Sponsorship
and Trade
Greetings from the CLESOL 2006 Organising Committee!
CLESOL 2006 is hosted by BAYTESOL, the Hawke’s Bay
branch of TESOLANZ, with the generous support of our sponsors.
The conference is being held in Napier, New Zealand, Friday 29 September
to Monday 2 October 2006.
Napier is a stylish and unique city located in the Hawke's Bay region
of New Zealand's North Island. It is characterised by a friendly population,
excellent restaurants, outstanding gardens and the incredible atmosphere
created by its architectural heritage. After being levelled by earthquake
and fire in 1931, it was rebuilt in the depths of the great Depression
with optimism and vitality in the styles of the thirties - Spanish Mission,
Stripped Classical and above all Art Deco. Napier is a sophisticated
city, popular with vacationing New Zealanders because of the pleasant
climate and the wonderful beaches.
There are lots of events happening
in September and October in Napier. For information visit the following
