The ACT Chapter held its AGM on Tuesday 22nd February, and the new committee were elected. Then followed a committee meeting, at which a good deal of time was spent discussing the 2006 National Conference.
National Conference 2006
The dates for the National Conference are 5th-8th October, 2006 at University House, Australian National University.
For those early birds who wish to book accommodation soon, there is excellent on site accommodation at University House ph (02) 6125 5275 or (02) 6125 5276. Just mention that you are booking for the ANATS Conference.
As the dates fall during the time of Floriade, one of Canberra’s main tourist attractions, it would be advisable to think of booking early. You might even be tempted to spend a few extra days in the National Capital and experience the many attractions Canberra has to offer.
The Chifley Hotel is also expecting hoards of Conference delegates to book with them guests to quote “Singing Conference”.
The Chifley Hotel’s contact details are ph (02) 6249 1411, fax (02) 6249 6878, email reservations.northbourne@chifleyhotels.com
As yet, Conference 2006 is nameless, and we have not yet finalised a list of presenters. We will however keep you informed of our progress. In the meantime, put the dates in your diary, and your $2 coins in a piggy bank.
We have also mapped out a programme for our year’s activities:
Workshops for Singers
The workshops for singers are on:
- Sunday May 29th
- Friday 9th and Sunday 11th September
- Sunday November 6th
Professional Development Day
In addition, we are planning a Professional Development Day in either late July or late October.
Also planned is an afternoon with a Speech Pathologist during
the first half of the year. The date to be arranged.
We wish you all a happy teaching year. Best wishes
from the ACT Chapter.
