Hello Friends,
  Greetings to you all for 1980. By now I hope you are all sporting magnificent tans and that some of you have managed to get away to a quiet spot for a few days break. Firstly I must take this opportunity to thank Lois Kennedy who very kindly wrote our last newsletter while John and I were busy shifting house.
And secondly thank you for all the suggestions on places to go and things to see, Ted is finding this information most helpful.
 

FREE BEACHES COME OUT OF THE WOODWORK Our assistant Secretary, Tony Wilson, burns a lot of midnight oil Processing, Cataloguing and Corresponding with our newly enrolled members and he and I are just a little disappointed at the lack of response shown by some of you not attending at least some of the outings. Use your phone if you wish to make up a car load to cut cost — be brave — lash out and you will be pleasantly surprised we know...
 

MISSING Some time ago our resident artist painted two signs in Rescue Orange with black lettering which read,

These were printed to warn the unconverted. Somewhere along the line they have gone missing so if any one knows of their whereabouts please phone me 602740 Auckland.
