I will plug a separate event... I am staying in Auckland one more day to attend a friend and her mum's Shave for Charity event, raising funds for two charities they are involved with and put lots of time and effort into. If you feel so inclined, it would be great if could donate here to help raise funds for The Aunties and Sweet Louise.

NickMack:

toejam316: Anyone familiar with the area, how's parking going to be for those of us coming from outta town?
I'm thinking I'll be driving myself to and fro at this stage.

I land about 2pm, then I'll find a bar and Uber from the Viaduct area :-)

Any particular favorites? probably looking to get into town with L around 2.30

Thanks to our BDFL @freitasm, @JasonParis and the team at Vodafone, and to all attendees, for another excellent gathering. A few members are managing to make it to multiple events around the country. Great to see you all!

People often mistake me for an adult because of my age.

Keep calm, and carry on posting.

Top job Vodafone, great gathering and after many hours the pizza and drinks hadn't run out, first time ever the supplies lasted the length of the function! We'll be back 😁 Thanks.

Made it back home and everything!
Cheers for the good night guys, my sister has already laid claim to the voda goodies!

Anything I say is the ramblings of an ill informed, opinionated so-and-so, and not representative of any of my past, present or future employers, and is also probably best disregarded.

Thanks to @freitasm for arranging this event. And thanks to Vodafone for hosting, the pizza, the beer and the goodie bag to take home.

I heard that one of the goodie bags had a brand new 5G phone... mine bag didn't, who got it?

They slid that in the bags for all the providers that were there with an invite to come work from vodafone i'm pretty sure ;)

Great evening, thank you to everybody!

Good to see familiar faces IRL again and also meet some new ones.

Thank you to everyone involved with putting it on!

<- don't ask me where I am - I haven't a clue: its a tech thing ;)
Housewife computerer: not particularly great at either.
And don't take me too seriously.
