Rangiora RSA's membership up nearly 50 per cent after award-winning renovation
The award-winning renovation of the Rangiora RSA has helped boost the club's membership and attract younger patrons.
While many RSA clubs around the country are at risk of closing due to dwindling numbers and increasing overheads, RSA building committee chairman Ross Ditmer said the Rangiora club had been reinvigorated by its recent upgrade, which cost nearly $4 million.
The RSA was a chartered club, meaning anyone could become a member, and a lot of younger people in their 20s had joined, he said.
