This is an excellent opportunity to catch up with old friends as well as network with those we may only meet once a year. Drinks and Nibbles will be served, and our President, Eric Baggen, will welcome everyone before we head off to the Quiz Night. Proudly sponsored by: The BRENNTAG Quiz Night – 7pm The Brenntag Quiz night has fast become a must do event and is extremely entertaining, fun and ever so slightly competitive! There may even be people forming their teams already, but as there is no way for anyone to prepare for the questions, everyone has a chance to win! Brenntag started this back in 2013, and the event just keeps getting better. The Quiz starts at 7pm and will run for around 2 hours. Food is provided to keep the brain cells working and there will be a cash bar available. Location will be advised when confirmed. Special thanks to Brenntag for sponsoring, organising and running this fantastic event! THURSDAY 16 MAY Convention Dinner – 6.00pm After a full day's sessions, everyone looks forward to the relaxing and tasty Convention Dinner. This year we are going to stay at the Trinity Hotel to make it easier to pop back to your room after the sessions and prepare for the themed event. Thank you to our sponsors for the dinner: Entertainment will of course be available after dinner. We have a fantastic band who will be providing excellent live music to dance the night away. Special thanks to our sponsors for the entertainment: THEME - "GREEN, GOLD & RUBY RED" Get ready to unleash your creativity and paint the town with the vibrant palette of the kiwifruit!
