On Saturday, we have a full day trip to Akaroa, the nearby French settlement. We have booked the Black Cat catamaran for a trip round the harbour to see the Hector’s dolphins, penguins and other seabirds, for a special reduced price, but only for 50, so book early (This will be additional to the general registration price).

For the rest we have a special secret stunning destination, which has to be seen to be believed, as well as time to look around Akaroa itself. We will have some models on site, with a French theme We return in time for a quick change, a social hour and then Dine and Dance in the Pier View restaurant, with the presentations of awards, and viewing of the salon.

Sunday morning, come down to the beach for some sunrise shots (sun rises at 6.49 a.m) and breakfast at the local Connect Café, before our guest speakers, Andrew and Grant give their presentations, and some time will be available to pop over to the beach to see our Sand Dancer presenting a special Sand Art picture for our convention. The convention will conclude with lunch. Bon Voyage.
