Bears Go Thai!
After the success of the bowling – it’s now time to eat (nom nom nom). We are going to Star Thai - the rather fabulous gay-owned restaurant just off Ponsonby Road on Sunday, September 19 at 6pm. We have been there many times and never had a bad meal, so we thought we'd share our secret with you! Seats are limited and it’s first come, first served and you need to RSVP via the facebook event or email us back on to secure your place. Bear New Zealand will contribute some money to the final meal bill, which will most likely be a set menu (so if you have any dietary requirements, let us know in advance). More details on Star Thai Restaurant can be found here. Photos from our bowling trip coming soon! Don’t forget our next Furry Friday meeting is at Kamo on Friday, September 3. Alan, Paul, Grant, Brian |
