Sandringham Club

The Sandringham Club is by its very nature a very social place, with members and guests circulating through the club on a daily basis. The bar is the main meeting place, where if you arrive alone, you can be certain of being invited to join an existing group.

Thursday night is the regular dining night where between 25 and 50 members enjoy a two-course meal. This is an informal forum for chats about life’s experiences, sharing of jokes and a general chat about the club’s activities. This is also an excellent place to introduce guests and prospective new members to the club.

An arranged program of lunches and dinners occurs throughout the year with typically one each month. They include: Life Member and 50 Year Members dinner; an ‘End of Financial Year’ lunch; an AFL Grand Final lunch, different sports dinners; and a Christmas dinner.

In addition to these dates we have some great ‘traditional’ functions at Sandringham Club, the hallmark of which are the ‘Melbourne Cup Calcutta’, a black-tie affair held on Cup eve and filled with fine food, racing personalities and a very healthy prize pool and a Grande Bouffe dinner provided by a celebrity chef.

For members and their partners there are a range of well supported mixed events which include a ‘Rock & Roll’ nights, cabaret nights and a number of other musical nights and afternoons.

Many members make use of the club tennis and barbecue facilities with their wives and families on Sunday afternoons. These often develop into impromptu social events in the bar afterwards.

The social calendar is fittingly ended with our family Christmas Festival where the entire Club is Christmas-themed with lots of children’s activities and entertainment. This is a full day of fun for the whole family, especially enjoyed by proud grandfathers, fathers and wives and capped-off with a visit by Santa during the day.
