A SHORT HISTORY

 

The Royal Naval Engineers’ Quart Club was founded on 1 July 1930, the object being to form a beer drinkers club and to discourage the “gin habit”.

 

In December 1930 it was decided to extend the activities of the Club beyond the bar and form a general sports club.

 

Since then the Club has taken on a more general character with a particular emphasis on charitable work.  It consists in the main of Royal Navy Engineer Officers, retired and serving, with a shared service background but a wide range of ages, experiences, views, ideas and interests.
