This is a fine weather mixed ability cycling group.  The starting point for each ride will vary and members are emailed several days in advance with all the information. Occasionally we will venture out of town, for example to Rotorua or Waikato river trails. Rides normally begin at 9:30 am, are between 20 km and 30 km for about 2 hrs. So join in the rides and assist with ideas of places to cycle. E-bikers welcome. We stop for coffee at the end. Ring Bruce to join or check the venue.

We provide fitness and fellowship for members who enjoy exploring our great outdoors.  We use Regional Parks, forest, beaches, lakes and areas of outstanding interest.  A good level of fitness is required and hikes can be 4 hours plus in length. We usually have lunch during the hike and stop at a cafe on the way home. Group has a Personal Locator Beacon.

We enjoy the company, safety and fun of hiking together in a group to explore our beautiful area. Hikes are usually within an hour of Tauranga in forest parks or along river trails and coastal tracks. Typically 4-5 hours in length the hikes require good fitness. We need boots, hiking poles are recommended and we must follow health and safety requirements. We take snacks and lunch and enjoy a cafe stop on the way home. Group has a Personal Locator Beacon.

The group has decided that the walks will be 2-3 hrs long. The group meets at the car pooling site at 9:00 for a 9:30 am departure. Hiking up to 1 hour radius of Tauranga and often ending with a coffee or light lunch, depending on the location of the hike

Relaxed social walks for about 1 hour, including easier bush walks in the general Katikati area, car sharing encouraged. Walks end with a coffee stop

This is a relaxed, social group for members who like to walk for 1-2 hours on easier terrain than the Hikers, followed by morning tea and a social chat.  Car sharing is encouraged. Please contact the convener if you would like to try out this group.

Welcome to hatha yoga where our popular tutor guides us in poses involving stretching, breathing and relaxation, so we feel refreshed physically and mentally. We practice a variety of poses to improve our balance, flexibility, circulation, bone density, sleep and energy levels, and to relieve stress. We participate at a level we are comfortable with, whether beginners or more experienced. As befits a U3A group, we are also introduced to some wider aspects of yoga to increase our awareness and mindfulness in today’s restive world.

We now have 2 yoga groups
