NZ Juggling Convention 2011 (Update 29/7/10)
A few days ago we received word that the bid for Rotorua
to host the 2011 NZJC is unable to proceed any further.
Over the past 5 months the Rotorua team have put in many hours of hard
work looking at many different venue options with a view to utilising
2 or 3 different venues to meet the particular needs of jugglers. Unfortunately
it appears there are no viable options that fit our space requirements,
budget constraints and available time frame so the Rotorua team (led
by Annette) have decided to defer their bid for the time being.
Mark McKellow says "Annette, Garth and Myself will continue working
on a bid for Rotorua, but will present it at next years festival with
the intention of holding it in Rotorua in 2012. In the meantime, We
offer our full support to the team organising next years festival".
So - it's back to Levin again. We're frantically trying
to lock in a date (venue and date are the 2 most difficult parts of
organising the event) and will email everyone a newsletter once we're
sorted. We're also going to need to vote on a new comittee and need
your participation in the vote so we can formalise the committee to
meet the legal requirements of the
Please be patient - we're moving as quickly as we
can but we're a bit behind schedule. We would very much appreciate any
offers of help and we especially need volunteers to help run things
on the weekend.
Desperately Needed!
Are there any accountants that can help us out? If we can't get some accounting help soon we're going to have to pay commercial rates for an accountant - which is going to put a huge dent in our meagre funds.
EJC - Live!
The biggest juggling convention on the planet is currently underway in Finland.
