Their services are open to anyone, and they support a wide geographic region - from New Plymouth and Taupo through to the Eastern Bay of Plenty, all the way up to Cape Reinga.
They are open Monday to Friday, 9:30 am - 4:00 pm, and annual membership is just $20 (although anyone can access their services).
What they offer:
