Members can log into the members section to view the Performance Report for NZRLS for the year ended 30 June 2020 which was presented at the AGM.
As mentioned in Turntable earlier this year, the decision was made for NZRLS to cease production of a yearly desk calendar.
However we have worked in association with Karl Morris from New Zealand Railfan, who has produced the 2021 Passing Trains Wall Calendar. NZRLS members will be able to purchase the 2021 Passing Trains Wall calendar direct at a special price exclusive to NZRLS members.
The wall calendar features 13 colourful pre-1999 views of New Zealand trains in a wide range of scenic locations that capture the very essence of our Nation’s fascinating and diverse railway landscape.
Calendars can be ordered from New Zealand Railfan, P O Box 4450, Palmerston North 4442 or by contacting kvmorris100@gmail.com.
International customers please contact Karl for international mailing costs.
