We have had our end of year dinner in Khandallah and in recent years Johnsonville. This year it's Tawa's turn to host the Olympic club dinner. The venue is to be the Thai Country Café on the corner of Oxford road and Main road Tawa. Excellent food in my opinion and according to reviews I have read many others agree with me. We will have a 3 course set menu with multiple dishes for the starters, and main course which from memory are served for sharing and a choice for desert. The restaurant is fully licensed but also has a BYO wine option. The cost is to be $36 per head and of course we will need to know numbers attending. Please RSVP by e-mail to Liz eliz_tomlinson@paradise.net.nz who is collecting numbers now.

For more information on the venue they have a web site http://www.thaicountrycafe.co.nz/
