Seeking people with any connection to the Isle of Man
I am part of a social group called Waikato/Bay of Plenty Manx Club.
So often NZers associate our group as being connected to the breeding of the Manx cat originating from the Isle of Man (IOM), when in fact we are a group of friendly people either of Manx birth or of Manx descent who meet socially about 4-5 times through the year. We do extend membership to people who are also interested in the Isle of Man, those that have visited there or people who like to follow TTs for instance.
Our get-togethers usually consist of a mid-day meal together in Hamilton (sometimes pot-luck) and at some of these events we also have a guest speaker. In July we celebrate the event for the open parliament day on the IOM called Tynwald Day, a system that has been in existence for over 1000 years. Earlier this year we had a mystery bus trip for our members.
If anyone is interested I can send details for our upcoming Christmas get-together which will be on first Saturday in December (5th). There is a cost for the meal for this luncheon.
