The building

A handsome home on Clifton Drive South

Our building has stood proudly on Clifton Drive South for well over a century. Following its conversion into a members' club it was officially opened on 23 May 1931 — a date the club still marks with affection today.

From the moment you step into the entrance hall, you are met by polished wood, framed portraits of past presidents, and the warm hum of conversation that has filled these rooms for generations.
