THE HISTORY OF MERCURY BAY CLUB

Times of dedication and extraordinary team work brought about the Mercury Bay Club as it is today.

 

The first meeting of the Mercury Bay Club was held in 1973 July 31st . Those eligible to vote were all financial members of the previously formed MB Provisional Club and the MB Social Club, who were to constitute the foundations membership of the MB Club.

 

The MB RSA members were all invited to become foundation members. In order to preserve the relationship between the MB Club and the MB RSA in 1975 a resolution was passed at an Extraordinary General Meeting that the Mercury Bay RSA be acknowledged in helping.

THE HISTORY OF MERCURY BAY CLUB

CLUB POEM BY BARBARA REID

Way back in '72
the R.S.A. felt need to review
a new location and their revenue

Meetings were held
the committee elected
plans agreed and projected

'74 was club incorporation
650 was the new population

Doors were opened in '76
Friendship and Fellowship being the fix

To date we have more than doubled our size
Mercury Bay's most valued prize

Come and join us, you will see
Friendship and Fellowship
being our key.
