Waitangi Events January Newsletter now online	About us The New Zealand Society, England, and the New Zealand Society, Scotland, provide opportunities for people with an interest in New Zealand who reside in the United Kingdom to meet socially. A varied calendar of events takes place each year, including a wine tasting, a Kiwi Oktoberfest and social drinks evenings. In February we hold a Waitangi Dinner and also a commemorative church service. With Air New Zealand, we award the Air New Zealand New Zealander of the Year award, for recognition of Kiwi contributions to life in the UK. We also raise funds through raffles to put back into the community - see the Charitable Giving page above. We look forward to welcoming you along to our events this year. You do not need be be a member to come to most events, however members usually receive a discount. Click on the links above for information about previous events, membership and full society contacts. We are a non profit making, voluntary society, with a committee from many different backgrounds, all of whom have a desire to put something back into our UK Kiwi community. Please let us know if you are interested in joining the committee.
