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.
