The programme page shows the programme as of 1st August - there have been several recent updates.
We have received written versions of the papers by Phil Hendon, Susan Cambridge, Joy Kingsbury-Aitken and Sue Kendall.
Registration takes place from 5pm on Sunday afternoon in the Promenade Room - hotel staff will point you in the right direction. From 5.30pm to 6.30pm nibbles will be provided and a cash bar will operate from the Promenade Room. Dinner is own arrangements on Sunday evening. However, having a drink with other delegates will make it easy to form tables together to eat at Waipuna, if that is what you prefer.
If you're not arriving until Monday morning then the Registration Desk will open at 8am.
Hon Annette King is going to walk to the conference. She will commence her
walk from the Panmure Bridge and walk around the lagoon, arriving at the
conference venue at 8.45pm. Delegates are invited to join Annette on her walk
which will commence at 8.15am from the bridge.
Let's take a walk ...... on Broadway
Come dressed for Broadway, any star from a Broadway Show; or as a minimum come wearing a hat that depicts a Broadway Show. Not too difficult as there are so many shows and so much variety. Some show suggestion are The King and I, West Side Story, My Fair Lady, The Music Man, The Sound of Music, Fiddler on the Roof, Hair, Phantom of the Opera, Mary Poppins, Hairspray, Chicago, Mamma Mia, South Pacific, In the Heights, Grease, Les Miserables.
Dress for the evening is semi-formal.
Kitch Cuthbert will amuse and entertain delegates with "Walking the Walk - Extreme Walking" and delegates can dance to Sammy and the Trog.
Don't forget to pack your walking shoes to join delegates in an early
morning walk both days at 7.00am.
