DISTRICT CONFERENCE 2016
TIME TO START THINKING ABOUT ATTENDING THE 2016 DISTRICT CONFERENCE IN CANBERRA 11-12 MARCH
Crows Nest has a big responsibility for the success of next year's District Conference so we need to be there in force!
The Conference Committee is led by our member Angelo Raveane, and of course another of our members, Harold Sharp is playing a great role with sponsorship, speakers, and being the partner of our District Governor Gina Growden. Les Walsh is the registrar too!
We encourage you to register individually and to arrange your own accommodation but we will be arranging a bulk club registration if you prefer.
So, register now and be eligible for Early Bird pricing - and the Early Bird Prize of a case of Tyrrell's wine.
Full conditions are available here
THE THEME IS 'GAME ON'
2016 being an Olympic year, our Conference theme is a sporting one.
This will be most evident at Saturday night’s dinner and dance at the world-famous Australian Institute of Sport where delegates will dress as their favourite sporting identity, or in their team colours. To get the idea, view this video.
AIS’s interactive facility will allow delegates to test their skills kicking goals, serving aces, slam dunking, or swinging the golf club.
So it’s Game On!

Come play in Canberra on 11 & 12 March 2016.
