Bootcamp is now virtual
|
As a result of the latest COVID-19 outbreak, the in-person Bootcamp and Fellowship dinner scheduled for mid-September is postponed.
|
- A virtual Bootcamp on Saturday 18 September this year.
- A webinar series discussing the important topics that would have been discussed during the Sunday panel sessions. These will be one per month for the next few months.
- An in-person Bootcamp and Fellowship dinner on 17 and 18 September 2022, at the Rydges hotel in Christchurch.
|
We can refund all monies paid to us (please contact Rydges if you have booked accommodation there), or transfer some for a ticket to the virtual Bootcamp and refund the remainder. Please email admin@rnzcuc.org.nz to let us know what you would like us to do.
|
There is a significant amount of background administration for this, so please be patient as we process the refunds.
