Although The Upper Hutt Connection operates as a one-man band, it would be rather boring if it wasn’t for everyone who contributes articles, and those organisations who allow me to use their material for articles. I’ve done my best to keep track of everyone who has allowed me to use their material and those who have sent in articles.

My apologies if you were left out of this list, I assure you it wasn’t intentional.
