Te Ropu Maori o Hoani Christchurch This club was first formed in 1961. Its aims are: (1) To foster the revival of the Maori language, art and customs. (2) To strengthen and widen friendships with members of other similar clubs. (3) To assist existing Maori organisations in every way (for example, to help with the fund-raising campaign for the projected Maori Community Centre in Christchurch). The club is an Anglican one, but membership is open to people of all denominations. Most members are Maori, but there are also some Pakeha members. In 1961 and 1962 the club participated in the Maori Convention held on the marae at Tuahiwi, which proved a great success. Later it went on two Mission visits to the West Coast and Temuka, giving concerts while there. Last year, some members attended the Hui Topu at Ngaruawahia, which they found of great interest. This year there are 34 financial members. Financial membership is 10s a year, though this is not compulsory. Money from this source, together with donations given by various organisations for which the club has performed, goes towards the purchasing of club equipment. Meetings are held at St. John's Hall, Latimer Square. Practice nights are held on Mondays from 7.30 p.m. to 9.30 p.m., and before this, from 6 p.m. to 7.30 p.m., there are classes in the Maori language. General meetings are held on the first Wednesday in every month. President: Mrs H. Whisker. Secretary and Leader: Mrs R. Mackie, 75 Rahera Street, Spreydon.
