Today we celebrate the birthday of Queen Beatrix of The Netherlands (Queen of the Netherlands, Princess of Orange-Nassau, Princess of Lippe-Biesterfeld).
We were invited by the Consul-General to attend the reception in honour of the Queens 70th birthday. The event was held in the Sydney Masonic Centre and we shook hands and congratulated the Consul-General Ms Margarita M Bot and the Consul Mr Paul Thépass and their spouse.
There where drinks, bitterballen, cheese with a little Dutch flag, rookworst and haring. There also was a raffle for 2 tickets to the Netherlands, which we didn't win. We all sang the national anthem and did 3 hurray's for the Queen!
