Marlborough Maori Community Club Blenheim Founded in 1961, this group has 40 financial members. Membership is open to Maoris and Pakehas, and there are a number of active Pakeha members. The club is concerned with Maori culture and with welfare activities. Members undertake regular hospital visiting, donations are made to charitable organisations, and assistance is given to Maori families in need of this. The group has acted as host to many North Island groups travelling through Blenheim, the most recent being a party from St. Stephen's College, and the Whakarewarewa Concert Party. Meetings, social evenings and Maori language classes are each held monthly, tutors for the language classes being Messrs F. Skinner, R. Nehemia and L. MacDonald. The president is Mr Hugh MacDonald, the secretary Mrs Kate Mason, and the treasurer Mr Hugh Roberts. It is hoped eventually to build a Maori community centre building near Blenheim.
