This year our major fundraising drive is to purchase new flip-top tables on wheels which make them really easy to move around.
We're not getting any younger and our backs get really sore collapsing our heavy tables whenever we hold a large meeting, workshop or exhibition.
The new tables have an easy flip mechanism, no back breaking pack down process required. They are much lighter and move around easily to allow us to re-configure the room quickly when we have and are on wheels with brakes.
The Entertainment book has great bargains on meals, movies, sports events, music and so much more - all for $65. You can get the book from our office or a digital membership on your phone - follow the link below.

Domestic censorship in New Zealand 1914 to 1920
Hear from archivist and historian Jared Davidson, who has just published Dead Letters: Censorship and Subversion in New Zealand 1914-1920 (Otago University Press), revealing the impact of domestic censorship on the lives of radicals, writers, and everyday people during wartime and beyond.
'Haiku' film documentaries about the Great War
Then enjoy a selection of films from Anna Cottrell’s TV series Great War Stories, which reveal moving personal stories in letters and diaries, including some that escaped the censors.
Great War Stories consist of five TV series of short personal stories told through letters and diaries, many held in the ATL, some from whānau.
Among eight ‘haiku’ documentaries are Leonard Hart’s harrowing letter about the horrors of Passchendaele that evaded the censors; and Te Puea’s refusal to send her men to fight ‘white men’s wars’.
Another victim of the State was young Victor Spencer, shot at dawn for desertion in spite of his letter pleading poor mental health.
After reading a family diary Gareth Farr, composer, wrote a cello concerto for three relatives killed on the Western Front. Katherine Mansfield writes movingly about the death of her brother Leslie Beauchamp
