Marist Marist Netball, as it is now known, has been a force in the Manawatu Netball scene for over half a century. Originally called St. Joseph's Old Girls (coached by Betty Steffenson) and later named Convent Old Girls, it became Marist in 1987. However, the club's players continue to wear the traditional black and white colours that are symbolic of the catholic Sisters of Mercy Order. This Order made a huge contribution to both primary and secondary education in New Zealand including Palmerston North from the 1920's until 1987 when the last nun (Sr Clare Vaughan) was farewelled at St Peter's College. The Sisters passed on their love of netball to all the girls in their charge and thus created a foundation for Marist Netball and kindred clubs throughout the country. 

Probably the best years of Marist Netball were in the 80’s when the club had a dozen or more teams playing each season. However as was the trend of the times, when other sports became popular, the number of teams dropped away. However, we currently field 12 teams from Premier grades through to Social.

PNTMC was formed in December 1965 by a group of enthusiastic trampers and mountaineers, with its first trip to Field Hut in the Tararuas on the 6th February 1966. Since then the Club has grown and currently has around 70 members.

Our aims include organising tramping and/or climbing trips each weekend, fostering the interaction of people with a common enthusiasm for the outdoors and facilitating members to develop skills necessary for safe and self-sufficient travel in forest and alpine environments. For many years, the Club had a hut (Rangi Hut) situated just above the bush line on the western side of the Ruahine Ranges. The current hut is now owned and managed by the Department of Conservation. A display board in this hut records PNTMC’s association with the area. In 2012 the club entered into a management agreement with DOC to provide support and strategic advice regarding Rangi Hut and to take over maintenance of Ngamoko and Mid-Pohangina Huts, in the Ruahine Forest Park.

The Club is an affiliated member of the Federation of Mountain Clubs of New Zealand (FMC) as we believe it is important to have an effective lobby group acting on behalf of our members at a national level.

Palmerston North Brass Band is the oldest organisation in Palmerston North, technically pre-dating Palmerston North City itself! Established in 1868, we have been providing entertainment to Palmerston North residents for over 150 years.

We play a wide range of music, from classical, traditional brass band pieces, right through to arrangements of pop songs. We get involved in community events as frequently as possible, and you may have seen us at Relay for Life, Anzac Day services, Explore Esplanade Days, in the Christmas Parade, or just popping up for a spontaneous performance around town!

In addition to our brass band, we also facilitate lessons for anyone who wants to learn a brass instrument and run an 'academy band' for learners to try playing in a band setting without the pressure of being in a full band.

Our group was founded in 1947 and is affiliated with the New Zealand Rose Society (Inc). Our motto is to implant the roses in the hearts and gardens of the people of New Zealand. We do this by sharing information and knowledge on how to grow good roses in the Manawatū region. This is done through our newsletter and other publications, meetings with guest speakers and demonstrations and visits to gardens and other places of interest. Members also have a wide range of other garden interests besides roses so they are also incorporated into our events.

Menzshed Manawatu was formed in 2011. It exists primarily for retired men to share their experiences and skills while working on a variety of projects – at this stage mainly woodworking. While men are welcome to work on projects for themselves, a lot of the satisfaction comes from being part of community projects – often  providing something  to assist another community group to carry out their work.

At the heart of the Menzshed philosophy is men’s health and welfare, and the Shed gives them a “happy place”. Although access to tools may be a drawcard, companionship is what keeps members attending. The Shed reminds men that they are not alone, and that although their days of paid employment may be over, there can still be reasons to get out of bed in the morning, and have fun and fellowship at the same time.
