Auckland gay club Family is going large to mark its ninth year on K’ Rd, and all are invited to join the party. The birthday celebrations kick off at 6PM and the night will be packed with entertainment, with DJ Wanda and DJ Love on the decks. Miss K will make a special appearance at the party hosted by Miss Ribena, while Wilma Balls-Drop, Buckwheat, Trinity Ice, Fonda Boyz, Miss Kola, Betty Ford, Cherry Poppins, Venus Mantrapp, Arabia Le Veil, Dee Dee Vine and Miss Pinkalicious will be the ‘welcome girls’. Manager Wilma says “it’s a time to reflect on all the hard work and long hours that go into keeping this place alive and it’s not just the work from us that do this it’s all you guys and gals as well, be it a performer, supporter, customer your all important to keep this place alive so it’s not just family bars night it’s our night.” Miss Ribena urges people to arrive early as there are usually lines, and says it will be a “fabulous” night celebrating nine years of Family keeping K’ Rd “G.A.Y.”
