We are really close now. Coming up is the final program.

Registrations are still open. Bring cash if you are paying for adhoc sessions.

The afternoon tea and lunches are catered, so if you are planning to attend you will need to register and you can pay cash at the registration desk. Although, we will also provide a bank account for you to complete a bank transfer.

The Saturday dinner is catered so you MUST REGISTER AND THEN A PAYMENT WILL SECURE YOUR SPOT. This has limited numbers and you can register through the link. Strict closing date for this is 26 March 2026 as we need to let the caterers know numbers.

We will need volunteers throughout the weekend so you can put your name to the list of tasks at the registration desk. Many hands will make light work.

Coffee cart and ice cream truck will be on site so you may want to bring cash although they normally have eftpos.

Those staying at Nga Tawa will need to bring their own breakfast food.

Happy New Year everyone.

The excitement is building. This is the year we will all meet up and reminisce. The team have worked very hard to ensure we have a variety of interesting sessions to make it worth your journey.
Sessions include a look to the past, what's happening now, looking to the future, honoring those gone before as well as hearing from those who went to the mission fields.
Make sure you register before March to secure your place and accommodation.

If you are unable to attend but would like to send a greeting you can email us at [email protected]

If you can only attend in part you are more than welcome and can pay as required. NOTE the Saturday night dinner $40 per head must be pre registered and paid due to catering confirmations.
