HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Hopefully you will all have had some quality time over the holidays and are looking forward to the year ahead. The Exec Team will have their first meeting of the year next month and we will give you some updates after that. Plans for "Going for Gold" - our National Training Conference in Queenstown - are well in hand and we have a great line-up of speakers for you. We suggest you start planning ahead now (and think of a good reason why your boss should let you come!)

We have negotiated a great deal with the Copthorne - our venue. You can book a standard room for just $125.00 per night! But that's not all! The rate includes breakfast for two - that's cheaper than a backpackers! But wait... there's more! They have also agreed to give delegates that rate for as many nights as they want to stay, so why not plan to take some extra days and explore beautiful Queenstown?

The Feddie Awards are back this year and nomination forms will be sent out with the Registration packs. Get your thinking caps on and if you believe you have people worthy of an award working in your Centre NOMINATE THEM!

Lastly, you will notice a new 'gadget' at the bottom of the side bar. You can put in your email address and have updates to this Blog emailed to you. No more excuses for missing something!

Be well, be happy!
