General Information
Executive Meeting: The Executive is made up of one delegate from each branch and the Club Management Committee. Where a branch wishes to send an additional observer to the Executive Meeting, every attempt will be made to seat them with the Branch delegate at tables but cannot be guaranteed. Please make it clear if you are a “Branch Observer” on your registration form. General Members may attend to observe this meeting and will be seated where possible. On Saturday afternoon the Executive Meeting will continue when the Annual General Meeting concludes.
Arrivals and Departures: On the registration form you will be asked to state whether or not you wish to make use of the offer of transport to and from Auckland Airport. Please make sure you fill this in so the branch can meet your needs. All flight bookings should be arranged and the AGM organisers advised of times as soon as possible.
