Our History
The Club we know and love today started in the post WWI era. In the legendary ‘tin shed’, returned Diggers assembled for meetings, get-togethers and the occasional cleansing ale.
The original Club site at the corner of Cumberland and Oxford Road Ingleburn was donated. An old army hut was transported to the site to serve as the club house. This was a local community meeting point and played host to regular housie and dances. From the early days to now, Ingleburn RSL Club continues to be a place where the local community can meet and gather.
Building on a legacy
Over the years, Ingleburn RSL Club has evolved into what it is today.
In 1965, the Club was granted a liquor licence. Sometime later, approximately six poker machines were approved and installed.
A decade later in 1975, the late Douglas Raymond Purser and his Board of Directors purchased 6 acres of land. This site became the new home for the Club, where it still stands today. The land was purchased from the late Eric Wood (Woods Estate) for the sum of $60,000.
Modernisation
At that time, a further $1.7 million was invested to build an ultra modern club house. Almost three decades later, the Club invested a further $6 million in renovation works.
In 1988, the Club purchased 13 holiday units at Forster on the NSW mid-north coast. These units have been subsidised by the Club for more than 30 years, offering tremendous value for money for members.
