The 49th Annual NZIACO conference last week was a huge success and enjoyed by all. The venue was in the beautiful art Deco town of Napier on the North Island. With the official opening by Her Worship the Mayor of Napier Barbara Arnott the seminar was then under way with some excellent and experienced speakers. The animal control officers from all over New Zealand received a feast of quality information to assist them with their very important jobs. The seminar was absolutly first class with a great venue “The Napier War Memorial Centre” over looking the beach. Gary covered a variety of subjects including evaluation and temperament testing, Dog Bite Prevention, Signs, Electric collars and more.
It wasn’t all work as I managed to sample some fine wines from the Hawks Bay region, go Bungy jumping, Ride a Jet Boat at Huka falls, Helicopter joy flights and sky dive over the beautiful Lake Taupo . I Even fitted in some Skiing on Mount Ruapehu.
Congratulations to Grant Blackley for putting together a truly great event.
My thoughts are with the families of the 9 people that tragically had their lives cut short in the sky diving accident on the south Island of New Zealand and the Christchurch victims of the earthquake, the largest in NZ since the Napier Earthquake in 1931.
