After an inaugural meeting held at "Coolden", New Farm, in July, 1956, the Club had its first official meeting at Royal Queensland Golf Club where it has continued to meet ever since. The Charter from Rotary International was presented on 23 February, 1957, at a function held at Lennons Hotel, Brisbane. |
