Auckland Branch 2025 - Meeting dates

Here are the details for our 2025 branch meetings. We have some interesting speakers booked so please put the dates in your diary. More details will be published on the website and in the newsletter, closer to the function date. Note that the AGM is in the Fickling Centre this year. This maybe closer than our usual venue at Western Springs. If it is, it would be lovely to see some new faces !

 

Auckland Branch AGM – Tuesday, 10 June 2025

We have invited Tammy McLeod to talk to members about:

Trusts and Enduring Powers of Attorney

 Tammy McLeod is the Managing Director of Davenports Law. Her topic will be ‘Reasons for and against Trusts, Recent Changes to Trust Laws, and why we all need Enduring Powers of Attorney.’

 Tammy McLeod leads the Trust Law and Wealth Protection team at Davenports Law. A trust and asset structuring specialist with over 25 years legal experience, Tammy specialises in the areas of personal asset planning, trust law and the Property (Relationships) Act.

 It is being held at the Fickling Centre, 546 Mt Albert Road, Three Kings,1042. The centre is located near the junction of Mt Albert Road and Mt Eden Road on Three Kings Reserve and is co-located with the Mt Roskill Library. There is free parking outside.

Please bring your spouse or a guest along and register attendees/apologies with our Secretary, Andrea by calling 0800 888 472 or emailing auckland@gsa.org.nz  


 

Auckland Branch Meeting – Tuesday 23 September 2025

Please come along and hear Jude Dobson speak about her book:

THE LAST SECRET AGENT

 Jude Dobson has been researching/writing, producing and directing WWI and WWII content for nearly 10 years. She won the New York Radio Awards Bronze Award in 2023 in the historical documentary category, for an Anzac Day audio documentary about WWII aviators telling their stories. Join us as Jude talks about writing Pippa Latour’s account of her courageous role as a special agent, working behind enemy lines in Normandy in the month leading up to D Day. Following the war, Pippa settled in New Zealand where she raised four children. For decades, Pippa told no one - not even her family - of her incredible feats during WWII. Pippa finally chose Jude to tell her story and they formed a close bond before Pippa's death in 2023, at the age of 102.

 We return to the refurbished Western Springs Garden Community Hall 2, 956 Great North Road, Western Springs,1022 for this meeting and commence at 10.30am with morning tea. There is free parking at this venue. Please bring your spouse or a guest along and register attendees with our Secretary, Andrea by calling 0800 888 472 or emailing auckland@gsa.org.nz
