founding date Early meetings were held at the Beresford Tearooms. The
charter was signed by Rotary International on 6th July 1922
and on 2nd August the Board of Rotary International approved
its admission to membership as Club No. 1250. The club was much
indebted in its early days to the assistance and advice from the
Wellington and Auckland clubs. |
