Also Rotary came to New Zealand in 1921 with the founding of clubs in Auckland and Wellington.   The Rotary Club of Christchurch followed soon after, in 1922.   There were 43 members on the Charter  list when it closed on 22nd April 1922, which the club regards as its 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.
