Thank you ......... , Canada. To explain, ASNZ,(Astrological Society of New Zealand) has been run predominantly by Auckland where it was first brought into being. Members elsewhere in NZ, exist in virtual isolation except for the several tiny groups, of which there have been about six functioning in the past, but now perhaps 2 or 3. ASNZ filled an indispensable role, especially for the thinly scattered nonAucklanders. A second group started up in Auckland which catered only for the locals there. This was a real threat to ASNZ's continued existence, so steps were being taken to wind up this body in spite of its unnecessarily large reserve fund. Several of us disagreed with its intending closure, but the new president was standing very firm in her determination that it had to be wound up. It became a real battle unfortunately, and the main blame was and still seems to be, heaped on me: in truth because I refused to give in, and was prepared to appeal to the Registrar of Incorporated societies. This seemed to be taken, together with my audacity in opposing the president's decree, as an unforgivable misdemeanor, and her side of the story was, to some extent, taken on board by most of her Auckland acquaintances. I felt it necessary to book a plane journey there for a special general meeting, and found the atmoshere somewhat cool -- "enemy territory". My d of b. Masterton 1 - 0ct. 1922. Asc. mid-cancer. My 'scope shows a triangle of Quintiles and one of septiles. My sincere apologies for the long delay. Brian.

Safely back from enemy territory. ASNZ will continue with as yet no great change.

ASNZ's FUTURE?

he biggest savings appear to be by electronic mailing.
