We regularly perform at a variety of events – see the Gigs page for upcoming performances.
We practice every Monday from 7.00pm–9.00pm at the Auckland Bowling Club, Grafton Mews (off Stanley Street) in central Auckland. Everyone is welcome to come and observe.
Drop us an email if you plan to turn up so that we know to expect you and can tell you if there are any time or venue changes.
You will also need to bring earplugs.

Famous in the latter part of the 19th century for its balls, hunts, garden parties and musical occasions, Alberton today is renowned as one of the best places to experience authentic, gracious colonial living in New Zealand.

The objectives of the AEAC are to co-ordinate, encourage, promote and support the study, practice, appreciation and enjoyment of all forms of artistic activity, including crafts and other forms of cultural endeavour.
AEAC operates principally in the eastern areas of Auckland City Council including Remuera, Meadowbank-St Johns, Glen Innes, St Heliers-Glendowie, Kohimarama, Mission Bay, Orakei and Ellerslie. But the membership is drawn from a much wider area, including the North Shore, Waitakere and Manakau cities. Although very soon this will all be one with the new Super city.
Co-operation is encouraged with other arts and/or crafts bodies, whose activities might be outside the above areas.
]]>The interpretation of “Auckland” means both permanent and volunteer brigades within the Auckland Fire Region (2010).

Associate membership is available for those living overseas who are unable to attend meetings/workshops etc. Associate members will receive the newsletter, can attend the AGM but cannot vote or hold an official position within the Society. We also have a Brigade/Corporate membership available.
