Being an active sports club founded in 1882, the clubroom reflects its rich history, with many original photographs dating from the late 1880’s to the present day. Many of the Club’s trophies are on display, some adorning the walls alongside the Club’s ornate “Honour rolls” and its lists of past office bearers.
