OUR HISTORY

1938
The Exies was founded in 1938 by a driving group of forward thinking RSL members. On the 5th march, 1938 a final inspection resulted in the signing of the lease for the first Club premises at 23 Banna Avenue, Griffith (where Fred Coles Better Electrical currently stands).
1939
On the 8th October, 1939, the committee decided it was time to make the shift across the road to a bigger premises know as the ‘Solider’s Memorial Hall’.

began trading on Sundays.
