like more copies for your society or perhaps someone in your society
may want their own copy we have a few left, so get in quick. I
would like to apologise to some of our corporate members. For some
reason the listing under corporate members the last part of it was
chopped off I have no idea how it happened, just one of those
things between proofing and printing so to those corporates who
were not listed, please accept our apologies. If we need to do
another run of books, it will be corrected.
We still have some commemorative glasses and coasters left to sell so please contact me if you need further information on those all the John Herber/NZ Fire Shield mugs have gone and thank you so much to Graeme and Diane and the John Herber team for their generous sponsorship of these. And to Smashing Gifts too for their assistance with the glasses and coasters by providing us with a huge discount
Presentations
A
number of you have been asking, so I will endeavor to email around
our keynote speakers and presenters for copies of their respective
presentations over the next week or so. With their permission I
will put these onto the MTNZ website conference page so you can
access them. I will also put the judges comments about the
programme and website competition on there as well. I will update
you further on this in early April in Spotlight. Also I will not
publish the merit award list until May which gives you time to
present to the recipients before the list is public, although of
course, this year its in the history book.
Feedback we do appreciate your feedback, so please send it on through either via email or fill in the form Conference Feedback Form. The forum and seminar topics have come from feedback from you so we are always looking for new ideas and anything you would like covered. There were forms in your conference packs or you just email your thoughts too. We are really interested in hearing things like seminar and forum choices for the future, formats of the Friday night and AGM those types of things.
Conference 2011 Dates 18 20 March, in Nelson. We are at the Grand Mercure Nelson Monaco http://www.monacoresort.co.nz/ - its just amazing a wonderful venue and our Saturday night function will be at the WOW Museum a great combo of classic cars and classic wearable arts (in fact there are costumes in there that Paul Jenden whom Katrina Chandra introduced in the afternoon of the AGM, has won with) http://www.wowcars.co.nz/index.html It is an amazing venue. There is also a fantastic spot across the road, a real English pub (Ross and I know this because we went there J) The Honest Lawyer, which has great pub food and atmosphere and we can also use their function rooms for breakout and alternative accommodation http://www.honestlawyer.co.nz/ And the best part, everything is within five minutes including the airport so a great spot and Nelson of course is NZs sunniest spot (yes I can hear the BOP possums disputing it now). So start saving your pennies, Air NZ will open up their on line bookings for March 2011 next month, so no excuse. It will be a fantastic conference for sure.
