It started with three doctors and five other men sitting around a table coming up with a plan for a gentlemen’s club. The Rotorua Club was born. Fast forward 100 years and the club has more than 450 members and is still going strong.

But there has been change over the decades - some of the archaic rules are gone - women are now allowed through the doors and men no longer have to wear shirts, jackets and ties. The club’s history will be celebrated this weekend with a 100th anniversary get-together..
