An excellent programme of Social Functions had been put together for the conference that promised delegates a tantalizing taste of some of the great locations, cuisine and performance art of Christchurch and New Zealand.

The Welcome Reception took place at the Transitional Cathedral, a new built cathedral building. The Transitional Cathedral was built after the original Christchurch Cathedral was badly damaged in the earthquake. The rest of the old cathedral is still standing showing what large damages happened to many buildings. The room was packed, the talk was loud and both reunions took place and new acquaintances were formed.

The Kiwi Evening which is also a dinner in support of FIG Foundation and supported by Trimble included a traditional Maori performance. At this performance especially the male participants had the possibility to find their inner male soul by shouting out loudly and practise their dancing skills. The relaxed atmosphere – apart from the shouting – gave a good opportunity to mingle and meet.
Date: Wednesday, 4 May 2016
Time: TBA
Venue: To be decided by each Commission
Fee: Individual paymen
The commission dinners were traditionally held on the second conference day. Right before the dinner the commission meetings were scheduled, so that it would be possible to go directly from the more serious meeting to a nice get-together dinner in relaxed surroundings. Some commissions joint forces and invited to a joint dinner whereas other commissions organised their own dinners.

The Gala Dinner was held at the Air Force Museum of New Zealand. The exhibition area was open and the dinner was held in the hangar and the dinner tables were surrounded by all the airplanes. It was a very special experience to sit among the old air planes enjoying a wonderful dinner. A trio entertained with an enormous repertoire, and the dance floor was filled up to the very end.
