Some fun facts about Dunedin:

•Dunedin is the oldest city in New Zealand. Founded in 1848, it owes its roots, as well as its name, to Scotland (named from the Gaelic for Edinburgh - Dùn Èideann). It’s called the ‘Edinburgh of the South’.

•Dunedin is known as the wildlife capital of New Zealand.

•It is one of the best preserved Victorian and Edwardian cities in the southern hemisphere.

•Dunedin can lay claim to many New Zealand firsts: the first university, first medical and dental schools, first daily newspaper and first public art gallery.

Conference 2024 in Dunedin

is nearly here!

We look forward to welcoming all of you to Dunedin for Conference 2024 ‘A Stitch in Time’ and a celebration of embroidery. We say all of you because we’ve had such a wonderful response, with over 300 attendees registered so far.

It’s going to be a fun Conference, with the all-important BGM meetings, wonderful speakers, and merchants (and wow!! have we got some great merchants for you). You already know how exciting our tutor’s classes look, from the number of classes that are full. And the icing on the cake: we are celebrating ANZEG’s 50th anniversary all week.

Remember, the Conference dinner at Larnach Castle is going to be ‘Golden’ to celebrate 50 years of the Association, so dress up – the more gold the better!
