Megaphone and Newsletters of the NZCMRR

Newsletter was where it all started, a way of keeping in touch and sharing information, today they are a wonderful recording of events, ideas, stories, advertising and humour and a chance to delve into our history.

We have been searching for and scanning some past issues and bringing them back to life to share with you as they range from the 80’s till the present. Keep checking as we will be uploading as they are scanned.

If you would like to read the current year, then please login to the members section (top right) and join.

This is a work in progress and we will have some missing, maybe you could help – please contact us if you can.
