2010 New Zealand Men's Knitting RetreatAttention all you creative and crafty Men who knit. It’s time for New Zealand to get in on all the Men’s Knitting Retreat fun and you’re invited to attend the inaugural…2010 AOTEAROA – New Zealand Men’s Knitting Retreat Registration is now open!Fancy a bit of fibre fun in the Wellington region at the tail end of the Southern Summer?!? I’ve got a great line up of events planned for you including a trip to Experience Stansborough, a working sheep farm, a local yarn manufacturer, and Craft 2.0 a modern craft event. You’ll also get to take part in workshops led by Men, a knitting themed quiz night, go on a yarn crawl and still have plenty of time to just and sit and knit in the company of other Men. Our venue is the Silverstream Retreat Complex nestled in the Hutt Valley which is only a short drive along the Hutt Motorway from Wellington City. More specifically we’ll be staying in the Stonewall Lodge (I don’t expect there to be a riot but we should be able to manage some riotous fun!). The complex was originally built for the United States Armed Forces stationed in New Zealand during the 1940’s and 1950’s. It is a substantial complex which is currently being renovated but the great news for us is that the Stonewall Lodge renovation is already complete and features comfortable share twin accommodation which overlooks the beautiful Hutt River and Manor Park Golf Course. Dates: Thursday, March 4, 2010 - Sunday March 7, 2010 How much will this cost I hear you say… well here is the fee price breakdown per person $250.00 – Share twin accommodation and meals from Thurs afternoon to Sunday morning That equates to approx US$ 220.00 or AUS$ 270.00 on current exchange rates. (21/Oct/09) Check-In Time will be from 3pm on the Thursday and Check Out will be lunch time on Sunday. To confirm your place at the Retreat I need to receive your payment in full by February 6th. I will be required to pay a sizeable deposit to the venue within the next month so don’t hesitate to register and pay ASAP. If you have paid but have to cancel you can get a full refund provided you notify me of your cancellation by February 6th 2010. After that date the accommodation and meal costs are non-refundable but I will be able to refund you the balance of the fee which will be $70. If you need any more information about the Retreat or have any questions just reply to this thread or you’re welcome to contact me directly through Ravelry and by e-mail jamesherbison(at)gmail(dot)com I’m excited already and I hope you will be too! Testosterone and yarn are a great match. |
