Have you tried Meetup - Tauranga to see if there is a group that you are interested in?
The site does lots of other areas as well for anyone else, just do a search.

Hi there
If you are not sporting, or have any particular skills - you could always try the likes of The Lions or Rotary Clubs.
I think the suggestion of the local library/noticeboard would be good to see what societies there are about. Also the local paper. Good Luck - its hard!
Thinking about 'no particular skills', maybe there's something you'd like to be able to do, and you could find a beginners' class.
Also, check your local "newcomer's network" as they usually host some events for people new to the area - http://www.newcomers.co.nz/westernba...eofevents.html
Just thought I'd pop in to see how you were doing? Hopefully you've found something you can do and are busy making new connections!
There's quite a few things I would love to try. I'm 45 and my kids say no Mum you can't try that your to old. i.e. surfing, I would love to have a go.
Dancing, latin/american dance for beginners.
Paragliding and all that type of stuff, but alot of it is expensive so I will have to wait a while till I can save up to do them. But I will try them.
45 too old! Try telling my Mum that!
When she was 50 we did a tiki tour of the South Island and went kayaking with seals, swimming with dolphins, did the shotover jet.
She's now 60 something and when she visits in September she wants to try mountainbiking.
Never too old.
Look on Grab One for deals, I've seen surfing lessons on there and possibly blokart. And suggest them as birthday/Christmas presents.
