History
On Wednesday 15th January 1873 at 8pm, eleven gentlemen met at Edward Barron’s house in Clifftown Parade. the purpose of their meeting was to discuss the formation of a club for “gentlemen of known respectability.” clearly much thought had already gone in to the venture as George Lay, a newly qualified local solicitor presented to the meeting a draft set of rules – many of which still survive to this day. the club was to be named after the Princess of Wales, later Queen Alexandra, and to be known as “The Alexandra Club”.
