March 2011 gonatural magazine

As you can see by the front cover “A Taste of the Bay” – Gourmet Rally at Rapere is featured with a very good article covering the rally by Wendy Chamberlain, with photos by Glenne Findon and Roni Sime. There is a great deal more, and, as an added bonus… this issue is all in colour!
