The Danish Society, Hamilton
A small club that runs an
active program for Danes and Danish descendants in the Waikato
region. A newsletter is sent regularly to members, and
occasionally there are excursions to different places around the
Waikato, visiting places or homes of members etc...
Now have their own web-site (

The Danish Society, Auckland.
The Danish Society, Hamilton enjoys good rapport with the Danish Society, Auckland which has their own building in Penrose. This is a great asset for use by all Danes that care to join in with the Danish Society, Auckland functions. It has a very fine Danish Beech dance floor, specially sprung for dancing. The Auckland Society has another property, Valhalla" near the marine reserve at Leigh, north-east of Warkworth. Members of The Danish Society, Hamilton can also book this for family and group use. ( Auckland web-site )
Festivals. The various traditional Danish festivals are always an excuse for a get together in the Waikato and we can also join in with the Danish festivities held in Auckland. | ![]() |

Manawatu Scandinavian Club &
Wellington Scandinavian Club
For anyone with a general Danish,
Viking, Scandinavian interest.
The following is for your information and does not constitute an
official Danish Society, Hamilton activity.
The Longships A
project and Links to other sites.
Did Vikings only
wander around the North Atlantic, the Baltic Sea, the North Sea,
the English Channel and Bay of Biscay, and the major European
rivers, the Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea ?
Think again. Perhaps you should visit "The Last
Viking" web pages!
Viking
Ship Project.
Wouldn't it be great to see one
or more Viking Long Ships on the Waitemata harbour and Hauraki
Gulf? I have read where the Dragon ships could
sail faster than the wind - just like they claim for the large
America's Cup yachts!
Perhaps Viking Ship enthusiasts in
Denmark, Norway, Britain and the USA could be enticed to sail (or
be transported) to New Zealand and so prove something quite
historically significant! (read
the link page). There is sufficient information to suggest
that Viking ships voyaged to NZ around the 11th century or so.
If you have some spare cash (won Lotto?), or know
how to get it! Or have the expertise or interest and would like
to be involved with such a project. Contact "Vikingskibe" The project is still just a dream,
though ideas and some drawings with data and information has been
accumulated. If you feel you have useful information, or can
contribute/participate in any way, please let us know. The
concept was to build a ship of trailer sailer size for ease of
transporting it from coastline to lake ro river. Hamilton, though
an inland city astride a navigable river, is still over an hour
by road from main ports and local lakes are part of a
hydro-electric lake system. Therefore a modern 4WD with a sturdy
boat-trailer should prove a much easier way of getting to the
main sailing locations.
