The following is helpful information about the process.

Why do we have to fuss about a constitution?

There has been an international problem about people setting up false community groups, sometimes charities, sometimes community groups, through which they have laundered money made from drug selling etc.

So to prevent this they have passed a law in 2022 which demanded certain ways of behaving in an incorporated society to prevent such dubious uses.

A government department, MBIE, (I am not sure what the initials stand for) designed a online tool to help us write our constitution.

A .pdf version 5  is available  on the Newsletters page.
A .doc version is available by clicking Constitution below.

Tawa U3A is a group of people who are free during the day to gather for activities of interest.

We organise courses to teach subjects of interest like Art , Ancestry or Ukulele.

There are Discussion groups where you can express your point of view, and games both indoor and outdoor.

Talks are arranged on topics of interest like Health, History or Travel. We cooperate with other U3A groups and share sessions.

All up, we offer more than 40 learning and social opportunities at minimal cost.

You are certain to find some things that are of interest to you.
