Early Saturday morning our beloved Maranui Surf club had a fire. Not only is the surf club a big part of our family, with many Sundays spent on the beach watching our young beat the elements with boogie board in hand. There is also a significant 100 year history that makes it so special. Along with the clubrooms there was also a great deal of damage done to the cafe upstairs. Maranui cafe is also a big part of our lives with many coffees & hot chocolates consumed over the years, along with many happy family gatherings, always with excellent food & wonderful staff.
I look forward to the rebuilding of the clubrooms & cafe & with a strong community behind it & a few fundraising events & sausage sizzles I'm sure it will be back.
