Well the club, meaning you, has joined API (Apiculture New Zealand), this means at long last we are affiliated to the National Beekeepers Organization.
For the first time ever the annual API Conference was held at the brand new Christchurch Convention Centre (called Te Pae?) We were one of the first to use the centre and it is absolutely brilliant and both a credit and asset
for Christchurch City.
Even better we volunteered to do gift packaging, front desk welcoming and various hands on duties! My heartfelt thanks to the following volunteers who gave their time over the three days:
This was a golden opportunity to promote our club and help build a bridge between the professionals and amateurs, our club name was prominent to all.
My sincere thanks and gratitude to the following volunteers: though I don’t know about the bottom name!
