[pima.nius] Fwd: [Freedom-Forum] Pacific Mini Games Media Invitation

12:31 PM |

PACIFIC MINI GAMES 2009 MEDIA INVITATION

Kia orana

This is a first call for expressions of interest from media wanting to attend and cover the Pacific Mini Games in Rarotonga (September 21 to October 2). Please make sure you reply directly to my email address above, as we'll build a contacts list from EOIs received.

Local media are helping the PMG organisation with media hosting, and we have contracted to oversee set up and running of the proposed Media Centre.

Our intention is to set up the Media Centre in central Avarua (the main town of Rarotonga) which will serve as a base for visiting reporters, photographers and attached production people.  This will include work space and furniture, wi-fi internet access, some complete work stations, meals (using a general Media Pass at a variety of dining venues), transportation (van with driver, or access to buses) and event information.

There will also be media rooms at several of the event venues, where wi-fi is promised, but we are not taking responsibility for these areas.

At this stage we are not able to provide accommodation, but we ask you to advise type of accommodation preferred, as Cook Islands Tourism is helping with media hosting and can assist with bookings, etc. Depending on interest, we may organise marae-type accommodation for those who prefer it (to keep costs minimal).

Note that in the 11 days from September 10 to the start of PMG on Saturday 21st, the annual Te Maeva Nui Cultural Festival will be held in Rarotonga. This is the very best showcase of Cook Islands cultural competition, involving all of our outer islands, and is a great spectacle of colour, dance, music and language. Media are welcome to attend all or part of the festival.

In your reply, please also indicate if you want us to arrange rental vehicles for you, and if you have any special equipment or facility needs.

Proper PMG 2009 Media Accreditation forms will be available on line by the end of this week, on the PMG website. http://www.sportingpulse.com/
