Any idea what goes on in these things? I've been here over a month so I imagine I wouldn't need to attend considering I've a job/place to live.

I have no idea what goes on but if you are vaguely interested, why don't you 'flick' the organisers an email to find out more.

Hi,

I have been there once and yes, if you are really new to Wellington it is nice to attend, but if you know a bit your way around it is maybe less useful.

Cheers,
Anita
