Recap: UK Chapter's Annual Christmas Celebration Thursday, 28 April 2016

The UK Chapter’s annual Christmas celebration was hosted last year by IPENZ-UK in The Penthouse atop New Zealand House and adjacent Piccadilly Circus.

Held on “Black” Friday 27th November it seemed an all too obvious reference to the “All-Blacks” recent rugby world cup victory but our hosts were most gracious indeed (particularly after a gentle reminder of the cricket world cup result!). A great night of networking amongst fellow Australian, New Zealand and other expat engineers was ensued, where a fantastic buffet was also provided along with some of the finest New Zealand wines and beers.

The venue provided a marvellous setting with breath-taking 360-degree scenic views from the external roof terrace, taking in such sites as the London Eye, the West End and the City skyline. Plenty of selfies were taken (by others).

We look forward to returning the favour at Australia House for the Christmas Soiree 2016.
