Chapter 1 - In The Beginning
​
The year of 1913 brought its usual share of change and progress, turmoil and tragedy to the world. Industry would never be the same again after the American industrialist Henry Ford introduced the first moving car assembly line; and the planet shrank just a little bit more with the opening of the Panama canal.
Chapter 10 - The Ladies
​
There had, of course, been a ladies influence in the club from that very first meeting back in 1913.
But it was not until 15 years later that the first meeting of the ladies club was held with Miss W. Walton taking the honour of captain.
However, it should be noted that the captain's board in the ladies lounge records A. Wright in 1925 as the first person to take on the role.
The officers chosen to lead the new section included Miss K. Martyn, secretary (a duty she would later share with Mrs S. J. W. Donald); Mrs R. V. Lees, treasurer; and a committee of Mrs D. Charlton, Mrs A. Gamble, Mrs S. J. W. Donald, Mrs H. S. Shacklock.
