In Nelson over the long weekend? You’re invited to a movie & dinner on Saturday night with other local singles on the Duck Soup events scene.

I’ve been looking forward to seeing Angels & Demons after recently renting The Da Vinci Code – however, there are other movies ending around the same time on Saturday evening if you prefer:

Invitation Only Dinners

Adrienne, Mixologist| April 7, 2009 9:14 am

I have been arranging invitation only dinners (sometimes including a movie beforehand) and they are becoming very popular as low pressure, relaxed and casual social meetings with other singles.

I’ve been inviting a ‘younger’ group and will now start an ‘older’ group. You can choose which group you wish to participate in – I’m not splitting anyone by age and would rather concentrate on attitudes!

If you would like to participate in these movie/dinner evenings with other singles, please let Adrienne know and you’ll be included on the invitation list.

Kids at Brightwater Wine & Food Festival

Adrienne, Mixologist| February 13, 2009 6:48 am

I’ve had several phone calls from people interested in coming along to the festival this weekend and asking whether it was appropriate to bring kids along.  The answer is YES!  Kids under 12 have free entry and there are kids activities available.  SO pack up the whole family with your picnic blankets & chairs and come along for some fun.  Look out for a green pergola in the audience area with the cartoon duck on a sign – or txt Adrienne on 021 480 212 if you’re lost.
