I would be a starter for this - why not make use of the NZSG offices in Parnell -  I am confident they would welcome us, if we asked nicely

That would be great DonL,

Send Percy Potter a PM and let him know what dates etc you would be available and where you think we should meet

Just bringing this to the top again, I recall someone suggested we try the NZSG for a meeting venue, howwever I suspect we may need someone who is a member to make the approaches and wonder if any of those interested are and could make an approach to them.

I suspect that with the normal attrition rates we may well just wind up with about half a dozen at the most and whether they are likely to put themselves out for so few is debatable..

Your thoughts would be appreciatted.

if it's an indoor place you want - there is always the Family History part of the Auckland Library. They have a room there that may be available.

Hi Helen,

That sounds like a good idea. May be worth checking out and we could some research at the same time

Or help other RC'ers out in our group

The library has lock ins - maybe one a year. starting about 8pm and staying overnight til the next morning. I heard it was good fun.

[DonL]

It was sad to read in the latest NZSG magazine of the death at age 52 of the Library Family History coordinator, who had arraged these lock ups events -  so this might not be a starter until a replacement is appointed.

PS I am a member of NZSG but not a frequeent visitor to the Panmure headquarters. If no one else locally available to talk with them, I could make contact.

Yes it was very sad to read about Karen. I am also a NZSG member but have never visited the Panmure headquarters
