Travel Reimbursements

Car pool reinmbursementWe acknowledge it costs some people a lot more money to attend Connect than others. And we are excited to be able to offer three different travel reimbursements this year.

The Upper North Island Group Discount

For Churches (in Taupo or further north) with 4 or more participants attending Connect.

A $50 discount will be given on the total registration cost for each multiple of 4 people attending.

The Upper North Island Carpool Reimbursement

For people driving in a vehicle:

  1. With four or more people in it
  2. Departing from Taupo or further north
  3. And has given a petrol receipt of greater than $50 to the reception desk on arrival at Connect.

A $50 reimbursement per vehicle will be given.

If you are travelling in a larger vehicle, for every multiple of 4 people you take, that same multiple of $50 will be given. eg, if you drive a van with 12 people from Auckland. You will be entitled to a $150 reimbursement. Just remember, we would need to be given a petrol receipt or a copy of the receipt totalling at least $150.

If your car isn’t full to receive the reimbursement, we encourage you to think about carpooling with people from other local congregations. Consider calling youth leaders you know from other churches and ask if they want a road trip with you to Connect.
Southern Presbytery Reimbursement

For participants flying from the Southland and Otago, we have 30 reimbursements on offer. To receive a $50 reimbursement

  1. Send the email confirmation of your flight to gordon@pym.org.nz before 15 May.
