Invitation
50 Years of New Zealand in Antarctica 1957-2007
The New Zealand Antarctic Society, in association with Christchurch International Airport Limited as principal sponsor, Antarctica New Zealand, the Christchurch City Council, the International Antarctic Centre and the Air Force Museum, will celebrate 50 years of New Zealand’s involvement in Antarctica during a commemorative weekend of events in September 2007.
A 50 years celebration will be held as an international, national and community event occurring over three days: Friday 28 September – Sunday 30 September 2007 in conjunction with the 2007 Antarctic Festival organised by the Christchurch City Council and Antarctic Link Canterbury.
Representatives from Antarctic Treaty countries, Antarctic organisations, and companies, former and current New Zealand staff working in Antarctic programmes and individuals associated with Antarctica now and in past years are invited to join us in celebrating New Zealand’s successes on ‘the Ice’ in true southern style at Christchurch.
This invitation is also extended to spouses and partners.
The weekend’s events will provide both social and formal opportunities for members of the Antarctic community to join official and VIP guests, fellow former Antarcticans, national and community leaders to commemorate this significant milestone in the history of Antarctica.
We expect strong interest in the anniversary and urge you to register your interest for this important event at your earliest opportunity to avoid disappointment.
