Welcome to the Sumner Redcliffs RSA
The Sumner Redliffs RSA is your friendly local community club.
Since the 2011 Christchurch earthquake when we lost our premises we have relied on the support of the Sumner Community to continue operating. We are now an even more integral part of the community, as we can be found at a variety of local premises.
Honorary Life Member of the SumnerRedcliffs RSA, Malaya veteran Bill Joines retires from the club's Executive Committee this year.
He has been club President on five occasions, having played an active role since 1972. He was a wreath bearer for every Anzac Day Parade, which he helps organise.
He will still serve on the Welfare Trust Board, to which he was appointed in 1980.
The Trust provides support to club members and various charitable organisations as well as supporting community initiatives. He has been instrumental in raising and distributing funds for this cause.
Bill has lived in Sumner for 56 years and plays in the Sumner Silver band, where he is known as “Baritone Bill”, after the euphonium type wind instrument he plays. His wife, Rawi, is also a life member of the RSA.
They play bowls regularly at the Redcliffs Bowling Club where they still enjoy a social life after 59 years of marriage! What a couple!
