Christchurch Branch President Dave Adamson
Welcome to the Christchurch branch of the New Zealand China Friendship Society.
The Christchurch Branch meets at 7.30pm on the last Thursday of each month (except December -January) at Rewi Alley Education and Cultural Centre, 39 Matipo Street, Riccarton, Christchurch.. Meetings are usually educational talks about Chinese culture, education, travel in China, or recent developments followed by a social supper hour.
We have good relations with the Chinese associations in Christchurch and some of their members often attend our meetings.
The Christchurch Branch supports the city’s link with Gansu Province and Wuhan City and often entertains visitors and students from that part of China. We also support the special projects established by Rewi Alley in China: the Shandan Bailie School and the Gung Ho Cooperatives. Each year we make a donation to support the Rewi Alley Academy here in Christchurch. We hold an end of year prizegiving in collaboration with the CPIT for Students learning Chinese in Christchurch.
