Despite the hard work of the club's previous board of directors, an administrator was called in late last year due to a cash-flow problem.

It was expected the club would close shortly afterwards, but a newly-formed committee continued fighting to save it.

Gail Little, who is part of the committee, called on the community to rally around the RSL before it was too late.

"People on the board of directors, like [president] Roy Bridge, [senior vice-president] Trish Johnson, and [treasurer] Sue Murnane, worked extremely hard," she said.

"They should really be recognised for the outstanding work they did.

"We all thought things were going quite well, but I guess the possibility of becoming insolvent forced them to call in an administrator.

"The administrator wanted to close the club and find another one to amalgamate with it.

"The issue there was you could only amalgamate with a financially-sound club, so it seemed at that time that the RSL would close.

"I didn't want that to happen and other means of support were investigated; three members have loaned the club money to give it a lifeline so we could see how to cut costs, increase patronage, and ensure its future."

Ms Little stressed the importance of the RSL to the community because of its ability to host fundraisers, ANZAC Day celebrations, wakes, social bowls, and other important events such as Carols on the Green.

"My main concern is that it's a community asset and if we lose it then it won't ever reopen," she said.

"The people who use it need to contribute; it'd be unfortunate if they lost their facility because they didn't support it."

The interim committee will remain in place until the club's annual general meeting, which is expected to occur once all accounts are up to date.
