A big welcome to this newsletter. This will be a regular
feature until the Show in 2016. It will include all the
countdown information you will need to attend this
event.
Sales and Display Booths
You need to get in quickly and reserve your space in
case you miss out on your ideal location whether it be
for display or sales purposes. These spaces will go
quickly.
Start thinking about displays now and possible themes
Guest Speakers & Out of Town Visitors
We will be looking for people who would be willing to
billet visitors and out of town speakers. Billeting
speakers is a great way to get to know them. It also
provides overseas speakers with a unique opportunity
to experience New Zealand life; which they will miss
out if they stayed in motels and hotels.
If you would consider this, please contact us at the
above email address or phone one of the Committee.
