History
The Coomealla Memorial Sporting Club Limited was originally
established from the initiative of members of the local
RSL Sub-Branch. A public meeting on the 18th September,
1947 saw the establishment of a committee for the purpose
of forming a club to be known as the Coomealla Memorial
Club.
Funding for the building was by interest free loans, supported
by donations. The final cost of the original building was
£5,000 (pounds).
The original building comprising of bar, billiards room
and one other small room was officially opened by Lt. General
Sir Stanley Savige on the 23rd September, 1950.
Although initiated by the local RSL Sub-Branch, it is not
an RSL Club.
Since its inception, the Coomealla Club has undertaken a number of extensive building renovations to ensure our members and guests are presetned with the latest club innovations and facilities.
Today the Coomealla Memorial Sporting Club is a multi faceted facility providing extensive dining and function facilities, indoor and outdoor entertainment areas, Sports Bar, children's entertainment area, private and corporate function facilites. Combined with our sporting facilities and modern Accommodation Resort the Coomealla Memorial Sporting Club reflects the masterful foresight of our founding members
In 1993 the Coomealla Club was recognised for the development,
promotion and support of sport by being identified as the
Coomealla Memorial Sporting Club Limited.
Some twelve thousand members, incorporating nine (9) sporting intra clubs enables the Coomealla Memorial Sporting Club to provide enormous financial support and assistance to an extensive range of sporting and community organisations throughout our local district.
