Conference 2010

Thoughts are with our Christchurch Members
During the last few weeks our members in the Canterbury region have suffered significant stress due to the earthquakes which are ongoing. This is a difficult time and no one can know what each person is experiencing unless they have gone through similar experiences themselves. Executive has been in touch with our members in the region and offering support where we can. One area we have been able to assist is to change the examination time for some of the candidates and this has been appreciated by not only the candidates, but their teachers as well.
Big Southern Freeze
Our thoughts are also with our members from the southern region where they have been experiencing significant storms over the last week. Some of our members are from the farming community and the losses experienced are described as the worst ever.
Judges Seminar
The Manawatu Highland & National Dancing Teachers & Judges Assn is holding a Judges Seminar on Sunday August 22nd in Palmerston North – Tutor Mrs Sherilyn Hall.
