It was resolved that meetings be held at the Hutt Golf Club (now known as Boulcott's Farm Heritage Golf Club) on the third Monday of each month from 10 am to 12 noon.

The first Guest Speaker was the then current Mayor of Lower Hutt, Mr John Terris, and over the years the Club have had Guest Speakers who have spoken about their particular vocation or interest which members have enjoyed hearing.

The Club celebrated the 10th Anniversary of the Club at the Petone Workingmen’s Club in 2007.
The 20th Anniversary in June 2017 was at the James Cook Hotel, Wellington, and the 25th Anniversary celebrated on 23 June 2022 at “The Grasslands” Silverstream Retreat in Lower Hutt.

Life Membership was conferred on Colin Strachan in March 2007 and Jaye Howey in August 2009.
Our 20th  Anniversary in June 2017 saw Liz Palmer & Bill Soeberg receive Life Membership  and at our 25th Anniversary celebrations, Life Membership was conferred on Robin Watson.
