get_togetherAs aforementioned, there's been a venue change this year. The new one looks lovely though, and I'm sure will be a great success. You may even love it so much you want to stay there in future! It's a short bus ride from Kilbirnie, so while Brentwoodians will no longer be right next door, you're still at the best available accommodation, and will have no difficulties finding your way. Friday Night Fangirls will also be aware that we've outgrown our old staple Olive, and now have dessert/drinks at Fidel's. Out-of-towners may remember that as the scene of many an exhausted Monday brunch.
The main venue itself:
Saint Christopher's Hall, Seatoun
Corner of Ventnor and Forres Streets
There's a beautiful old church to the right, sadly yellow stickered, and a hall to the left. You want the hall! There's a fair amount of parking in the street outside for drivers.
From Kilbirnie, for Brentwoodians, the bus you want is the Number 11 (Seatoun). Get on at the stop outside Kilbirnie Sports on Rongotai Road (which you should be familiar with; it's the main intersection with Bay Road, but see the second map if you need a refresher) and get out at the cafe/shops on Dundas Street. Ventnor Street is just round the corner, see map below. For anyone coming from town the important thing to remember is that the 11 does not pass through Courtenay Place, and you need to get on in Taranaki Street.

The Oaks is 71-81 Cuba Mall, left hand side and upstairs -- look out for a grotty staircase and a sign. Fidel's is 243, and requires you to venture through the mall and on up to Cuba St proper. It's pretty near the top, on the right hand side. The Matterhorn, if you're coming for a drink, is at 106.
