The event is being planned with a focus on both fun and fundamentals. According to PANZ officer, Glenys Forbes, “Nelson is planning a very diverse program of presenters and demonstrators, who are very happy to share their knowledge and experience. Make this your holiday! This is a beautiful region of the country, with so much to see and do. April is the time for Autumn colors and further south you have the grandeur of the mountains and lakes.”
