Sorry to potentially derail this into a catch-all savage club thread CN, but it's the best place for it right now - I also found this one listed amongst venues for hire in the Horowhenua region:

**Horowhenua Savage Club
Parker Avenue
Levin

Tel: (06) 368 9834**

Looks like there are plenty more around too:

Regarding heritage listing for a Savage club hall, I'd imagine it could be an uphill battle in today's political environment. A society whose accoutrements included such gems as this...

...is unlikely to gain much traction with cultural preservationists or the MCH! Still, stranger things have happened, and if there is enough community support there may be a chance.
