Travel:    SPECIAL NOTICE FOR CONFERENCE VISITORS

With the untimely demise of Quantas NZ, we are aware that air travel to Queenstown may be limited for the Conference period in July.  While we are hopeful that the situation will improve before then, the Otago Branch are also looking into the option of providing a shuttle bus service from Christchurch or Dunedin airport, probably into Queenstown on Sunday 22nd July, and returning on Friday 27th or Saturday 28th July, linking with air services to these airports.
If you think you might be able to make use of this service for your travel to and from Conference, please advise us on the registration form overleaf, and we will contact you with details in the next week or so.
