Boat club sets $5.5m target for clubhouse rebuild Takapuna Boating Club is launching a massive fundraising drive to restore its landmark Bayswater clubhouse. Club president Barry Ward is confident a successful campaign can be mounted to bring the heritage wooden building back to life as a community focal point.
“The place will be restored – we have to put together $5.5 million to do the job properly,” he told the Observer. “It should be a real addition to the neighbourhood and the whole North Shore.” A campaign launch will be held on 26 March to detail the club’s plans to members,
sponsors, stakeholders and supporters. Asked what the prospects were of raising such a large sum, Ward said there had been a lot of interest in the building from community members and potential tenants who might set up a hospitality business. To page 2
