Own room options - 2 b/r suites

If you want to have your own bedroom/room at Convergence, we are offering 2 options. 
At the Quality Hotel, you can nominate a Std King suite - $1320 total registration cost. 
Also at the Quality Hotel, there are 4 x  2 b/room suites which have one double bed in the second bedroom - this bedroom can be single occupancy, or perhaps a couple who want to share with 2 others in the other bedroom (additional cost for partner would apply here).
Single occupancy of this bedroom in the 4 x 2 b/room suites costs $1145 for registration. 
In the 2 bedroom suites, maximum occupancy is 4 people, minimum (as above) 3 people.

Extra days accommodation

If you want to book additional days, prior to or after Convergence at the Quality Hotel , please indicate the dates on your registration form. We will organise this for you with the hotel, and you pay us directly for the extra days. The room we allocate to you for Convergence will be the room that you will occupy for your extra days, and assist both us and the hotels in coordinating our planning. (We will probably be able to book extra days at a more favourable rate anyway.)

Convergence Guest Artist

We are pleased to let you know that we will have Fiona Duthie from Salt Spring Island, BC, Canada as our Guest Artist at Convergence 2015.
Fiona hasn't attended a collegial type of event like Convergence before, is delighted to be involved, and is much looking forward to it..
View her work on her website/blog at http://www.fionaduthie.com - her wonderful designs, techniques and creative use of colour.

Final registration forms for our 25th Anniversary Convergence have been distributed to as many people/organisations that we can think of.
We have already had many returned - we have 180 places available, and it looks as if there is more than enough interest to fill these quite quickly.
On the form, when you choose your preferred room options please enter 3 (1st, 2nd, 3rd) preferences to assist in room allocations. If you are registering for just yourself use 'Pref A' column. If your partner will be staying at the hotel with you, please use the 'Pref B' column to record your preferences, and enter your partner's name in the right hand column.
If you know people who you want to share a room with, enter their names - if you don't we will just allocate someone we feel is suitable to share with you.
It isn't mentioned on the form. but there will be a 'suitcase sale' option at Convergence, where you can display and offer your products for sale - cost $20 for those registered. We will be in touch later about this.
Please get your registration forms to us as soon as you can - even although deposits are not due until the end of March (registrations must be with us no later than Feb 28th), rooms will be allocated on a 'first received - first served' basis.

Regards & a very happy 2015 to you all
