Happy New Year to everyone.  We hope you all have a fantastic year.

Your Committee has been working on bringing you, our members, more benefits for 2021 and beyond.  

These include:

• more events next year, at least once every month, starting with
• • tour of HMNZS Wellington Navy ship third week of February
  • technical talk on underwater coatings on 25th March
• 2021 convention, in Hamilton, with great speakers, and more accommodation choices
• a new, revised website, with more capabilities and an area to highlight our advertisers and sponsors
• greater use of social media to keep everyone up to date, and hopefully attract some new members
• access to webinars
• change to the credit card payment system, saving $1,200 per year
• more significant interaction with the Coatings Societies International Association for updated international information and cooperation

We look forward to catching up you all next year and wish you and your families a safe and happy 2021.

Kindest regards
