RRRLSC Building update – January Flood damage
 
Due to the January 2023 floods our beloved clubroom has suffered serious damage to its interior.  For Health and Safety reasons the Richmond Board of Directors have opted to enforce its temporary closure.
 
To provide you all with an update, our insurance claims have been submitted and we are now awaiting approval.
 
Approval of all claims is expected within the next two weeks where we can then provide you with a more accurate timeline on when our doors will re-open.
 
Repairs will be done to all interior floors, walls and not to forget, the best rugby league tuckshop in Auckland!
 
We would like to once again take this opportunity to extend our heartfelt thank you to all who helped with the working bee. READ MORE
