The RSA is one of the world’s oldest ex-service organisations. It was formed in 1916 to care for the needs of soldiers returning from WW1 and to assist the families of those soldiers who lost their lives.

The NZRSA has a strong loyalty to the Crown, the nation, and the community.

With a current total membership of over 130,000, RSA’s offer friendship, goodwill and fellowship.

The organisation supports personnel who have previously served or are currently serving in our Armed Forces , as well as sworn members of the New Zealand Police.

The RSA is a service organisation, with a responsibility to support all who have served their country, irrespective of whether or not they are members of the RSA.

The Howick RSA is at the heart of the community.  We have a welfare officer to assist where needed and it is a meeting place for community involvement.  It’s a great place to meet old friends and make new ones, listen to great music and dance.

Remembering the past and embracing the future.

 

The Club offers an abundance of facilities to its members and their guests:

  • Restaurant and bar snacks
  • Music and entertainment
  • Sky multichannel tv for all your favourite sports
  • Sports clubs
