From: Lee Jennings <lee...@paradise.net.nz>
The venue of the NZART Wine Country Conference has changed.
The organizing committee have unanimously agreed to move the venue for
the 2009 Conference from the Hastings Racecourse to the *Hawkes Bay
Opera House in Hastings*.
It is most unusual to have taken this step but the reasons for doing so
were compelling.
How does this affect those who have registered for the conference?
* The programme and forums will remain exactly the same.
* The Friday night venue at the Angus Inn remains the same.
* Better parking facilities close by.
* Better facilities for the various forums.
* A superb theatre for the NZART AGM
* Better areas for trade displays.
* Excellence in catering
* All facilities are under one roof.
* The "Car Boot" sale is still very close by
* No change in your registration cost
The Hawkes Bay Opera House complex is one of the finest opera houses in
New Zealand and has recently had over 10 million dollars spent on
upgrading. We know that you will be delighted with our choice of venue.
You can see this famous icon building online at
www.hawkesbayoperahouse.co.nz/ <http://www.hawkesbayoperahouse.co.nz/>
Further information and an updated programme will be on our website,
Infoline and the various reflectors in a few days.
We are looking forward to having you join us for what is shaping up to
be a great weekend of amateur radio.
