Friday 20 June
I got up at 5.30am to do my 5km walk around St Leonards. The reason for the early start, I was leaving for Queenstown with fellow principals Brent Caldwell, Whetu Cormack and Michelle to do a recci for the proposed 2010 NZPF Conference in this town.
Left at 8.00am after picking up Whetu (Kilgour St) and Brent & Michelle (Middleton Rd). Had morning tea at Succulence in Roxburgh. We had lunch at a cafe in Frankton.
We met Pat Johnston and her daughter at Lakes Leisure Centre the suggested site for the conference. We then had a look at the Pentecostal Church close to the Leisure Centre which was impressive.
We checked into the Millennium Hotel where we had a complimentary night's stay. We were then given a guided tour of the hotel. At 4.30pm we went up the Skyline Gondola to have look at the venues for the "History Alive" show. We had a complimentary afternoon tea.
At 5.30pm we met Emma from History Alive at the Copthorne Hotel for a run down about the show over a nice wine. Following this, we were given a guided tour of the Hotel.
We walked to Queenstown to have entree at "The Boardwalk", dinner at Dux de Lux and dessert at "Surreal". On the way home we had a drink at "The Bunker". After getting home at midnight we had a debrief for almost an hour.
Saturday 21 June
At 7am Brent and I did a 5km walk going into town, through the gardens and along the lake front back to the hotel. At 9am I had a delightful buffet breakfast. We went to the Kingsgate to have a look around and then our last meeting at the Millennium to meet a person from In 2 Food. We said goodbye to Pat and Lydia and shot downtown to have a look at the Market.
We drove back to Dunedin and when I dropped off everyone I was home just before 5pm
