WHO CAN JOIN?
Anyone who is transgendered basically. Agender uses the term transgender to cover all aspects of the gender continuum.Obviously we have transgendered people but the group is for partners and families also. We also are happy to accept supporters as members.

INTERVIEW
There is an interview held (in person or by phone) with each applicant before coming to a meeting. This is to protect everybody and ensure the organization remains the friendly place it is.

Association Fee
$25.00 paid to Agender NZ


MEETINGS
The meetings are held second Saturday and are normally held at the local Co-ordinators home. They start around 7:00pm but arrangements can be made for those needing to arrive a bit early to dress. Supper is served at about 9:00 and people start leaving anytime after that, though most meetings go past midnight.

WHAT HAPPENS AT MEETINGS?
Well, it's like any other gathering of people, lots of talk, gossip and discussion and the world. Sometimes there are special events and these are identified well in advance.

WHAT DO I TAKE?
Yourself, of course, and anything you may need to dress, make-up, etc. Some members contribute a bottle of wine towards the refreshments for the evening. A contribution towards supper would also be greatly appreciated.

WHO RUNS THE GROUP?
Each area is voluntarily run by a co-ordinator, this is most likely to be a couple, usually a transgendered person and partner. As this is totally voluntary on their behalf, please respect their home and privacy. There will be a donation container on the supper table so please pop in a coin or two to help pay for the tea, coffee and heating etc.
