Officially titled Ingleburn R.S.L. Sub-Branch Club Co-Op Limited,
the Ingleburn R.S.L. Club is a trading body under the Registered
Club Act and administered by a Board Of Directors consisting
of nine (9) members each whom are elected annually by the
members.
The Sub-Branch is a sub-branch of the Returned and Services
League of Australia and is governed by the constitution of
the NSW State Branch of the league and is administered by
an elected committee. The Club and the Sub-Branch are two
separate identities.
 The
origin of the Club dates back to the legendary "tin shed"
where returned diggers from WW1 assembled for meetings and
get-togethers and the occasional cleansing ale. The original
club site was donated and the club house was in the form of
an old army hut that was transported to the site. Housie and
dances were regular events as part of local village entertainment.
During the course of time, improvements were made and in
1965 a liquor license was granted and sometime later approximately
6 poker machines were approved and installed. The club traded
at the corner of Cumberland and Oxford Road Ingleburn, until
1975 where 6 acres (current site) were purchased by the late
Douglas Raymond Purser and his Board of Directors for the
sum of $60,000 from the late Eric Wood (Woods Estate) and
an ultra modern club house was built for a cost of $1.7 million.
In July 2000, the Club renovated for a cost of $6 million.
Today the Club has a broad range of facilities including a
spectacular gaming room and entertainment lounge area, TAB
and Keno facilities as well as an auditorium, bistro, dining
room and sports lounge that contains some of the world's finest
memorabilia.
Today, the Club has a membership of over 10,000, has an annual
gross turnover of approximately $14 million and employs 70
casual and permanent staff. The Club has a Youth Club that
caters for some 3000 children who participate in sports ranging
from little athletics, ballroom dancing to cricket, rugby
league and soccer.
Other facilities include 13 modern holiday units at Forster.
The units at Forster are subsidized by the Club offering tremendous
value for money for members. These units have been subsidized
by the Club for members since the club purchased them back
in 1988.
Ingleburn R.S.L. Club continues to be a social meeting place
for many members of our community. Anzac Day is celebrated every
year, were the Club provides breakfast for over 2000 people
and the RSL Diggers are honored with "their day". The Club
also provides many groups including sporting and services groups
such as Lions and Rotary clubs with free use of meeting rooms
and function rooms. The Club also provides facilities during
times of bushfires, floods and emergency situations. Last
year alone, the Ingleburn RSL Club donated more than $200,000
towards local community groups and charities.
Although there are too many to list, the club plays a major
role in several significant charity and community groups.
The Ingleburn R.S.L. Club provides approximately 200 free
meals to Myrtle Cottage each week. The Ingleburn R.S.L. Club
along with several other clubs in the Macarthur region are
founding members of the Kids in Macarthur Foundation. The
Club provides over $10,000 per year in assisting the Foundation
to purchase important hospital equipment. The Ingleburn R.S.L.
Club is a major financial supporter of Mater Dei Special School
at Camden and has also financial assisted over 22 local primary
and secondary schools. Ingleburn R.S.L. Club has provided
training and support for many Campbelltown Tafe hospitality
students. The Club also provides much needed financial support
to the Health Research Foundation, Spinal Research Foundation
as well as Care flight Helicopter and Legacy. The Club also
supports the annual Ingleburn and Campbelltown Festivals and
provides meals and entertainment for over 300 senior citizens
during Senior Citizens week each year.
The Ingleburn R.S.L. Club uses the service of over 50 local
businesses. The club has always had the policy of supporting
local businesses. May of those local businesses rely on the
Club's trade and have established valuable business relationships
with the Club over the years.
The Ingleburn R.S.L. Club's Mission Statement states, "It
is our long-term goal to ensure the Club continues to develop
& remain not only an important part of but a major supporter
of the local community to which it belongs." With the introduction
of recent increases in Poker Machine Tax by Michael Egan,
the Ingleburn R.S.L. Club will find it increasingly difficult
to sustain this statement over the coming years. The subsiding
of meals and value for money beverages and facilities may
be a thing of the past and many charities will find it very
difficult financially and many sporting clubs will have to
find ways of supporting themselves without the Club's assistance.
There is no doubt whatsoever that Ingleburn R.S.L. Club along
with all Clubs in the Macarthur region play a critical role
in the wellbeing of our local community.
