I'm writing to give you an update for the Branch Meeting on Wednesday, 20th November, 2019, which will take place from 7.30pm at the Alexandra Park Convention Centre (tea and coffee served from 7pm, and please note there will be the usual $5 cover charge). In order to ensure that we're not disturbed by music from other gatherings, we are using the "Top of the Park" room on the 5th floor.

We will be continuing to selectively video speakers and then posting these to the NZSA website, so that other members may also enjoy our speakers' presentations.

As this is the last Branch meeting for 2019 we invite our members to join the committee for a complimentary drink after the proceedings.
