Marlborough is located near the top of the South Island just south of Picton, with Blenheim being the main township. We enjoy year-round sunshine, spectacular scenery, a plethora of activities - air, land, and water-based, a huge range of cuisine and beverages, and an awesome group of members. Marlborough's group members have a diverse range of administrative skills from differing professions. If you would like to share and network with some like-minded people then why not come along to the next meeting, or join us at one of our seminars.
Marlborough Group meet on the first Wednesday each month, usually held at NMIT in Budge Street (our grateful thanks to NMIT for the use of their facilities). We gather at 5.30pm for networking opportunities and housekeeping, with the main event commencing at 6pm.
A small fee of $7 for members and $10 for guests is charged to cover the cost of the meeting, e.g. refreshments, venue, speaker’s gift. Check out our up and coming events.
As well as increasing your knowledge, meetings provide an opportunity to gain new friendships with others who appreciate your day-to-day challenges. Fun, support and encouragement are key components of our group.
Members enjoy a variety of library items including international and national magazines and books. Members receive a e-newsletter, which is published before each monthly meeting.
We have a very supportive pool of sponsors and encourage all members to support them at every opportune time. Purchasing discounts are also offered at some local outlets.
