The Brigadier Hill Annexe is part of an original cottage called the 'Dovecot', which was set aside for the exclusive use of the ladies of the club. Built in 1907, it soon became a place for parties and social jamborees. It was named after Brigadier R.C.R Hill, the club's longest serving President. On entry, you are welcomed by a trellis-worked porch that leads on to a sweep of stairs reminiscent of the 18th century colonial era. The centre of the hall is sunken with a wooden floor and surrounded by pavilions looking out through large bay windows. It even has its own bandstand. Tall Tuscan pillars with decorative cornices and crystal chandeliers add to the picture perfect setting. The annexe can accommodate up to a hundred people. |
