What to expect!
- Take a wander through the historic Halswell Quarry. Whether you’re interested in the sister-city gardens or the panoramic views from the rim tracks, there is plenty to explore on your own schedule.
- We’ll have two BBQs firing onsite to keep the food coming! The Branch is providing a full spread of BBQ favourites and a selection of soft drinks.
- Catch up with colleagues and meet new members of the Canterbury engineering community in a casual, outdoor setting.
Good to know!
- All engineers, partners and families are warmly invited.
- Soft drinks are on us. If you’d like anything else, feel free to BYO your preferred beverages.
- We want to make sure there is plenty for everyone! Just let us know any dietary needs when you register so we can have the right food ready for you.
- Throw some sun protection and a picnic blanket or camp chairs in the car. We also recommend comfortable shoes if you’re planning on hitting the walking tracks.
