Christchurch club shelves 'working men' identity in major $21m revamp

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

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.
