Branches & Associations

Out & about in the regions

With Master Plumbers branch and association social activities lining up for the year ahead, here’s a quick look back at some events to mark the end of 2020.

A new Master Plumbers Branch and Association engagement drive has resulted in each region coming up with a programme of social activities for this year (see page 43)— a great way for members to meet up, share news and enjoy good times together.

To find out what’s coming your way, go to the online calendar at www.masterplumbers.org.nz/events/calendar/
