Editor Shaun Barnett, with a small team of hard working helpers, promotes Federated Mountain Clubs  ideals through the Bulletin. Our flagship publication is published four times a year, provides vital links between members and outside agencies, and forms a rich archive of otherwise unpublished material.

The editorial direction of the FMC Bulletin is to provide news, articles and a forum for debate for users of the New Zealand’s public lands, especially members of FMC-affiliated clubs.

The content of the Bulletin is decided by the editor. An executive committee will consider concerns relating to published items. Write to FMC, PO Box 1604 Wellington.

Sorry folks, we won’t do your keyboarding for you. Colour transparencies and photographs should carry the name and address of the submitter, otherwise return can’t be guaranteed. More…
