Convention 2012

Pre-registration page will be available shortly.

In January 2012, from Thursday 5th through to Monday 9th inclusive, the Whangarei Model Engineering Club will host the Model Engineering Association of New Zealand Convention.

Held every two years at a different clubs facilities in New Zealand, the 5 days of activities will see all National affiliated clubs and several International clubs or representative members attending.

As well as a huge variety of locomotives, steam, petrol & electric, that will be there to transport public and convention attendees alike around the 1.2 kilometre track, there will be static displays of a range of miniature engines, along with junior and senior competitions for convention attendee's to solve and present engineering solutions to problems posed.

All this will be fully supported by plenty of food and drink vendors, with other entertainment options available around Heritage Park all day.

At a later date this page will provide the ability for members of other clubs to advise an intention to attend. This can be converted into an actual registration closer to the event once we have the facility available and you are able to confirm your plans to be with us. Until then, those clubs members or special interest parties, who wish to advise now that they may be at the track for the Convention in 2012 can email us at info[at]wmec.org.nz. Replace the [at] with @ before sending us your email.

The 2010 MEANZ Convention was held in Nelson and ran from Wednesday 6th to Sunday 10th January 2010.
