The Rainbow Club is a social group for gay and bisexual men in the Wellington, Kapiti, Horowhenua and Manawatu regions of New Zealand.
The club meets monthly, usually in private homes of members. Gatherings are BYO pot luck dinners, BBQs, walks, garden visits, theatre, cafes, restaurants - sharing food and good company.
