We welcome submissions from all, and are particularly keen to encourage younger members and those who’ve not written to us before.  If you aren’t sure, please contact us (editor@nzgs.org) and we can give you advice and encouragement.

Material should be forwarded to Marlène Villeneuve,  Don Macfarlane and Gabriele Chiaro at editor@nzgs.org with an absolute deadline of Friday 27th April 2018. We would really appreciate advance warning if you’re working on something so we can prepare!
