Give us a sign


A plea for direction was made at Rodney Local Board last month, when Mahurangi East Bowling Club asked members for a road sign to show people the way to their greens.

Club captain Gary Gibson said the club had around 250 members and also shared the premises with a petanque group and fishing club, but visitors had trouble finding them.

“We recently hosted a ladies Lions Club session and 61 per cent of them didn’t know we were down Hamatana Road,” he said. “Could we put a sign up on the main road or by the police station to indicate where the bowling club is?”

Gibson added that the Mahurangi East Library and Community Centre had a similar issue and were willing to share signage with the club.

Rodney community broker Sue Dodds said she had already had conversations with all three groups and was keen to solve the problem.

“There’s no reason we can’t do what you’re after. It just might take a little while,” she said.
