2007 - Annual Waitangi Day Dinner

The Waitangi Day Dinner was held at the Edinburgh City Council Chambers on the Royal Mile.

We were joined by the Honorary Consul for New Zealand in Scotland Eric Milligan and his wife Janice. The pre-dinner reception was held in the Dunedin Room. This room is evidence of the strong links between Scotland and New Zealand, the wonderful room, lined with our native Rimu set the mood for a lovely evening.
