Christchurch club shelves 'working men' identity in major $21m revamp
A Christchurch club is ushering in a new era with a shift in its identity and the opening of the first stage of its $21 million redevelopment.
The Hornby Club has been revamped to help ensure its future and appeal to a wider range of people, now housing a new pavilion and dining spaces, a live music venue and pool and gaming rooms.
In recent years more than half its members were over the age of 60 – though its membership is 7000-strong and growing – and the club’s managers want to reinvent it and make it more welcoming to younger people and families.
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.4% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.3% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.3% ... It is complicated
