A Brief History…

The Social Club was founded in 1883 as the Working Men's Club under the Presidency of Sir Edward Colebrooke, who also built and endowed the village church. The subscription was 1penny a week. The rules stated that there were no intoxicants to be sold, nor gambling or bad language and no games on Sundays.

The building was designed by Theophilus Allen of Stanyards and opened in 1887 as a reading room, it was paid for by the local gentry and has since been enlarged. It is held in trust for the use of the village.

In 1915 wounded soldiers from Ottershaw Park and Ottermead hospitals were made honorary members and later the British Legion was amalgamated with the club.

In 1962 women were admitted to the club but were not made full members until the late 1980s.

It is now a thriving family club, run by a dedicated committee of members, and is the heart of Ottershaw village's social activities.
