Wellington Shell Club

The Wellington Shell Club is for anyone interested in shell collecting or conchology. 

The club has monthly meetings at different locations in the greater Wellington region and makes field trips all over New Zealand. We issue a monthly newsletter and an annual publication, Cookia.  Every fourth year the Club runs the biennial New Zealand Shell Show.

Anyone interested in shells (both land and sea) from New Zealand or overseas is welcome to join our club. 

We welcome you to e-mail us with any queries about New Zealand shells or to discuss shells generally.


What's the Best About Our Club?

The people in the club are friendly and outgoing people who enjoy a good walk along the beach and sharing their knowledge and experiences about shells.
