I have a
meeting with the CEO of Manfeild on Thursday 3 July.Apart from the floor, which I know is a sore
point, is there anything else you’d like me to raise?
Morning Owen. Congrats on your appointment, and this Blog! I think Manfeild is a brilliant option for winter shows. From my limited experience with using Manfeild I wonder if clubs and exhibitors could have some clearer communication about some of the details - Cost for campers (there seems to be some changes since the initial shows, cost of having showers open and how clubs can manage their budget by ensuring that they only have what they need, access to the venue outside office hours and who is responsible for night time lock ups and security, responsibility for unlocking and locking power access, is there any additional costs for having the building open at night and is there planning for a dump station in a place that is used by numbers of campers, especially for longer events like Nationals. (Ardmore used a temp system for Nats but this was not permitted at Manfeild.) Thanks!
Ringfenced money untouched. Executive Council has investigated the management of the money from the sale of the former NZKC building in Prosser Street and can confirm that neither it, nor the investment income from it, has been used for any purpose except reinvestment back into the fund.
Welcome to my Blog! I hope this will be useful and effective in keeping us in touch with each other and ensuring that you can ask about anything you want to know, and learn what's going on as quickly as possible. As far as I'm concerned there are only two rules. · Let’s keep it polite · No anonymous posts please · And maybe one request; try to keep it short Don’t forget that I’m only one person on The Team though; keep in touch with your executive councillors and let them know what you’re thinking too. Often, I may deal with your posts by sending them to one of The Team for attention, or to the office. We’re all here to make the best job we can of running the organisation and helping you.
Question from Bill Murdoch 2: The Annual Report had reference to the pending court case against DogsNZ in July? What date is that down for? A: 21 - 23 July. Please note that if the result goes against us there will likely be a Non-disclosure Agreement imposed in respect of the amount of any settlement. The cost of a settlement will be borne by our insurers.

ReplyDeleteSee the separate post I'm putting up about my visit. I forgot to ask about the dump station (sorry) so I'll send an email and ask.
