Programme

Thanks to everyone who made the CAN Do 2017 a success. The annual workshop was well attended by about 50 delegates from Warkworth to Timaru. We celebrated 200 years of bicycles and CAN's 20th birthday, and elected a new Board with Executive Team to take us positively into the future. The weekend also provided many opportunities for delegates to swap ideas, news and tips with like-minded people from around the country.
The programme included:
- An informal dinner on Friday night, with a showing of Century of Cycling, Nga Taonga Sound and Vision's compilation of historic cycling film.
