Good news for Greytown rugby
One of New Zealand’s oldest rugby clubs may see out next season on its traditional home turf after a u-turn from its landlord, a local community trust.
Greytown Rugby Club, formed in 1876, has played for most of that time at East St, near the town centre. And a decision by landlord, Greytown Trust Lands Trust to treat the ground as a reserve may now extend their stay.
The trust has given the club a 100 per cent rent grant to March 2021, and is in talks with the club about its future.
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.
