Hawkes Bay Wine Country NZART Conference
The Hawkes Bay Amateur Radio Club Inc (Branch 13) and the Napier Radio Club Inc (Branch 25) invite you to join us for what promises to be an exciting weekend on the amateur radio calendar.
The venue is the Hawkes Bay Opera House. The last time a Conference was held in Hawkes Bay was 1984. The members of both radio clubs looking forward to meeting and hosting old friends again in 2009.
Hawkes Bay is Wine Country. With our 37 wineries and unique Art Deco architecture, Hawkes Bay has become a fun place to travel for a holiday. Napier and Hastings were rebuilt in 1931 after the famous but deadly earthquake of that time. Boutique art galleries, great restaurants and bistros are numerous and Hawkes Bay hospitality is legend.

The organizing committee has unanimously agreed to move the venue for the 2009 Conference from the Hastings Racecourse to the Hawkes Bay Opera House in Hastings.
