The Club’s membership now stands over a hundred financial members!
A Mad Hatters evening is planned for the Club’s Monthly meeting. People are asked to wear their silliest hats (or their wifes!) to win a prize. Anyone arriving without a hat will have to pay a fine. The MC will be Ken Brain.
An upcoming bus trip to Whangarei for a social and dance has been organised, leaving on Saturday 10am, returning on Sunday.
The Hamilton Deaf Club’s 6th birthday celebrations were held on 26 May 1962. Over fifty of our members visited Hamilton to wish them a happy birthday!
