Our meeting place - Bucklands Beach Yacht Club - with Bucklands Beach and nearby Islands in the background.

Our Club was Chartered in 1976 and currently has a membership of 15 made up of both men and women . Our Club's focus is mainly on the local community where we aim to help enrich the lives of our residents through the support of local projects, schools, senior citizens and with a very strong bias to youth related programmes particulary in the fields of health & education. We also support District and International initiatives as well as the Lions Diabetes Eye Care Project in Fiji.

Our major activities include supporting of the Youth Activities of the Bucklands Beach Yacht Club through joint fundraising effort, our firewood project which produces around 40 trailer loads each year. We also fund prescription eyeglasses for underprivilaged children through Kidz First Hospital and help maintain the Kidz First Healing Garden at Middlemore Hospital and regular fundraising BBQs at The Warehouse. We also organise the Zone's Annual Young Ambassador Award Project. We are currently supporting a Pest Free eradication programme in our area in an effort to free the area from rats and possums and promote the bird life in our area.

We support two Leo Clubs - Bucklands Beach Intermediate (a school based Club) and Bucklands Beach Leo Club (a Community based Club) as well as the District's Youth Development projects.
