The Last Post has sounded for the battle-scarred New Plymouth RSA club.

The Taranaki Daily News (Wed.10 Feb) has reported that RSA club members are “agreed that what had started the friction [that had led to the closure of the clubrooms] was Steve Crow’s role as a pornographer and his intentions to advertise erotica on a billboard at the RSA site.” 

“Under orders from its national executive, the debt-plagued club which has proudly served old soldiers and their families for more than 90 years ceased trading at midnight on Monday.

It now looks extremely unlikely the Devon St East clubrooms will re-open – and already, fellow chartered club the New Plymouth Club has taken over, offering all 1000 RSA members full access to its Gill St premises.”
