Poppy ban for Grey Lynn RSC

This year the Royal New Zealand RSA have rebranded themselves and as the Grey Lynn RSC  is not a member of the RSA and never has been, it is not allowed to have a Poppy Day for the first time in almost 80 years. This loss of income is critical to the survival of the Grey Lynn RSC therefore your support in joining this fabulous community gem is appreciated. Come in on a Friday night and listen to a great live band and enjoy the hospitality bistro food available. In fact the RSC is open 365 days a year.   Membership is $30.00 per annum for an associate member and discounted rates apply for returned and Service people.  Come and visit – you will want to join up immediately!

Shop Local this Christmas

We are lucky in Grey Lynn to have local, independent shops that can meet all our shopping needs. There is no need to get in the car to go to the mall especially in the lead up to Christmas.

In association with the Grey Lynn Business Association we are supporting Shop Local this Christmas. Details of late night shopping hours in West Lynn on Richmond Road will be available here.
