Hi all,

does anyone out there have any terrific ideas for my mini field, to be held on 16 March in Launceston City Park at the Breast Cancer Rose Garden as part of "The Ongoing Journey" Tasmanian Breast Cancer Conference?

I have the city choir, Vox Harmony who will serenade us with 3 songs and am wondering about the guest speakers; religious or non; memorial type words or not;??

Help!

    Hi Kathy

    firstly, no we are not changing for the informal mystery party. The idea is to walk from the Hotel Grand Chancellor to the park, have the mini field with choir, then those who are attending, get onto the waiting buses to take us to the mysery (in town) venue. Busues will be prepared to shuttle people back to the hotel from 8.30pm. There will be a few free drinks, ample finger food and musical enteratinment, we are hoping for a great evening!

    The programme is on BCNA but it is a draft which gets moved and altered a bit- here is the latest for you.: Day 1– Saturday 16 March 2013

    9.30am  Registrations open – morning tea available

    10.00am “Flowing story” from our women leading on to Welcome by TBCN President- and housekeeping

    Hi Kathy,

    i hope you ahve received the conference email advising you about the offer of having twin shared accommodation at the venue as well as petrol costs re-imbursed. (@20c per km). Riverside Lions Club are wonderful in supporting this aspect. Take care, Mandy

    Do we need to put our name down for the Cocktail party? I would like to go . I am coming up to conference on Sat morning from Hobart and staying the night with relatives . Wondered about changing from day clothes as well? Great to see the agenda I am looking forward to the weekend. See you on the day.

    Hi,

    as you haven't put your name down I can't check the list so can you email me direct at forteath@dodo.com.au with those? I will put you on the cocktail party list- if you are registered you should have receievd two emails over the past few weeks (one of them yesterday) explaining the rose garden ceremony and the party.. I hope there isn't a glitch! (It is a free event registration site so I can't guarantee it is 100% efficient.) We close off taking names for the party on Monday so the caterers have a final number.

    We are wearing comfortable clothes for the conference and NOT changing for the casual evening at the mystery venue. Buses will take us from City PArk to the venue and then start returning people from 8.30pm to the Hotel Grand Chancellor (conference venue). 

    DO email me and I will check you are on the list, and if not, I can put you on it, take care, Mandy
