Volunteers/Subscriptions

U3A Hibiscus Coast is entirely run by volunteers. Our Group Convenors and our Management Committee are all volunteers. Many of our meetings are held in the Pohutukawa Room at the Whangaparaoa Library, and in other local venues. Our fees are  low: $35 per person per year, or $60 for a couple per year. For this members can join any or all of our 27 groups, some of which meet fortnightly and some monthly. Some of us also meet to watch a recently released movie or go on field trips

Monthly Schedule of Groups

Please note that Cinematique and the Short Film Group meet when there is a film to watch or a film under production. Click the Group Descriptors button above to find information about each group. It would pay to check with the convenor first if you are new to a group because times can change according to room availability.
