Matariki Dinner

After much consideration we have decided not to hold the Matariki Dinner to celebrate the Matariki Festival this year. A number of factors have contributed to this decision.

Our support of the Matariki Festival will continue, with plans already in place with partnering organizations such as NZ Post and possibly Te Papa to celebrate the new season.

We'll keep you posted as details are confirmed.
