The Hibiscus Coast RSA’s annual meeting, on September 15, will present members with an opportunity to decide the long-term future of the club.
Its ongoing financial losses have repeatedly put the local RSA in the position of having to contemplate changes.
A confidential document called Options for a Sustainable Financial Future has been circulated to members ahead of the meeting. It includes the options that a sub-committee, set up to look at the issues, has come up with. They include staying at the Vipond Road facility, merging with another local club, relocating to a different space, altering or rebuilding the existing facility, and changing the operating model. Some of those choices were put to the membership at an Extraordinary General Meeting in February and the majority at that time voted to stay and change the operating model.
President David Newman has since said that something has to change as, if current losses continue, “the end could come in 5-8 years”.
