The design of signage and furniture should be standardised and installed as a consistent design suite across the Trail network. Small design modifications and tweaks can be made to the suite for each Section using unique graphics on signage, different colours, patterns and motifs that identifies the unique character for individual Sections along the Trail.

Callbook 2007/2008: What a debacle, and all because Radio Spectrum Group gave us a copy of the database they thought was correct. Yes all information published is sent direct from them. How could we know after all these years of requesting this information and being given it on the proviso that nothing is amended in accordance with the Privacy Act, that it would create such a furor! To say that I have been disappointed, by members and non-members comments is an understatement. I have received unkind and absolute rude comments regarding this years production of call book as has NZART President Bruce ZL2WP, and in many of the cases ownership of the information printed, rests entirely with you.
