My meeting with the NZ High Commissioner
On Monday I went to the NZ High Commission, situated in none other than NZ House to meet Derek Leask - our High Commissioner to London for a cup of coffee and a chat to fill him in on what we're doing this year. It was a good meeting as I got to hear about the good work our high commission gets up to while here in London, especially in regards to immigration. I know most of you understand that the rule changes for us coming to the UK have been sometimes frustrating - however Derek and Josh, one of his staff - have been working hard on this to make life easier for us!
I asked for some words of wisdom from them to share with you all and they responded with: "The New Zealand High Commission in London supports a responsible, safe and respectful celebration by the New Zealand community in London to honour the occasion."
I have liaised with the police as well to ensure we do act responsibly on the day and I reckon as long as we look after each other and don't be dicks, we'll ensure the day will be a good one!
Have another look at my post on meeting the police if you'd like to remember a few rules that the police want us to follow to ensure there are zero arrests and as few injuries and troubles as possible on the day! Cheers.
