local events
Rotorua events keep it simple — a feed by the lake, a ride through the trails, a laid-back catch up with good people. Good company first, everything else in good time.
New to the area? Life's just shifted? Keen to meet people outside your usual circle? This is for you.
You don't need to be sporty, social, or already know half the room. Every event is designed so a bloke can rock up solo and leave with a few more mates than he came with.

Welcome to your local fund
Rotorua's a close community, but that doesn't mean it's easy to break into. Bay Men's Fund — Rotorua brings blokes from across the city together.
We run events worth showing up for, and support local causes that matter to this community.
Whether you're new here, keen to meet people outside your usual circle, or just want a good reason to get out of the house — this is for you.
give for today,
and for tomorrow + 33.3% back
Your monthly donation goes entirely toward supporting causes your Bay Men's Fund cares about, split two ways.
A portion goes into the Rotorua Men's Future Fund. It's invested and left to grow, so it can keep supporting this community for good — not just this year, but every year after. The rest goes to causes this year — decided by you and your fellow members.
These local Bay Men's Funds are part of the Geyser Community Foundation, a registered charity, so you can donate with confidence. This also means your monthly membership is eligible for IRD's 33.3% tax credit, and we'll provide you a tax receipt.
