Pioneer Basketball Club Inc P.O. Box 33-487 Barrington Christchurch 8024 Pioneer Basketball Club The Pioneer Basketball Club was established in 2000 to provide basketball playing and development opportunities for local children. Most of our programmes are based at the Pioneer Sport and Recreation Centre in Spreydon and we have an office at Christchurch South Intermediate School. We employ a full time Development Officer, Tyla Hunt, and a part-time Administrator, Bronwyn Manderson. Our committee meets monthly and consists of 11 volunteer members. Through the success of our programmes we have grown steadily each year and we now boast a membership of over 1500. Most of our members live in the South Christchurch area, but we do have some members from other parts of Christchurch.
