You may have heard that Southern Colour Print, a long-time Dunedin printing company and the firm that prints Tui Motu magazine, has been sold to Blue Star. This will mean that from June Tui Motu magazine will be printed in Christchurch. Apparently the name, Southern Colour Print, will be retained and a small staff with whom we will liaise will remain in our part of the motu.

We are grateful to Southern Colour Print for their printing excellence over many years. The staff, and especially our contacts Jim and Nigel, have served us well in ensuring that the high standard of the magazine's printing continued issue after issue.

In the coming months we will find out how the change to Christchurch affects us.
