About Us
Statement of Purpose
The purpose of the Manawatu County Club is to benefit the community by providing a non-political, non-sectarian, participative venue for women where the emphasis is on social and intellectual activities that enhance the well-being of its members.
The Manawatu County Club Inc was established in November 1928 following a meeting of town and country women the previous month to discuss the formation of a women's club. The Club provided a venue, open six days a week, where women could participate in social activities, meet friends and take a break from shopping It was particularly beneficial for women from the country. During its many years of operation, the Club has extended its range of activities, which members now enjoy, in premises which were purchased by the Club in 1992.
The Club is governed by a Management Committee with Secretarial support provided by an Office Administrator. Within the Club are many interest Groups, each of which are managed by committees, led by a Convenor. The Groups develop their own annual program of activities within the Club. All members are encouraged to belong to Groups, which hold special interest for them. There is also a program of key annual events and two luncheons are held at the Club each month.
The Club welcomes new members and encourages everyone to participate in the range of programs offered. Members contribute dynamic and innovative ideas to improve programs and develop exciting new ones ensuring the Club continues to meet the varied interests of its expanding and diverse membership.
