By now, most of our members are back at work after (hopefully) a nice break away from the office. After an unusually difficult 2020, it was more important than ever to have a change of scenery and recharge the batteries. No doubt 2021 will have its challenges, but luckily, as New Zealanders, we are able to experience a relatively normal and relaxing summer. 

Staff in the National Office took full advantage of the pleasant weather, enjoying themselves doing various activities in various locations around the country. You will see us in the photo montage above.
