- Working together to keep nasties out of New Zealand
- Controlling common greenhouse pests (whitefly, psyllid, russet mite, aphids & caterpillars) with biologicals as part of an IPM
- Best practice hygiene for your greenhouse: the Dutch perspective
You will be able to participate online but to get the most out of the afternoon, please consider joining us in person.
Date: 8th August
Time: 12pm sharp to 5pm (including lunch)
Venue: Navigation Homes Stadium, Pukekohe
Please RSVP for catering purposes: https://forms.office.com/r/GR3nEd2bu
*At the AGM, the Board will propose a change to the TNZ rules. The reason for this is that the Incorporated Society Act 2022 requires certain aspects to be covered by entity rules that were not already present in the TNZ rules. The board has taken this opportunity to also make a few other minor changes for example adding that online voting will always be allowed at an AGM. Please see below for a copy of the proposed new rules. Sections that have seen significant changes are highlighted in yellow. There is also an explanation of the proposed changes for you to look at below – these cover the changes required by the Act and the proposed extra changes and the reasons for each one.
