I'm in! my arm is easily twisted.

Perhaps, but your 'sprightliness' is yet to be proven! 8)

Perhaps a get-together in the hotel bar, or conference room, might mean more can attend?

To arrive in ChCh then have to find Dux de Lux and work out how to get there might be a bit much.

Whats the point in visiting a new city if you cant get lost while looking for bars! I'm sure we'd meet loads of new and interesting people. :bounce:

I don't think the people you meet in central ChCh on a Friday night are the sort of people you would normally want to meet

Lets not go to the bad side.

Ok, registration and accommodation bookings are now closed. I feel everyone has had enough time to tell us if they're coming or not.

If there's still anyone who would like to join us for a meal or two or on the bustrip, I'll give you to the 24th of May. From then on, anyone who gives a late booking may have to pay full price at Orana, the aquarium and at the restaurants. We are getting good deals for the group booking but the attractions need to be prepaid.

I am getting so excited, it's my first conference! And my room is full of fishie goodies for the raffles. I hope everyone brings enough spending money for them, there's some fantastic prizes!

Spending money?

With the family going down to chch as well?

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Yeah, they will need the spending money, not you!

Maybe I got it wrong ( I am pretty good at that (my wife says)but I thought registration closed on the 15 /5/10. ?

I think that was cut-off for cheaper registration.

It was close enough to the 15th I thought it was the 15th even. Hard to keep track of the days when you're unemployed.

Days? I thought it was April :roll:

Well, if it is today then you had better get your act together then, Jim :-?

I have already paid in full.

You were just scared I was going to break out the glaring cat, weren't you?

Actually, I would watch out for bdspider if you are going to misbehave yourself, as well

:bounce: ME :bounce: misbehave? never.

Riiiiiiight...

Who kept everyone awake at the HBAS sleepover, eh?

Ok, my mistake. Erica says registration is still ok. But we really need to know bustrip numbers 'cos if there are any latecomers, they won't get the group discounts.

:bounce: ME :bounce: misbehave? never.

heheheh :bounce: Dont disappoint me Jim

Is there room on the bus if any registered attendees have family in ChCh who might be interested in joining us for meals or the bus tour?

Atm, yes. But they need to register with us soon if they want the discounts to the attractions. If anyone decides on the day they want to come, that *should* be ok, but they'll have to pay full price.

I was still in my pjs & dressing gown when the nice courier man arrived with a 20kg box of gravelley goodies. He said I should get someone to help me with it cos it was too heavy for me :oops:

LOL, glad I am not the only one. :oops:

You got me +3 for the trip, right?

Does anyone have any dietary requirements we should make sure our caterers know about? Vegetarians, vegans, glucose intolerance, dairy allergies, whatever?
