Arai-te-Uru Maori Club Dunedin There are about 30 regular members of this group. Most are Maoris, but there are also Pakehas, Australians, Indonesians and Lebanese. The club has no religious affiliations. Members learn Maori cultural activities: poi, action songs, hakas, stick games and waiata. They have their own piupiu and other equipment. Concerts are given from time to time to raise funds for the Maori Community Centre it is hoped to build; this is planned as a cultural centre and meeting-place to be used by all Dunedin Maoris, and also by Pakeha residents. The club already possesses the section on which the centre is to be built. They also give their services free of charge on many occasions, such as at civic welcomes and at charity performances. The club meets every Sunday from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the National Party Rooms, High Street, Dunedin. New members are always welcome. President, Mr Witora Duff; Secretary, Mrs Diana Parsons, 25 District Road, Macandrew Bay.
