We had a great time and raised over 62,000 CZK for Pink Crocodile School.

 

Exclusive Tour of the Czernin Palace

18 October 


Thanks to the generosity of Martin Klepetko, Director of the Asia Pacific Department at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and his team, we were delighted to be able to offer an exclusive chance to see the interior of the Czernin Palace, the home of the Ministry in Prague.

This is the largest of Prague's baroque palaces and has served as the offices of the Czechoslovak and later Czech foreign ministry since the 1930s. It was commissioned by the diplomat Humprecht Jan Černín z Chudenic, the Habsburg imperial ambassador to Venice and Rome, in the 1660s.  The tour will include the opportunity to see Jan Masaryk's apartment as well as historic state rooms.

The building is not normally accessible to the public, and so this was a unique chance to see some recent and not so recent history.

ANZAC Day 

23 April


Thanks to the fantastic support of Hotel Jalta we were back at VK Slavia on the banks of the Vltava river, our closest connection to the sea.

We enjoyed gourmet pies from Ash's Pie Shop, deserts and pastries from Como plus Aussie and NZ Wines and Plsner Urqell beer plus kids sporting activities and entertainment program from kid party specialists Faboo and live music from Aussie musician Mark Cichon



Thanks to all those who came along to the ceremony and Barbecue.  As well as having a great day out, you raised nearly 4,000 CZK for the New Zealand Returned Services Association Poppy Day appeal plus a good amount for CANZA from drink sales etc.  

Thank you for your support - this money really helps us a lot with our other activities throughout the year.

Special thanks also to Len, Shane and Larissa for doing all the hard work and to Hotel Jalta for their very generous sponsorship of the venue rental.


Some photos of the event are on Facebook for those that are interested.  Please feel free to add more!
