Wellington Outgames registrations to open 12 June 2010
Registrations for the 2nd AsiaPacific Outgames will open online on June 12.
There will be special events that weekend in Melbourne, Brisbane, Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch.
The Auckland event will be held at the 5-star Hilton Hotel, with spectacular views of the harbour. There will be entertainment, special guests and a great prize to be won on the night.
If you live in one of these cities, we'd love to see you. Details about these events and how you can come along will be given on the Outgames website www.wellingtonoutgames.co.nz in coming weeks.

Facebook and the Wellington Outgames
Facebook is helping to keep people around the whole region up to date with news about next year's 2nd AsiaPacific Outgames. The Outgames has its own page ("Wellington Outgames") you can join. There will be a video shot in Wellington on the page next month. And the first group page in Asia has been created ("Philippine Team to Wellington 2011 Asia Pacific Outgames").

Joining both of these is a great way of seeing who else is interested in the Outgames and hearing about plans under way. And if you're not in Australia, New Zealand or the Philippines - why not start a Facebook Outgames supporters page of your own!
