Our day-time office hours are from 0830 to 1700 Mondays to Thursdays and 0830 to 1500 on Fridays except for public holidays. We also remain open until approximately 2000 on Tuesday evenings to allow those who are in full-time work to come along and talk to us.
Visiting
For those who want to come to see us - out of curiosity, to talk about our services, offer us help as tutors or other assistance - we will be delighted to welcome you during office hours.
You are looking for the entrance you see in the picture above!
If you look at the map opposite you can see that we are situated almost in the centre of Palmerston North in the rear courtyard of the Square Edge building (on the South West corner of the Square itself).
You can reach us in one of two ways -
- From the Square If the Square Edge building - in the South West corner of the square - is open, walk through it as indicated by one of the green arrows on the map. You will come out in a small courtyard after walking down the steps at the back. Look up and slightly to your left you should see the entrance shown in the picture above.
- From FitzHerbert Avenue The second green arrow indicates that you need to walk along the narrow lane just to the South side of the Gull garage. Once you have reached the very end you will be in the courtyard at the back of the Square Edge building. Turn left, look up and you will see the entrance shown in the picture above.
Telephone
Our full phone number is +64 (0) 6 359 2615. If the phone is unattended for some reason, there is voice-mail which you can use to leave a message. Any message you leave will be responded to as soon as possible.
You may of course send us e-mail at any time to info@alpn.org.nz. We endeavour to respond to e-mail as soon as possible after the office next opens. Naturally this is not instant contact but we treat e-mail as a priority when the day starts!

Governance
Like charitable societies all over the world ALPN is run by a volunteer committee, whose job is to guide the organisation, secure our future and ensure that we remain within the law in all our activities.
The committee chairman is Yvonne Greir (yweir@clear.net.nz) - where the buck stops. Gwenna Finikin (our secretary) is, however, the person to whom governance questions and problems should be referred to in the first instance.
Should you wish to help out in our work by joining the committee and taking an active role in developing our plans then please approach one of them to discuss how you can help us best.
