A Brief History
Established in 1917The Palmerston North RSA is a memorial to men and women who have served their country. Members have served in WW2, Korea, Malaysia, Vietnam and more recently in Bosnia, East Timor, Afghanistan and with many peacekeeping forces throughout the modern world.The membership is complemented by a growing number of Associate Members. Originally located on the corner of Cuba and George Streets, the shift to 200 Broadway Avenue took place to accommodate more members. The late 1980’s and 1994 saw the clubrooms rebuilt to provide modern facilities. The 1999 building programme catered for the demands of its increasing membership and diverse activities. In keeping with our ‘People Helping People’ Motto, the activities of the RSA actively promote assistance in the local community to senior citizens, local schools, and other non profit organisations and to all members of the Association. The Palmerston North RSA offers all members many facilities and activities in a secure and safe modern environment. |
