A pavilion was donated to the Club in 1976.

In 1978 the 'Susan Glass Memorial Pavilion' was added to the existing building and formally opened on 13th May 1978

The hurricane of 1987 completely destroyed the original pavilion, leaving only the 'Susan Glass Memorial Pavilion' standing

 

 

In 1988 the Club, through donations, grants and hard work of its members, purchased the current 'Susan Glass Memorial Pavilion', which was made ready for the 1989 season

 

 

An extension was added in 1993, allowing for larger changing rooms and bar facilities
