We enjoy a very active social life while supporting many charities (please see "Our Projects") .

Regular events include:
  • A breakfast meeting each Friday
  • A social evening on the last Friday of each month
  • An informal walking group on Saturday mornings
  • A Christmas and/or Diwali and/or Chinese New Year function
  • An annual President's Change night, a black tie occasion
  • And a new 'Guess Who Is Coming To Dinner' programme.
Other social events are frequent; in the recent past Club members have organized a Trivial Pursuits evening and an informal barbeque dinner to welcome a team of visiting Rotarians from India.

North Harbour Rotary Club boasts a healthy membership of 50+ people but more members are always welcome ...

More Information


Recognition is given by Rotary to outstanding contributions from its members by award of Paul Harris Fellowships. The Club boasts a significant number of members who have earned this distinction. Some of our members have had distinguished public lives, for example our first president, Matu Rangiuia, who has been deeply involved in Maori affairs.

Lynne Symonds, the first official woman member of Rotary, was a founding member of the Club.
