PRE ENROLMENT
As numbers will be limited we are offering Toy Libraries the opportunity to pre-book spaces for you to attend.  There will be no requirement at this stage for you to advise who will be attending and what workshops they will be doing but you can secure your place at Conference.
The cost to attend the Training Weekend next year will be $280.00 per delegate. For pre registration we are asking for a $50.00 deposit for each delegate you wish to attend, which will guarantee you that space. Pre-enrolments close Friday 26^th February or sooner if registrations are full. 

ACCOMMODATION – LINCOLN UNIVERSITY
Accommodation is all single rooms with shared bathroom one per four delegates. There may be a possibility of some flats if there were couples attending, please ask at time of preregistration

All bedding and towels are provided.

TOY EXPO
We have a great indoor, gymnasium for Toy Expo venue this year.  There will be plenty of opportunities for toy shopping so remember to get fundraising so that you can do some spending while you are with us.

National Volunteer Training Weekend Update #1
November 18 2009

We are only 7 months away from the 2010 National Volunteer Training Weekend, plans are well underway! We would welcome your input and your help, if you would like to be involved in any way contact our office manager. Email office@toylibrary.co.nz   

Dates are set for Friday 25^th to Sunday 27^th June 2010. The venue is Lincoln University, just out of Christchurch. This is a great venue as everything is on site.  Accommodation is single rooms with shared bathroom facilities.  

School holidays have been avoided this year, which will mean cheaper flights for those needing to fly into Christchurch.

Calling CANTABRIANS – we need you! 
If you are able to help in any way please let us know now. We are looking for people to help on the committee. We will need 6 or 7 people to help with registrations and planning but also some who are just keen to help during the week that the conference is on. We will also need toy libraries who are prepared to open their doors and show case their toy libraries to others.

Please contact the office  if you would be like to be involved, it will be fun and rewarding and we want to show the rest of NZ our "one eyed" Cantabrian sprit!

We are looking forward to hosting this 'National Volunteer Training Weekend' and providing a first rate weekend for all Toy Libraries in NZ”

Start saving now to send as many members as possible! Registrations open December 2009
