Upcoming Grey Power Upper Hutt Social Meetings
Grey Power Upper Hutt (“GPUH”) is currently engaging with Upper Hutt City Council, ensuring the voice of older persons in the Upper Hutt community is being heard. GPUH’s Local Government Grey Power sub-Committee, is actively working with Upper Hutt Senior Net hoping to establish an Older Persons network in the Upper Hutt Community.
Due to GPUH’s local engagement with UHCC we have been asked to organise a meeting of Older Persons to discuss and give comment on the UHCC Annual Plan 2025/2026. The Meeting will be held on Wednesday April 2, 1.30pm at the Upper Hutt Baptist Church. Afternoon Tea will be provided.
Our April Social Meeting (16 April at 1.30pm) has as Guest Speaker, David Galt, Managing Director, Mowbray Collectables. He will discuss and show guests, several interesting coins, stamps, banknotes and medals in a PowerPoint presentation. David will also be able to demonstrate how members can move unwanted items on and how you can have the items valued.
I also wish to advise all current GPUH Financial Members, that our ANNUAL General Meeting will be held Wednesday 21 May 2025 at 1.30pm at our new meeting venue, Upper Hutt Baptist Church corner of Fergusson Drive and Milton Street.
