For those who live a great distance from civilisation it can be difficult. To join the FNZAS you must join an affiliated club or society. I realise attending club meetings is not possible for you either. Our club has a number of members who join for the club newsletter, Aquarium World, and the ability to contact likeminded people when they have a problem, or question. They either live in an area that does not have a club, or live too far away to be able to attend meetings. We have members in Ashburton, Motueka, Wellington and Texas USA. We used to have a Westport member too. If you wish to join the Marlborough Aquarium Club Pegasus you would be most welcome to do so. Our subs are $15 single or $20 family and the newsletter is emailed in pdf format (read using Adobe Acrobat Reader). The sub covers the FNZAS capitation fee.
The FNZAS produces an annual Year Book which is sent free to all members. This lists all members' names, addresses, phone and/or fax (with only one I can think of who refused to give permission to us to print his contact details). Those who wish their email address to be known will have it listed in the Year Book also.
