A huge thank you to Tekapo Springs who hosted our most recent B2B (Business to Business) these are a great way to re-connect with the business community, do a bit of networking and maybe even learn something new - we did ! Michi and Walter Speck gave an interesting overview of the history of Ice Hockey in the Mackenzie, and Tekapo Springs not only fed and watered us with delicious food and wine ( which they very generously provided) - we also got a sneak peek at the Virtual Reality and Curling. Jack the head stargazing guide also gave us a bit of an overview of the TS operation.

Our next B2B is August at Art Space Tekapo and Petronellas on August 19th so Save The Date !

A big thank you to everyone involved with the A2O hui held last month at Peppers. A wonderful function and networking in conjunction with TPBA, Waitaki Tourism, CHCNZ and A2O. Thank you to all who attended and all who facilitated.
