Review of the Dunedin Conference
Hi there to those of you who live in the South Island and north of Dunedin,
From those of us who attended the Dunedin Seminar yesterday, we urge you to attend Craig and Barbara’s Workshops in Oamaru, Timaru, Ashburton and Christchurch!! Our Dunedin Seminar was awesome, and we all need this kind of encouragement to counteract what comes against us on this journey.
Please don’t let complacency or the weather stop you. Some of our attendees drove for over two hours in wet weather to come to our seminar.
So register if you need to, or just get along there!
Barbara and Craig have decades of experience to share with you. Make the most of their wisdom – we are so fortunate to have this couple who give unselfishly of their time and energy to encourage us to keep on with what we are doing.
Come on, you won’t regret it!
The Dunedin Committee.
p.s. Tell your friends!
