Founded in 1969, we are an all-women club based in the Waikato. We pride ourselves on being a place Waikato women can come together to build friendships, connect, share, learn and engage.
We meet once a month over lunch at the Hamilton Gardens Lakeside cafe, to hear a speaker and renew friendships.
The club is named for the magnificent Waikato River which runs through the middle of Kirikirioa, Hamilton and the heart of the Waikato. Awatere means flowing river in te reo Maori.
We aim to increase our knowledge and widen our interests. We achieve this by providing stimulating presentations and discussions that foster community and world understanding and enjoying each other’s companionship and exchanging ideas.
We are taking on new members so please join us to meet new friends and hear from our amazing speakers.
