4. Vacancy - our MaG Editor
Sadly for us, Roger and Dael Foy are moving to Auckland - so we are looking for a new editor for our quarterly MaG.
While a voluntary role, with Publisher no longer supported (from October) a new publishing package, and similar, as required, will be provided. A great opportunity for the MG enthusiast with some computer skills. Questions, or to indicate your interest please contact President Paul - he, and our committee, would be keen to hear from you.
