The club had to be rebuilt because the old one had been deliberately burnt down two years previously. In the interim period the old Garth library had been converted for a temporary home to maintain the club spirit and atmosphere. The club today is home to three sporting sections,bowls cricket and rugby. The three sections work under their own banner but contribute to the Athletic Club by supporting it. The club has two function rooms, a main hall suitable for weddings and parties for over 100 people. Our newly renovated lounge upstairs which has a wine bar theme will comfortably hold approximately 80 people it also has two flat screen TV’s and a small dance area.
