The Kiwi Club of New York Inc.

We’ll be having the usual mix of great Kiwi-style barbecued food, games for the kids like three-legged races, egg and spoon, and so on, the hotly contested gumboot throwing competition, and of course the tug-of-war between the North and South Islands for the Ramfurry Shield and Plunk-It shield. Everyone is welcome, of all ages: families, this is your chance to show your kids what a real New Zealand barbecue is like!

Luxury coach will be leaving Manhattan at 10am from 49th and 3rd and will return to the city approximately 6pm.  If you are driving please check back to obtain the required permit and directions to Pound Ridge.

Sponsors

Here are the sponsors of the Kiwi Club Picnic this year:

• the New Zealand Lamb Co-operative
• Anything For You: www.anythingforyou.co.nz New Zealand gifts, shipping worldwide! Or order a present for the family at home in NZ. A family-run company.
• Silver Fern Specialties – supplying pavlovas for dessert

What to bring:

Please bring your own drinks. Alcohol is allowed at the site, but we can’t sell it to you. And bring soft drinks/water too, it may be a hot day! Bring sunscreen and a hat: don’t forget to slip, slop, slap!  The site has picnic tables, but you may want to bring some kind of shade and perhaps lawn chairs and a blanket. And just in case, something waterproof: fingers crossed we won’t need it.

We’d like your help though, making the picnic a success again this year. We are looking for:

• Donations of food, or help getting big discounts on these. In the past we’ve been able to supply NZ lamb, NZ venison, NZ mussels, NZ apples, NZ kiwifruit, NZ candy/lollies/sweeties and other goodies through the donations and help of our members. All donations gratefully acknowledged in our promotion of the picnic and on the day!
• Prizes for our raffle. If you’ve got a business you’d like to promote to Kiwis, why not donate a prize for the raffle? We’ve had some fantastic prizes in past years. And you’ll get a great plug from us to all the Kiwis present.
• NZ sweets/candy and lollies! We have prizes for the kids’ games, and the adults seem to enjoy them too — and they’re grateful that their kids can learn what real chocolate tastes like! And what would a party be without a lolly scramble? We’re looking for anyone who’s going back to NZ between now and the picnic to bring back those special NZ branded goods like Moro bars, Pinkies, Peanut Slabs, Mackintoshes Toffees, Milk Shakes, Minties, and so on! Get in touch if you can do this and we’ll give you some more details of what we need. We’ve started stockpiling this stuff at a secret location already.
• On the day we’ll be looking for helpers to turn the sausages, help organize the kids’ games and one or two other things. Drop us a note if you’d like to help here.

Please get in touch with social@kiwiclubny.org if you can help us with any of these things
