WAERENGA-A-HIKA HALL
SQUASH CLUB
10th anniversary

The present day Waerenga-a-Hika Hall was begun in 1985 when a squash court was built on the side of the original hall. 1990 saw the original hall demolished and the new structure was built, upgrading the showers and adding a new squash court at the same time.
