Waipu Informal Genealogy Group

Waipu thistle

(This is an unofficial page for this group)

 

The group meets on the fourth Monday of each month, February to November.  If the fourth Monday is a public holiday, they meet either the week before or the week after, depending on how the calendar works out that month.  Contact the group if you want to confirm the date of any meeting.

 

Annual membership to the group is $25.00 in 2015.  New members are asked to complete a membership form.

 

The group meets at the Caledonian Society rooms on St Mary's Road, Waipu.  Meetings usually begin at 11am and run through to around 2 or 3pm, depending on what is happening that day.  There is a break for lunch around midday; usually everyone brings their own lunch, on days when there is a guest speaker each person brings a plate each for a shared lunch.

 

The group has a relationship with the New Zealand Society of Genealogists Inc (NZSG).

I am the NZSG Area Contact for Waipu (click here to contact me as the NZSG Waipu Area Contact).
