Venue for all functions: Burnie Arts and Function Centre, Wilmot Street, Burnie.
Convention Administration Chairman: RC Lion John Medwin.
The Makers' Workshop: Something of interest for everybody, Makers, Hand crafts, Hands on paper making tours, Licensed Coffee Shop and Tasmanian Visitor Information desk. If you have questions, all the trained staff are more than happy to assist you.
Pioneer Village Museum: A short walk across the plaza from the BAFC. See the Early Burnie streetscape and where all the historic photo's of Burnie are being lovingly restored and archived by the staff and volunteers.
Hellyer Road Distillery and Restaurant: Looking for a bottle of smooth single malt whisky? I'll bet you are. A visit to the distillery only 100 metres along the road from the National Foods "Lactos" cheese factory you will find it. Visit both venues and take home something to remember the city by.
The Registration Data Base received from Lion Erik Madsen (Kingborough Lions Club) and has been modified to suit the 2010 Burnie Convention. Our thanks to him for his assistance. Also our thanks to Ms. Karissa Townsend of Burnie LINC for her work on modifying the database for us. It is one powerful program now with full reporting functions at the "click" of a selected button. It is now ready for use.
We are currently researching the feasability of conducting a partner's tour for Saturday 13th from mid morning to mid afternoon. "The Sights of Burnie" A conducted bus tour that would take in the many beautiful features of our city and environs. This would include short walks in at least two venues, so suitable foot wear would be essential.
Post script: 23rd November 2010. It is all over and the convention had to be one of the best held in our Lions District. The numbers of registrations were above what the Club expected. The venue was tops with ample catering facilities, and everything under one roof. Perhaps the highlight was the Saturday night formal dinner. with 180 Lions, partners and invited guest enjoying a magnificent meal, and equally good entertainment provided by the Burnie Concert Band.
Later in the evening we were all treated to talented voices of MD Council Chairman Bob Gilchrist and his lovely wife Barbara who sund songs from well known shows in harmony. Real show people that had the audience in their hands. Thank you Lion Bob and Barbara for the treat you gave us all who attended.
The time table as set out in the program ran like clockwork with a little time to spare which was easilly filled with items of interest. There were 19 stalls displaying the information for the various portfolios of 
District Chair persons in cluding the Rightious Pups group who train dogs as support for autistic children. Thes dogs are brilliant and need to be seen to be believes in what a calming effect that they have in recipients.

REMINDER TO ALL 201T1 LIONS.
