The long colonnade
of "A" Block with its huge bell, the planter's chairs outside
the billiard room, the corner with a chess table below beautiful
stained glass panes are some of the quaint and rare beauties one
can experience at The Club.
The Breakfast
Room boasts large windows that look out on the old trees
to the rear of "A" block.
The Club offers
a dedicated Billiards Room
with well-kept equipment. It is here that many members' children
have, literally, taken their cue for the first time.
The adjoining
room has facilities for pool, table tennis
and carom.
The colourful
table tops, charming old chairs, and red floors of the Cards
Room invite members to relax over a game of cards.
With its sloping
wooden ceiling and sprung wooden floor, Frere
Hall is the perfect place for evening dances and galas.Frere
Hall is also the place where, every evening in season, the Club
Secretary and his wife host a housie game for the children.
The broad
verandah behind Frere Hall is used by members who wish to sit
undisturbed. A flight of steps leads to a large lawn with a volleyball
net. This is also the place where, every Diwali and New Year's
eve, the Club hosts a spectacular fireworks display.
The
Library is probably the Club's best-kept secret. It is
truly a treasure-trove: the collection, now being professionally
organized and catalogued, has not just modern thrillers but also,
uniquely, many timeless classics including several first editions
and issues of Strand and Punch magazines of the 19th Century
The 1st Floor
of A Block has several rooms and suites and a generously
proportioned lounge. Subdued lighting and light cane furniture
in the Lounge on the first floor of A Block, in an open arrangement
by large picture windows make this a perfect spot to relax. The
Club also has rooms in the B, C and D Block.
The smaller
children love the Children's Park with
its slides and swings.
A large open
area across the road and flanking C-block is maintained as a recreational
facility with a mini-golf course and a jogging
track. Behind C block is a hardcourt
tennis court that our members can use for a game of tennis.
Many members
go down to the golf course for a
walk, which can take them right to the lake with constantly changing
views of the woods and hills, and the lake beyond. Enthusiastic
golfers also enjoy this course, which demands a high degree of
accuracy and skill.
In-room facilities including tea/coffee makers (tea service can be ordered at an additional charge).
