Body: <p>In the absence of a "users" mailing list where I would normally post this, I'm based in New Zealand, and I'm looking for New Zealand-based end-users or administrators of CiviCRM happy to share some experiences off-list about how well (or not) it's working. I am absolutely not interested in talking to any vendors or consultants, only folks who are actually using and supporting it in house (either hosted on on-premises).</p>
  
  <p>Ideally your organisation would be at the medium end of the size scale (at least in NZ terms). Any experiences at all though would be welcome appreciated.</p>
  
  <p>If any folks out there are keen please let me know.</p>
  
  <p>Cheers,
  Dave</p>
