New membership benefits

THE ADVANTAGES of belonging to Forest and Bird are now even greater. With your 1996 membership renewal receipt you will receive a "1996" sticker to place on your current membership card. You can now get discounts by presenting your card (with the current year’s sticker on it) to the companies below: Kathmandu (adventure and travel clothing and equipment) — free "Summit Club" membership which entitles you to between 10 percent and 30 percent discount depending on the size of the purchase. Mount Cook Landline — 30 percent discount off standard adult fares exceeding $20. Bivouac (outdoor clothing and equipment) — at least 10 percent discount off recommended retail price on most items. Naturally New Zealand Holidays — these holidays cover anything from guided walking, nature touring and walking, rafting and canoeing, backroad cycling to mini-stays and safaris. They

have offered a 10 percent discount on bookings made directly with them on 0800 101 301. Heavily reduced connecting airfares are also available. Kathmandu and Bivouac both have outlets in Auckland, Christchurch and Wellington while Mount Cook Landline operates extensively in the South Island and on the main central North Island route. The card also provides benefits for Forest and Bird. On the back of your card is an Ansett account number. If you are travelling anywhere by Ansett, quote this number (MC 10053) when booking your ticket and a percentage of the ticket price will be given to the society — it will not affect the price of your ticket. We plan to keep building on this list of benefits. If you have already renewed your membership, thank you and we hope that you enjoy the new benefits. If you haven't, please take the time to renew today — your membership will make a big difference.
