Find Your Club Night
All sections are open to Rangiora RSA Club members. Some charge a small annual subscription or match-night fee to cover competition and equipment costs - details are noted below. Get in touch with a section contact, or ask at the bar, to come along.
Pop along on a Tuesday night throughout summer and winter, or a weekend if you fancy a social game - we're never far from the dart boards. The Darts Section enters teams in the Summer & Winter Darts Competitions in the North Canterbury area. Equipment advice is available for anyone keen to get started.
