CMSA AGM (Tuesday)
The CMSA AGM will take place on Tuesday 2 December in MCLT101 at 5pm, immediately after the final contributed talks of the day.Excursion (Wednesday)
The conference excursion will be on Wednesday 3 December. Weather permitting, the excursion will involve a ferry trip to Matiu / Somes Island, in the middle of the harbour. The island has been a site of human habitation since well before the colonial era. In the nineteenth centuries, the island was a quarantine site for recent arrivals to New Zealand. It also served as an internment camp for detainees during the world wars. Later, it was used for the quarantine of imported farm animals. Now, the island is a reserve for native birds and reptiles, including kākāriki, a native parakeet (their name lends itself to the Māori word for “green”), and tuatara, a reptile species that resembles lizards. Arrive by 11:15am at Queens Wharf (location here) for an 11:30am sailing. We will return to Queens Wharf by 4pm.
Conference Dinner (Thursday)
