Wairarapa Anglican Maori Club Masterton This club, founded by the Rev. Hui Vercoe in 1956, was originally formed so that members could take part in the cultural competitions at the annual Anglican Hui Arohas. As well as this, they now take part in a great many local activities, accepting invitations from organisations to provide entertainment and to assist in fund-raising activities.
The club performs at the ‘Golden Shears’ competition held annually in Masterton, and for the last couple of years has also provided hangi meals for hundreds of visitors on this occasion. In 1963 it performed during the Queen's visit to the Fraser Park Shearing display. The main aims of the club are to encourage its members to retain their Maoritanga, and to welcome any visitors to the community Maori or Pakeha. There are 25 active members in the senior group, and 16 in a junior group started three years ago. Membership is open to people of all races and denominations. Practice nights are held weekly. President: The Rev. J. H. Smith, the Wairarapa Maori Pastor. Vice-president and club captain: Mrs D. Savage. Senior club leader: S. Tahana. Junior club leader: Miss Reo Walker. Secretary: Mr C. Rowlands.
