Notice to Overseas Groups

Due to the high cost of postage the National Fuchsia Society of New Zealand regrets that it is no longer possible to post copies of the Link magazine to kindred societies. As a compromise articles and photos of general interest from that magazine will presently be published on this web site.
See the Link to Articles.

Copies will continue to be posted to overseas independent members.
