Some background:
The Phoenix Club was started in 1979 in a very small way and grew and grew.
In 1980 we started to look around for our own premises as this would improve our
scope of activities and also the ambience of the club. Having decided to build
our own room, thanks to the generosity of many local individuals and Service
clubs the dream became a reality and gradually our "room" took shape
and was opened by Mr Cliff Michelmore in the spring of 1982. The club has gone
from strength to strength, membership has increased and the club now meets on
two days a week.
