There is a bit of a clash on the Sunday night with the Tournament Conference and the Veterans Dinner. So as to make things easier for those having to attend both events, the Tournament Conference is now scheduled to begin at 6:30 pm on Sunday March 27th 2005. This is one hour earlier than originally intended. The venue remains the same, the NZCA Hall, 22 St Asaph Street.

Please make changes to your calendar as needed. Each branch should be sending two delegates to attend.

We will be running an informal bicycle ride on the Sunday morning for people interested in road cycling. This is not a race, so no marshalls will be present. Please note participants will require a reasonable level of fitness. The proposed route will take participants through our lovely hill suburbs and bays, Lyttelton and Sumner. The ride will take 2-3 hours depending on fitness.

It will start at 8am on Sunday March 27th 2005. Meeting place is Coffee Culture on Cashmere Road, next to the Princess Margaret Hospital.

Anyone interested, please contact Kris Yee
