The future of the Hibiscus Coast Community RSA at its site in Vipond Road site will again go to the vote at the organisation’s next annual meeting in September.
In February, at an Extraordinary General Meeting members were presented with options that included staying at the Vipond Road clubrooms and changing the operating model, moving to a new location, or amalgamating with other clubs.
The majority vote was to stay, and change the operating model. In this month’s newsletter, president David Newman reiterated that the club remains “at grave risk”. He said unless the RSA starts to make a profit, or at least contains its losses to interest earned on its investment, the writing is on the wall. “The end for us will come in 5-8 years if we continue with the current losses which have been around and largely ignored for well over a decade,” he said.
A report by a sub-committee is being circulated to members this month, looking at the options.
