Welcome
Dear Colleagues,
It is our pleasure to invite you to the 2012 Nelson weekend meeting, March 30th till April 1st.
Our venue is a little different. Founders Heritage Park historic village is the result of local spirit; set up by the community with donation of original historic buildings as well as construction of replica buildings. An extensive collection of up to 20,000 artefacts was donated by Nelson residents. It regularly hosts large public events such as Craft Beer Festivals, March Fest and the Festival of Opportunities.
The theme for AGS 2012 will be Colorectal but will also touch on Upper GI, Radiation Oncology and Plastics. Sunday morning will see something new: a Pecha Kucha session. The scientific program is complemented by a number of social activites including an arts tour around the region by one of our local artists, a mountain biking adventure and of course wine tasting.
The dinner is to be held in the WOW museum, a ‘must see’ Nelson NZ visitor attraction that celebrates two distinctly different passions. A world class collection of classic cars, one of Australasia’s largest private collections, can be viewed alongside incredible wearable works of art from all around the globe.
Add the scenery and surrounds of our beautiful Nelson region for a full and fun weekend for all.
We look forward to seeing you in Nelson.
Sincerely yours,
