We have picked up a number of boxes that we will now go through to see exactly what’s in them.

Wellington Launch
We are pleased to announce that the Howard League is launching a branch in Wellington later this

Otago Dinner/Lecture
On 2 November, the Howard League in Otago held a dinner and a lecture by Prof. John Pratt on research he is currently completing on the tremendous contrasts in punishment between Anglophone and Nordic societies. It was a great night. Thanks to Len, Anne and the whole team down there for putting it on. It was a great night.
Best regards,
The Howard League team in Canterbury.
