The next Branch Meeting is on Wednesday, 26th June, 2019


The Branch meeting will take place from 7.30pm at the Alexandra Park Convention Centre (tea and coffee served from 7pm, and please note there will be the usual $5 cover charge). In order to ensure that we're not disturbed by music from other gatherings, we are using the "Top of the Park" room on the 5th floor.


We will be continuing to selectively video speakers and then posting these to the NZSA website, so that other members may also enjoy our speakers' presentations.
