Registrations for the forthcoming conference are building up well with currently 113 registrations in before the end of February.
At a recent meeting it was suggested that as many Canterbury Branch members have previously visited the the properties on the field visit programme, it would be a good idea to offer ‘speaker only’ options. Download the information here. Please read carefully, and if you wish to attend fill in the form on the other side of this page and return to the NZTCA Conference Office.
Attendance is by ticket only – no door sales as numbers are required for meals and morning teas.
If you wish to invite friends to the speaker programme they are most welcome.

We will be doing a winter clean up at the Lincoln trial block this Sunday – 10.30am. It is basically pruning work. It would be great to have a good team of workers there. Please bring pruning equipment: saws, pole pruners, loppers. See the map of how to get there on the Events web page.
If the weather is very bad, check this page for up-dates.

New on the NZWIG Website is a section providing the background and updates on the cultivar importation project. We intend to keep the pages up to date with progress through the years so that growers can take an interest in how the selections are doing.
