New Zealand Tree Crops Association

Conference 2003 - Talks, AGM

Conference PREVIOUS NEXT

This was a busy day. The Technology Bus was available all day, with hands-on advice for computer/internet novices and more experienced surfers (sufferers?).

This was a wonderful facility to have, and the kind and patient help available was simply outstanding. Many tree croppers slotted in a timespot and were glad they did - from a simple time-saving file handling tip, to much more productive internet searching.
