The Rainbow Wellington AGM has been arranged for Wednesday 4th April, at 6 pm. As before it will take place in the Council

Chambers of Wellington Town Hall, courtesy of our Patron, Celia Wade-Brown, Mayor of Wellington.

A more detailed agenda will follow. The AGM is of course the occasion when we elect and re-elect Board members. We are always on the lookout for new Board members, to bring new ideas as to how we can function better, so please consider this.

Over the last few months the Board has been considering the role of RW and what we should be doing as an organisation. In particular our new status as a registered charity has caused us to look anew at our objectives. We are also aware that we need to clarify what we are and what we stand for, in order to build up a larger membership.

The objects of the organisation as listed in our constitution at:
http://www.rainbowwellington.org.nz/aboutus.asp#constitution have been little changed over the years, and therefore mostly date back to the early years of GAP, when the group had a rather different emphasis from the one it has now. We have therefore been considering revising these objects. As this is a part of ourconstitution, any change has to be approved by a General Meeting, and we intend to achieve this at the AGM on April 4th. But before we do this, we thought it best to circulate our proposals in draft form first, which we now do. Any questions or suggestions would be very useful for us before we send out the final proposed constitutional amendment nearer the date of the AGM. So please read our draft objects below, and send any comments to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. .


Proposed new Objects clause Rainbow Wellington is a non-profit association that aims to communicate with and educate the community at large on lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (lgbti) issues by:

1. Promoting a strong and positive sense of community for members of lgbti communities, in particular but not exclusively for those who are members ofRainbow Wellington, by encouraging social interaction and co-ordinating events of interest to them.
2. Offering support and encouragement to members of lgbti communities affected by discrimination and prejudice, and pursuing redress of discriminatory issues by engaging in public debate on such issues so that all those in lgbti communities enjoy the human rights available to all New Zealand citizens.
3. Providing financial assistance through grants and donations for individuals and groups undertaking specific activities that advance the causes of lgbti people.
4. Affiliating with and offering support to other organisation pursuing objectives consistent with those of Rainbow Wellington.
