Good Luck on your Ventures to NZ. I hope it all works out for you and your family. You have a very positive attitude which helps.
Look forward to hearing more from you.

Hamilton is a nice place. In June the place is buzzing with the Mystery Creek Fielday's Agriculture show. It's on for four days and if you get a chance go and have a look it's not all Farm related.

That's not bad, Singapore have some good fares on their website at the moment - from around £440 + tax makes it about £550-600 if you get the right dates. Mine were £620 all in for my recce trip - it was £580 from London so works out cheaper than getting a connecting flight down to London.

Hi there, I got your email, sorry i never got back to you. I am going to find out for you if there is anyone over there or if they intend to send people over to the UK to interview. I'm sure with your experience you will have no problems at all getting into the NZ corrections service. I'm sure you are aware that the wages to start with are pretty poor, but if you have a little put aside and are willing to do abit of overtime, you will be fine. If you need any more info mate, I'd be happy to help. Best of Luck!

Hello MV5555

I'm really pleased for you that you'll soon be finally on your way. Like all the other officers on this site we've spoke quite often over the last year. If we decide to go (which has to be soon) we would be at Waikeria which I believe that is where you will be. If you come accross Tony Collins then please say "Hi" on my behalf.

Good Luck and keep in touch

Suze x
