Royal Oak Racquets Club

Fairy line magic ✨️✨️✨️

Today, 5 squash fairies visited and sprinkled their magic. The woodland court floors are now ready for more training and battles within the Oak!

Living Villages are one of our caro Bowl Sponsors for this upcoming season :

Confused by ORAs, DMFs and all the retirement village jargon?

Wondering whether a village will support you all the way if you ever need care in the future?

Do you have lots of questions and just want honest, no-nonsense answers?

Moving to a retirement village can feel overwhelming, with so many questions to ask and so many different people to talk to.

That’s why Remuera Gardens is bringing all the experts together in one place, making the process easier and helping you find the answers you need in one afternoon.

Join them on Saturday 20th June at 57 Richard Farrell Avenue for a Design Your Next Chapter seminar — a relaxed opportunity to speak with a financial adviser, lawyer, downsizing and moving specialists, interior designer, their village and care teams, plus local Remuera businesses that can help make life a little easier.

Please feel free to bring your family along too, so they can have all their questions answered as well.

Note: It will be a trial night before we put on a official one later on in June at an earlier time for the kids.

So if you're down at the club and want to watch a movie, bring a blanket or cushion, steal a bean bag form the lounge and come enjoy.

We are delighted to share with all our members and visitors that, thanks to the generous support of the Dragon Community Trust, we have secured funding to upgrade key areas of our club facilities.

This exciting project will include an upgrade of the men’s showers, along with refurbishment of the floors on all five of our squash courts.

A huge thank you to the Dragon Community for their continued support of our club and local sport. Your contribution helps us create better facilities for everyone to enjoy.
