Where WOULD you go for the AGM/Reunion?

By tradition, we normally have our AGM and reunion at Taupo in November. But each year the question is asked: 'Why?'.

The possibility of holding AGMs at different locs was raised at the AGM a number of years ago where it had to be held in Palmerston North, as the normal loc in Taupo was being refurbished.

---The [NZ-wide] member distribution suggests 3 or 4 regional locations could be used over a 3 or 4 year rotation period, e.g. 2 or 3 in the Nth Island spread between Auckland, Waikato and Wellington, and one in the South Island.

---Varied locations would encourage more local attendance and ease the travel burden for those living further from Taupo.

---I strongly support holding AGMs in different locations and a 3-4 rotation period.

Skin isn't the only one to voice these thoughts. Lyall McGregor would like to see us in Queenstown, and Ron Moroney wrote:

If it comes up, I am not enamoured by Taupo and much prefer Rotorua as a venue. The RSA there is brilliant with a first class restaurant. Plenty of room for an AGM and a sec/mgr skilled in hosting reunions, which he does for St Eligius Day each year. 

---Accommodation is never a problem and the adventurous can ride the luge down the mountain at Ngongataha or visit another of the many attractions available. The airport is much better too.

---No, I don't live there but Marie Roberts will no doubt agree with me.

As things stand, the next venue will be decided by 24 Full Members voting at the AGM. If you have an opinion (keep it brief!) post it here on Muzzle Flashes. It's no use moaning after the event.
