Vista
15 September 2015
Kapiti residents showed
their support for the new Club Vista on the Paraparumu Beach
waterfront with more than 250 signing up as new members
during an open day special offer on Sunday.
The Club –
formed by an amalgamation between Kapiti Club and
Paraparaumu RSA - says the response was overwhelming with
people queuing to fill in membership forms.
“Staff had
to keep on printing more applications to keep up with demand
and we have never seen anything like it,” the club says.
The membership special offer of $20 per person was only
open for the day and attracted all age groups and many
families.
A week earlier the Governor General and Mayor of
Kapiti had unveiled the new name of the club and the first
new Club Vista signage has begun to be
installed.

This is because it is going to be implemented earlier and faster, including retrospective rebates from April 2023. More
“The new Government’s plan to expand oil and gas exploration is as dangerous as it is unscientific. Whatever you think about the new government, there is simply no mandate to trash the climate. We need to come together to stop them,” says James Shaw. More
MFAT's decision to remove te reo from correspondence before new Ministers are sworn in risks undermining the important progress the public sector has made in honouring te Tiriti. "We are very disappointed in what is a backward decision - it simply seems to be a Ministry bowing to the racist rhetoric we heard on the election campaign trail," says Marcia Puru. More
