Newcastle notes on venues, equipment & supplies
Conference venues in Newcastle are mostly hotels, guest houses and a few lodges, so groups over 80 may need a hall. Ask about generators, since storms and outages can knock out power. Projector and PA hire is available locally for small events; bigger sound often comes from Gauteng or Durban. Local printers can produce learner guides, and flip chart pads are easy to buy in town.
Newcastle: the employers, the venues and the calendar
Northern KwaZulu-Natal's industrial town, Newcastle has a large steel works, textile and clothing factories, chemical plants and a coal and power station belt around it, all of which book shop floor training, supervisor programmes and safety courses. The Newcastle municipality and the Amajuba district offices bring public sector strategy sessions and imbizos, and the TVET college and schools in Madadeni and Osizweni need staff development and assessor training. Most sessions are held in town, at the factory or in guest houses and lodges near the Ncandu River and the Drakensberg foothills. Facilitators often drive from Durban, Pietermaritzburg or Gauteng, so ask about travel days. Winters here are cold and dry with frosty mornings, and summers bring thunderstorms.
Typical flip charts requests in the area come from:
- Mines, plants, factories and farms: sturdy stands for safety talks and toolbox sessions at a plant or mine
- Government departments and municipalities: flip charts for departmental workshops, imbizos and APP planning sessions
- Schools, colleges and universities: pads and stands for classrooms, staff development days and learner programmes
Local tips for Newcastle
Common here: factory supervisor and safety training, municipal planning sessions, TVET staff days. Ask each provider about this: ask whether the facilitator charges a travel day from Durban or Gauteng. Where they work from: the CBD, Newcastle industrial area and guest houses on the edge of town.
Around Newcastle the largest group asking is mines, plants, factories and farms, which usually means sturdy stands for safety talks and toolbox sessions at a plant or mine. Before you agree to anything: water based markers, so no bleed. Getting there: three to four hours by road from Durban or Johannesburg; travel days are often billed.
Service area: Newcastle and surrounds
Briefs from Newcastle go to providers that already work in Madadeni, Osizweni, Blaauwbosch, Utrecht, Dannhauser, Charlestown and the rest of the area. Say whether the session is at your premises or a venue, and whether you need help finding one.
