Parramatta Leagues Club has a rich history. In this series Tim Mannah sits down with our Foundation and Life Members and they share some stories from our Club’s history.
 
What makes a Member a Foundation Member or a Life Member?
Foundation Members
In 1955, a committee was formed to establish a licensed premises now known as the Parramatta Leagues Club. For the application to be submitted and approved the committee needed 200 people to join as members. Those 200 people then became our Foundation Members. Their Parramatta Leagues Club Membership commenced in 1957. Construction of the Club commenced in February 1959 and the Clubs doors opened in August 1959.
We wish to thank all our foundation members for their continued support of the club over the many years and value their contribution made from the beginning, without the help of all our foundation members, Parramatta Leagues Club would not be what it is today.
