Established in the Manawatū in 2000. University of the Third Age (U3A): a community of older people who seek a greater understanding of life. Taps the reservoir of knowledge, skills and experience of older people through self-help learning. Provides opportunities for reading, research, discussions and field trips. The atmosphere for learning is informal and friendly. There are no compulsory activities or examinations. Costs are minimal.

We meet in small learning groups (usually less than 15 people). We currently have over 30 interest groups. Each group has a coordinator who organises and oversees the group. Groups meet in members’ homes, in libraries, art galleries or other spaces. You may join as many groups as you like (there are waiting lists for some groups). Sometimes we go on visits, for example to art galleries, museums.

In addition to the groups we usually run two seminar series each year with themes of general interest.

Manawatū Amateur Radio Society (MARS), call sign ZL2KO, was established to promote the hobby of private individuals to communicate by radio. We are Branch 20 of the New Zealand Association of Radio Transmitters (NZART).

We have our own clubrooms, we meet every month, and produce a regular newsletter. If you would like to learn a new skill and have some fun, please come along to a meeting as a visitor – gents, ladies or youngsters of any age are welcome – and see what we do. We run training courses to help you gain your licence, and every year have a sales day for buying and selling second-hand equipment.

An important part of our activities is supporting Search and Rescue through AREC (Amateur Radio Emergency Communications – see www.zl2ko.org.nz/arec/).
 
Amateur Radio, also known as “ham radio”, is about experimenting and communicating, using not only radio, but a range of technologies including satellites, the Internet and even beams of light! In New Zealand, hams are licensed by Radio Spectrum Management (RSM). Once licensed, an amateur can operate two-way radio equipment from home, from vehicles and from anywhere in New Zealand and, in many cases, when overseas too. The possibilities are endless, from sending TV pictures and operating through amateur radio satellites, to just having a quiet chat with friends at a distance.
