The Hakluyt Society has honorary secretaries based around the world. The current New Zealand representative is John Robson, Maps Librarian, Waikato University, Hamilton. For an annual subscription of ₤60.00 members receive all volumes published by the Society, other than those of the Extra Series, during the period of their membership. Occasionally local events are organised. In October 1997, New Zealand members held a dinner at the Canterbury Club, with guest speaker Professor Peter Holland (Geography, University of Otago). A limited edition publication of that occasion was produced (60 copies only). Here is the printed list of attendees, and the dinner menu for that night.
