40th Annual General Meeting

The 40th Anniversary NZMVC Annual General Meeting will be held in INVERCARGILL on Saturday 9th May, 2009.

After looking all around the city and at the pros and cons of everything, we have settled on the Richmond Grove hall and rooms. This is a nice, comfortable place without being over the top. It has a hall for the displays, separate room for the meeting, and an entrance way/room with nice seating for everyone to meet once they arrive. Parking goes right up to the entrance.

Easy to locate in Yarrow Street, the hall is very near to the edge of town on the Dunedin side. We have the facilities booked from 8 am till 5 pm. Visitors arriving by car from the North simply take the first street on the right as you enter Invercargill (Racecourse Road), then take the first street on the left (Yarrow Street) and drive about 8 blocks to the intersection with Margaret Street. The building is prominently marked out in pale cream and blue and is privately signposted. Refer to this map to give an general indication of location

We thought people might wish to start setting up until 10am, morning tea for half an hour, then on with the business till 1 pm or so, whatever time those present agree on. Resume with the competitions at, say, 2 pm till 3 or 4 pm, then pack up by 5 pm. The Invercargill Workingmen's Club seemed to get a good response 2 years ago, so that is available from 6.30 pm for drinks and dinner.

There is nothing formal planned for the Friday night or Sunday at this stage. We would welcome any members thoughts on this aspect. It was found last time the visitors, by and large, tended to do their own thing in their personal downtime.

So make a Diary entry:
