A Christchurch sports club is outraged at plans to boot it out of its home of almost 30 years.

Rawhiti Domain has been the Christchurch Archery Club’s base since 1992, but its lease expires in June 2021​​ and a Christchurch City Council hearings panel does not want a new lease to be granted.

It has instead recommended a month-by-month lease to signal to the club it needs to find “a more appropriate and better site”.

The Waitai/Coastal-Burwood Community Board will have the final say at a meeting on Monday (July 6).

If anyone knows of someone that would have use for it please get in touch. Bottom mattress is an inner sprung one and the top one is a foam mattress. I would think you’ll need a vehicle/ trailer that’s large enough to take it all. Beds are currently disassembled so it’s an easy pick up and go.
Call on 0212942282 or 0220642552 to arrange pick up.
