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: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
