We extend a warm welcome to NZSA members in Wairarapa – or with a Wairarapa connection – and invite you to join us at The Royal Hotel in Featherston on Sunday 15 June for a cuppa, cake and kōrero.

Join branch committee members and other writers for this informal meet-up. We’re keen to meet NZSA members in the Wairarapa, find out what you’re writing (and reading), and talk about how we can help connect and support writers. We’d also love to spread the word more widely about NZSA and what we do – so please invite along any writers (or readers or booksellers!) who may be interested.

Free event, all welcome. Light refreshments provided.

Join us for the first of what we hope will be many Wairarapa meet-ups!

Date: Sunday 15 June 2025
