MONTHLY MINGLE:
In December our Duck Soup Networking night falls on Sunday 7 December – 7.30pm at the House of Ales (top of Trafalgar Street/bottom of Cathedral steps). We expect a full house again (over 160 unattached people on average) and lots of new faces just finding out about Duck Soup. Please don’t be shy and don’t fret about coming alone – we will meet you at the door and EVERYONE is very friendly.
GET OUT & GROOVE: (These events are more intimate in numbers attending and allow for friendships to develop in a less crowded environment whilst enjoying some type of activity.)
We are meeting for another Duck Soup Movie Night on Tuesday 9 December to see the James Bond movie “Quantum Of Solace” starring Daniel Craig. More info: http://statecinema.co.nz/movie.php?mid=2744 Buy your ticket beforehand for the 8.30pm showing. Group in the foyer 15-20 minutes before movie time and we’ll have coffee in the pizzeria or somewhere nearby afterwards.
Duck Soup Richmond Drinks is for those people living in the Tasman region! Come along to Sundial Square for Christmas Carols from 6.30pm-8.00pm and then we’ll head into The Stables on Thursday 18 December. You could also pop over to the Mall for your late night shopping. Of course you’re welcome if you live in Nelson – however, this is a great opportunity to meet a new social group in YOUR town, Richmond singles!
Our Duck Soup Beach Walk is at 6.30pm on Boxing Day Friday 26 December this month with a brisk and motivated walk on Tahunanui Beach after all that Christmas feasting. Meet at the Abel Tasman statue in the Rock Road carpark and go at your own pace – walk cancelled if raining. Please feel free to bring along your kids (if they can keep up!) and friends/family members if you have them staying with you for the holiday – or use this walk as an excuse to get away from them for a couple of hours! Two for one coffees/cocktails at 623 on the Rocks afterwards.
Every Tuesday night at 7.30pm sharp is Quiz Night at the House of Ales and we will enter a Duck Soup team when we can (never yet to victory – but there is always a chance!). If you have been in a pub quiz team before – or know lots of trivial things – call Adrienne (544-2088) to book your seat on the team for this week – cost $2! You are welcome to become a regular – or just sit in now and then when you feel like it. (NOTE: no quiz 6 Jan during JazzFest08)
Founders Jazz in the Park will be our first FAMILY Duck Soup event and we invite you to bring your kids/parents/family/grandkids etc on Saturday 3 Jan between 1pm-4pm to Founders Heritage Park in Nelson. The band Wellington Heads will be playing for a gold coin entry fee (kids free) with a spit roast on offer or bring a picnic. The brewery and cafe will also be open. Look out for the Duck Soup sign or txt Adrienne 021.480.212 if you can’t find us.
Afternoon Jazz in the Park at Washbourn Gardens in Richmond (before our Networking night in town) starts at 4pm on Sunday 4 January and features Nelson Jazz Club Big Band, Cactus Swing Band, The Velox Brothers and Brilleaux. Come along with your picnic tea (or buy something there), a chair or blanket and find the bunch of Duck Soup singles sitting together chilling out to some cool summer jazz (gold coin donation). Then head into town for more jazz at the House of Ales where we will combine our regular networking night with JazzFest08. (txt Adrienne 021.480.212 if you can’t find us!)
