Chief Stipe Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 New Zealand Thoroughbred Racing will reschedule its 2023/24 Roadshows now set to be held in February 2024, the same time as last year, although the specific dates are yet to be confirmed. This decision stems from the recent election that took place last Saturday. Before conducting the Roadshows, NZTR wishes to ensure it has a clear understanding of any potential alterations that might affect the racing industry due to a change in government, so that we can better inform our stakeholders and participants. NZTR appreciates your cooperation and will announce the new Roadshow dates as soon as it becomes possible to do so.

I'd already registered for the proposed November one but have no direct correspondence about the deferment other than seeing this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

curious Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 (edited) This was the original correspondence. F'd if I know what the election had to do with it when it was pretty much as expected anyway. http://i1.cmail20.com/ei/y/4D/1E6/836/133051/csfinal/NZTRRoadshowsEDMBanner-9900000000079e3c.png In November and December 2023, NZTR CEO Bruce Sharrock and COO Darin Balcombe will be undertaking Roadshows across the Northern, Central and Southern regions to meet with local stakeholders and provide a strategic update on NZTR activities.

Huey Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Couldn't have anything to do with the CEO brother having a MC runner could it? Can't remember the original dates to quantify that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freda Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 That's a,good observation. Can't blame him if that's the reason. At the risk of being seen as negative, however, I can't see anything to be gained from these 'roadshows' that couldn't be achieved much more economically by regular Q & A sessions with stakeholders. For example, in the early days of Channel X, there was NZTR comment on a regular basis with the opportunity to post one's own questions. The Facebook presence on the other hand I don't like, but that is just me. Probably others find it ok. Either way, there is a prepared script, questions answered, if they are 'acceptable ', nothing much happens and things carry on the same.
