Showtime

the Convention will run as a fully vaccinated event. Everyone will have to present a valid Vaccine Pass for scanning upon arrival at the Convention location.
By registering you acknowledge you will be able to meet these requirements.

The convention committee has worked very hard to try and keep the registration costs as low as possible.  This convention we are offering an option for members to come only to the Saturday night dine & dance.   If you want to come to the full weekend, (or attend perhaps the business session only), you will fill in Section A on the registration form – with a registration fee of $35 for Lions, and $20 for non lion partners. If you would only like to come and join with us on the Saturday evening for the Dine & Dance, Please fill out Section B on the registration form – there will be no registration fee for this option, but the evening cost is $60 per person. If you do choose this option, you will only be allowed to attend the Saturday night function – no other weekend events.

The theme for the cake decoration will be “Showtime”.  This could mean a circus show, theatre show, movies, Oscar night, Dance Show, Great Gatsby, the options are endless. The cakes will be auctioned on Saturday night with the proceeds going to Camp Quality South. There will be two trophies up for grabs. One for the best cake decoration (to be judged), and one for the cake that fetches the highest price at auction.

The dress code for Friday evening will be smart casual.

Saturday business session:  Dress code casual. Cabinet members polo shirts

Dress up and have some fun on Saturday evening. Theme for dress up is “Showtime”, so the options are endless. Dress up your team as favourite TV stars, movie stars, Oscar night, Circus, Black & White, etc, etc. etc – Use your imagination. A guest judge will judge the best dressed team.
