Established in 1865 and run on these premises in Barnbygate, Newark since 1933.

Formed in 1865, with the inaugural meeting taking place at the Robin Hood Hotel. The Club soon moved to premises on Beaumond Cross and then in 1933 it moved again to its present imposing premises at Barnbygate House.

From those early days the Club has established itself as one of the institutions of the town. Throughout its life the Club has had many distinguished Members, mayors, aldermen, leading industrialists, JPs and MPs. It has also seen many important visitors, the most famous probably being Lawrence of Arabia, who enjoyed the facilities whilst serving locally with the RAF.

The Club is a convenient town centre haven where members from all walks of life can share its convivial atmosphere. There is also an extensive well laid out garden at the rear with several mature trees.

New members are always welcome and membership is subject to nomination and selection in the normal way. Subscriptions are fixed annually and reduced subscriptions are payable by members under the age of 35, Country and Distant Members, (those living greater than 4 or 10 miles from the Club) and Retired Members.

Ladies may become associate members, and as such have access to parts of the Club at Lunchtimes and on Saturdays, as well as to many of the social functions held throughout the year.

The Club’s facilities are available for Members and their guests to use for private receptions, conferences, seminars, lunch meetings or weddings.
