The Jubilee conference starts at 3.00pm on Thursday
23rd April when the 50th New Zealand Sign and Display
Association (Incorporated) Annual General Meeting
takes place at the Distinction Hotel located at 390
Fenton Street, Glenholme, Rotorua. No longer a one or
two day affair but nevertheless an important part of
the annual calendar where members have a forum in
which to express their views and initiate discussion and
change. If you have a view on how or where the association should be going, this is the time
to present that view.
Later that evening we will be holding our traditional Meet ‘n’
Greet at the “Redwoods” forest. Just minutes from the Hotel,
and providing cyclone Bola doesn't decide to return to the Bay
of Plenty on this night, we think you will find this is a
completely unique location for this years Meet ‘n’ Greet
function.
Friday morning sees you all up bright and early to take part in a special event in the same
room as the Presidents breakfast. Can’t tell you what the special event is otherwise it
wouldn’t be special now would it? One thing I can tell you is that you will enjoy it. Don't be
late, because it is before breakfast, and we wouldn't want you to go hungry!
After the official welcome by our President, Nick Baty, we will be hearing
from internationally acclaimed speaker and author Ngahi Bidois. Ngahi has
made presentations in New York, London, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Hawaii
and many Australian cities. Voted New Zealand National Speaker of the Year
in 2011, Ngahi’s unique presentation is not to be missed.
After our keynote speaker we travel to one of
Rotorua’s premium attractions, Off Road NZ.
Make sure you dress sensibly for the day which
will kick off with a great BBQ lunch then we
start the thrill seeking. Hang on to your hats this is fun, believe me. If you don't feel this is
your thing you can just have your lunch and
relax by the cash bar and get quietly brain
impaired!
Before you know it we will be on our way back to the Hotel to
get ready for the Tamaki Maori Cultural experience. I had the
pleasure of having a sneak preview of this most awarded NZ
cultural Tourism Attraction event, which I think you will just love.
It culminates in a hangi feast which is second to none.
After a good night’s sleep it’s breakfast time
again, and the golfers will be first cab off the
rank and heading across the road at the
Arikikapakapa Golf Course, with the Les
Berridge Trophy up for grabs again.
Then the pool players will get the annual pool tournament at the
Rotorua Citizens Club under way, and about the same time the
Duck tour will kick off for those who are not the sporty type and
would prefer the spectacular sights of Rotorua both on the
water and on land. The WW2 amphibious craft is a little beauty.
After lunch all the groups will meet at the
Skyline for a scrumptious buffet lunch and some
more thrill seeking, or for the more laidback
types a wine tasting will be a great alternative.
About 4 pm if you haven’t perished on a luge, or
fallen off a high wire, we will all meet at the
bottom of the Gondola which is compulsory
because it's the only way up or down unless you are into rock climbing. Believe me the view
is bigger than Ben Hur.
Back to the hotel for a quick shower and put on your best clobber for the marquee event of
the year. The New Zealand Sign and Display Awards! This kicks off with a pre-dinner drinks
at 6 pm with the awards kicking off at 6.45.pm. This is a chance to see our industry genius's
get the rewards they deserve.
We have the closing breakfast not too early the next morning (to accommodate the worst
hangover) but more importantly time to say your farewells to people you may not see till
next year in Christchurch.
As this is our 50th Jubilee we would love to see all of our members helping us to celebrate
this milestone with some of our foundation members. Please make the effort you wont
regret it!
