Anyone who knows me knows how passionate I am about our region; I’ve even been accused of being slightly too passionate.

But as a proud Marlburian, I loved putting together this month’s edition of Marlborough Magazine because it showcases so many positive things about our region.

Finally, would you like a copy of Marlborough Magazine delivered to your home each month? We now have a subscription service, for just $49 a year you’ll receive 12 editions of the magazine delivered to your letterbox.

Just email hellomarlborough@ topsouthmedia.co.nz and we can get it organised for you.
