THANKS FOR COMING!

We had around 185 registrations for this year's Xmas drinks - our largest number of registrations ever!

It was an excellent evening, huge thanks to our very generous sponsors...

Upper Echelon for the entertainment - photo booth and casino tables

Salesforce NZ (both public and private sector) - bar tab and venue hire

Merkle Aotearoa - Grazing table & bar tab

The informal photos have been loaded and the photo booth photos will follow when available.

Apologies if you weren't aware the food platters were served mostly inside - and that dietary requirements had been catered for - I should have let people know to come inside to find these.

See you in 2023!

CHRISTMAS IS NEARLY HERE - LET'S CELEBRATE IN PERSON!

Join us, Tuesday December 6th, from 4.30 pm upstairs at Foxglove's Ballroom (function space - separate entrance, head upstairs), for our famous annual SF Welly mega Community Christmas drinks and networking. 

Registrations have been pouring in, from around Aotearoa New Zealand and from Australia even! We have a large venue, so we have the space to welcome many of our #SFWelly whānau, so we still have capacity for more to attend (but you do need to register).

Get ready to celebrate in person, another weird year for Salesforce and the Wellington community. This will be our last in-person event for 2022, come and join us as we wind down to the festive season. We are so lucky that we can celebrate together.

All are welcome - but please ensure you register to ensure the catering can cope. There will be a CASH BAR operating once the bar tab limit reached! 

We are expecting a large crowd and we have exclusive use of Foxglove's beautiful and spacious Ballroom function space to ourselves. 

You can expect plenty of good cheer, drinks and nibbles, fun and frivolity. Mix and mingle, and pose for fun photos, with our many SF Welly friends from around Aotearoa New Zealand and Australia, who are coming to celebrate with us. And it wouldn't be an SFWelly event without some swag giveaways on the night! Check out the agenda for the timings of speeches, prize draws and nibbles.

PAY IT FORWARD

Our chosen charity for this event will again be Wellington Women's Refuge as per our annual tradition, and this year, as always, they need our help and support. You are encouraged to support the refuge by bringing along a donation - this can be cash, a Christmas gift suitable for a child (or parent), or grocery items. All items will be gratefully accepted and will be passed on to the refuge as soon as possible. 

ENTERTAINMENT

This year Upper Echelon will once again be sponsoring the fun photo booth for you....as well as a casino table. Huge thanks to Carl and the Upper Echelon team for making this happen, working with the Wellington Entertainment Group.

SPONSORSHIP

We have Salesforce NZ kindly sponsoring the event, and Merkle Aotearoa are providing a grazing table (which will be available on arrival), as well as providing extra on the bar tab.

This popular annual event wouldn't happen without sponsorship, #SFWelly is hugely appreciative of the support of Salesforce NZ, Upper Echelon, and Merkle Aotearoa. Thank you so much!

MAKE SURE YOU COME BACK AND CHECK OUT THIS EVENT LISTING AFTERWARDS TO ENJOY THE PARTY PHOTOS :)
