FIELD TRIPS

Good day Delegates,

The CTEC Council is happy to announce that with some keen negotiating and persuasion we were able to award each delegate their number one choice for the Friday morning field trips. Specific information for each field trip will be sent out this evening in regards to start time, arrival time and suggested clothing.

General information points:

Be aware that weather can restrict helicopter flights at any given time, however the forecast does look promising.
Those receiving notification about golf that you are encouraged to bring your clubs.
Those delegates selecting the Spa experience that massages are not included in the experience due to lack of massage staff.
Those delegates that are caving please read the email coming this evening carefully to expedite your start up. Start time for caving is 8:00am.

Some of the field trips are shorter than others and we strongly encourage delegates to join in the round table discussions at the conference hotel on Friday morning if time permits.

You will receive your field trip ticket when you register for the conference tomorrow afternoon/evening.
