00pm and featuring good, old-fashioned, home-baking and other treats. As the Rugby World Cup was in full swing, and Ireland were scheduled to play Wales in one of the Quarter-finals, we screened both Quarter Finals on the big screen at 6pm and 8.30pm, leavened with a light supper between games. |
| Sunday 9 October |
A highlight of the weekend after the disappointment of the loss to Wales by the Irish rugby team the evening before was a Family barbecue Lunch at Hutt Valley Irish Society. The afternoon also featured Judging of the children’s Irish drawing and story writing competitions. It also saw a number of members deliver 'speeches' to an attentive audience. |
