October 2026 Newsletter

Oct 2026

It's time once again to stick on the jug, rip open a packet of biscuits, find your favourite chair or place to perch, and read our October 2026 newsletter... which is now ready to view online.

Thank you to those members who entered last month's Smoko Puzzle competition, especially to those who sent in emails with nice messages such as this one from Port Hills Truck Centre:

Thanks for these puzzles – one marketing email I’m actually happy to see in the inbox! And the bird theme this time round was excellent.

It may feel like you're sending your entries into the void, but rest assured I do read them. The winner of the Smoko Puzzle, who will receive 10,000 Blackfern Reward Points, and a promo pack from Fully Promoted is revealed in the newsletter. Be sure to check this month's newsletter to see if you're the lucky winner!

If you missed out, don't worry, we have another Smoko Puzzle competition this month.

We also had loads of entries for the BeltTech draw, with the final draw being this month (a huge thank you to BeltTech NZ for giving away 3 $200 Prezzy Cards).

Please enjoy the October Blackfern newsletter. To see the full version of the newsletter you will need to sign in, as some pricing is sensitive and for members' eyes only. Or, to be signed in automatically, follow this link:
