[QUOTE="Maggie, post: 4482, member: 71"] Yes I have. Queenstown conference, I think 2000 and would have to be the best conference I ever attended! The photo of the mirkin was passed around the dinner tables, much hilarity. The dinner was fantastic up at the gondola. Great food, absolutely fantastic band. John, I think I might have sat at the same table as you with Richard Bensemann. Richard took me ice skating at Queenstown. He had to hold onto my hand cos I was so scared of falling over. I also remember adjourning to the Casino after the dinner event. An absolutely memorable conference in terms of fun & what was discussed & topics available. The AGM in those days was what the conference was about. There was a phenomenal attendance. The next year at Auckland (even though I didn't like the conference) there were hundreds attending the AGM. At both conversation amicable and and analytical. I remember at the Auckland conference, food & safety & compliance and how it was against the NZ way of life! There was one conference, and I can't remember whether it was the Queenstown or the Auckland conference and there was a teams' debate one night on I think bee genetics. It was hilarious. In opposing teams it included David Yanke & Russell Berry (who was listed as the biggest beekeeper in NZ - haha) I have to be honest the one conference (and before my time) that beekeepers said was the best ever, was the one in Rarotonga! Sounds fab. [/QUOTE]
