The Safari has been differed and will not take place from March 6th through March 11. The AGM will continue as planned.
Planning is well underway for our 2023 AOPA NZ AGM and the AOPA NZ Summer Safari Northern N.I.. It is not far away and it really helps up if we know who is attending the Safari so that we can be well prepared and send you the right information. Take a few minutes to register today (here).
During the safari it is common for people to attend parts or multiple parts of the Safari rather than the whole thing. That’s fine by us – the more the merrier. But please, if you think you will come even for a day, and you are not yet registered, please register and you will be included in information sharing. Those of you already registered will receive updates on plan activities separate from this message.
You can register on the event page here.
