    Hi everyone,

    Just to let you know that we have been busy behind the scenes here
    preparing a bid for UNICON XV to be held in Wellington, New Zealand.

    We have narrowed down the dates to Mon 28 Dec 2009 to Thurs Jan 7 2010.

    This should fall in the summer holiday period for Universities and
    Schools in NZ and Australia. It should also fall into the Xmas/New Year
    holiday period for many of our Northern Hemisphere participants. This
    will be the first Southern Hemisphere Unicon hence Dec/Jan in place of
    the usual July/Aug dates (which will be Winter for us).

    Does anyone see any problems with these dates?

    Once we confirm the dates we will need to book venues and put the bid
    to the IUF. Please let us know your thoughts, including which country
    you're from.

    Cheers,

    Ken Looi

    I don't see a problem except the sudden climate change, but you can't
    avoid that anyway. You get my vote for the Dec/Jan dates, unless you
    want to host the first winter games? 😉 Country: Netherlands

    Those dates are probably the best worldwide compromise...

    Hmmm... looks like just enough time to do Christmas, hop on a plane, and
    get there for us in the states. My kids would have to take about a
    week off school to make it work as they get back pretty close after new
    years.

    I doubt there could be a better way to work it out. Spring break is
    the only other thing that comes to mind, but everyone has a different
    week for that...

    Sounds like the best overall answer to me... I would love to go... My
    wife went to Australia / New Zealand almost 20 years ago, and it was
    the trip of her life. She's always talking about how awesome it was...
    Hmmm... college fund or unicon fund... tuff choices... 😉

    We have the same problem with school starting very early in the new
    year, like Jan 3. But missing a little school to compete in the world
    championships and hang with all your friends is an ok compromise.
    Christmas in New Zealand, that is our plan (we'll head over around Dec
    20).

    This will be excellent!

    Yup, I second that! Louise and I really want to go (and take an
    extended trip). Those dates should work out for us.

    My kids like the way you think.

    We are still discussing this one as a family. My wife is the only
    dissenting vote, but she is not above bribery.
