We are much more than a club, we are a community.
Started in 1975 our founders set out to create a place in Southland that the hard of hearing could get together and form trusting relationships, enjoy activities and communication through sign.
We also have 3 loyal life members: Graham Lines, Nicky Pollock, Lorraine Davoren that have been part of the club since day 1 and deserve a special mention.
