Tel: +61-2-93275164 May 2006On 30 May 2006, the Chamber hosted a networking function for members and sponsors at the Arthouse Hotel in Sydney. Attending his first ever Chamber function was Mr Glen Lindholm, Finland's ambassador to Australia. Mr Lindholm travelled up from Canberra, and was joined by a number of embassy and consular staff. The function was well attended with approximately 40 guests representing the diverse range of businesses and individuals with an interest in furthering business and cultural ties between Australia and Finland. It was a unique opportunity to mix with other members, sponsors and government representatives in an informal setting. Many guests congratulated the Chamber for arranging networking drinks after a long absence from the Chamber calendar. The Chamber is grateful for the support and hospitality provided by the Arthouse Hotel, who provided welcome drinks and cooked up some delicious snacks. There was discussion about whether the meatballs were Lapin reindeer rather than beef, but it didn't really matter - they were well received and quickly eaten. It is hoped that the Chamber can return to the Arthouse Hotel very soon after the 'Summer' holidays and that the Attic Bar will become a regular watering hole for the Finland Australia business community.
