Lesmurdie Club had its beginnings in the late 1950s when a dedicated group of mainly Italian orchardists and timber industry people used to gather at the old Lesmurdie Sawmill in Canning Road (now the site of the Church of Christ) to play bocce, socialise and maintain close ties with their fellow countrymen. A bocce court had been constructed from old railway sleepers.
\nThe sawmilling operations transferred to Pickering Brook in 1962 and it was decided to form a club at the vacated Lesmurdie Sawmill and surrounding orchard lease. A meeting was called and a steering committee formed.
\nThe original name was the Lesmurdie Agricultural Club. It was felt this name reflected the nature of the Club as a place to meet and socialise for the whole community.
\nThe Club commenced trading at the Canning Road site on a temporary licensing permit and an official licence was granted by the Liquor Licensing Court in December 1963. The licence fee was assessed on trading from the previous two months.
\nThe Club traded at this site for the next 14 years but experienced financial difficulties for most of this time.
\nIn 1975 it was decided to purchase the current site in Boronia Road. It was felt that a new Club was a better option than continuing in rented premises which were in dire need of repair. It was at this time that the name Lesmurdie Club was adopted.
\nThe Shire of Kalamunda refused to fund the Club in any way as it claimed the Club\u2019s then poor financial record was not an attractive vehicle for Shire assistance even though the Kalamunda and Pickering Brook Clubs were both being assisted by low-interest-bearing Shire loans.
\nThe purchase price of the 1.5 acre Boronia Road site, which was Railway Reserve vested with the Crown, was $12,000. The Club was able to secure a $40,000 bank loan and a further $7,000 in debentures from about 120 members for construction of the new premises.
\nLesmurdie Club moved into its new premises in May 1977. The Club was an immediate success and membership increased dramatically.
\nThe Club was incorporated as Lesmurdie Club Inc in May 1981.
\nExtensive renovations and upgrades have been carried out between 1995 and 2003 and since, Lesmurdie Club has secured adjoining land to expand its amenities and facilities in its ongoing commitment to maintain its reputation as \u201cThe Ultimate Hills Social Club\u201d.
\nToday, Lesmurdie Club is continuing its ongoing program of improving facilities for the benefit of members with planning well advanced for additional dining sections and family-friendly areas to encourage the community to make Lesmurdie Club the home base for social life. The acquisition of additional land will allow for controlled and sensible development in an expanded premises.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":538,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"directories-category":[30],"directories_tag":[],"yoast_head":"\n
