Mangawhai Heads Volunteer Lifesaving

Wintle Street, Mangawhai Heads
PO Box 30 Mangawhai 0540

Email: mangawhaisurfclub@xtra.co.nz

Whats On
28th December - Annual Door Knock

The Surf Life Saving season at Mangawhai Heads begins at Labour Weekend and volunteer lifeguards will be on patrol during the weekend and public holidays until Easter 2019.

If you are interested in becoming a club member, or a lifeguard, or want to register your family for Junior Surf, email mangawhaisurfclub@xtra.co.nz

We're constantly working towards lowering New Zealand's drowning rate and with patrols now coming to an end, we ask that people take responsibility for their own safety when around the water.

When swimming at an unpatrolled beach, we encourage  beach-goers to adhere to a few simple rules. Be prepared, watch out for yourself and others, be aware of the dangers and know your limits.

- Always keep an eye on children in the water
- Get a friend to swim with you- never swim or surf alone
- Watch out for that rip… rips are calm patches of water that can sometimes have waves breaking to the side.

Rippled, discoloured or foamy water with debris can also mean there is a rip present.
Volunteer weekend patrols begin again at Labour Weekend in October.

For enquiries email mangawhaisurfclub@xtra.co.nz

Zonta Of Mangawhai

P: 027 555 6636
E: mangawhai@zonta.org.nz
W: www.zonta.org

'Zonta says no' campaign
November 25 to December 10. 

Decorated in brilliant orange, one of Mangawhai’s significant trees and an old, wire farming fence are playing their part in an annual worldwide crusade, which aims to spotlight the impact and devastation of family violence.  The Villages large oak outside the Library Hall has received the characteristic ‘knit-bomb’, and the Molesworth causeway fence is pegged with a long line of spray-painted orange footwear. 

The shoes are to demonstrate how everyone is affected by family violence. They represent those who have been victims of domestic violence, mostly women and children, but there are also men’s shoes there too. This year Zonta’s campaign is also focusing on child marriage, one of ‘the worst obstacles girls are facing globally and a severe human right’s violation. 

Launched in 2012, the Zonta campaign raises awareness of the plight of women and girls rights violations, which the organisation describe as ‘a worldwide pandemic’. Zonta clubs are encouraged to conduct ‘impacting advocacy actions’ to help influence laws as well as help change gender-based attitudes, gender inequality and to put a stop to violence towards women.
(Julia Wade)

Interested in being a part of this dynamic organisation and making a difference or want to know more? Go to Zonta Club of Mangawhai on Facebook or visit
