The 2023 North Harbour Club AIMES Awards Gala Dinner was held at the Bruce Mason Centre on Saturday 10 June. The AIMES Supreme Award winner was world class sprinter Zoe Hobbs. The gala dinner is an annual highlight on the North Shore social calendar and features the awards, performances from past and present award winners (this year including 2011 AIMES Music Award winner Moses MacKay), and a silent auction. The event was MC’d by Milford local and tv celebrity Hillary Barry, who also put forward one of her infamous lockdown tiaras to be auctioned to raise funds for the AIMES Awards. The successful bidder was generous Takapuna local Chris Reeve who modelled his new piece of jewellery on stage. See our feature detailing all the 2023 AIMES Award winners in this issue.
