Club Information
The Club started as a bowling club in 1946, when a team of dedicated bowlers purchased an area of land, built and planted a green.
Debris such as broken bricks and glass from the burnt down Barellan Hotel (1940) was used as drainage foundation.
The original clubhouse still stands at Peter Tubb’s property on the Old Narrandera Road.
Progress was being made and membership growing; a name change was made to Barellan & District War Memorial Club, to obtain a liquor license and later, poker machines.
Local carpenter Peter Olsen was engaged to construct a new clubhouse.
In the late 1900s, a basketball court and four synthetic tennis courts were put down, Keno was installed and a Chinese cook was employed.
In the year 2000 and onwards, the club interior was opened up and a modern bar and reverse cycle air conditioning was added. An outside smoking area was built, adding to the comfort of members and guests.
This small club, with around six hundred members, has always supported many local charities, sporting clubs and organisations with generous donations.
The Club remains a community asset for Barellan and district.
