Club History

 

The club was founded in 1927 by a group of local fishermen, who hired a room in the local village hall to hold their meetings.  They brought along their own beer and enjoyed each other's company.  There is evidence that a group had been meeting since 1923, but it was not until later that the Club was properly formed and the first President was The Reverend Wynne-Hall, who remained in office until 1934.

 

The first Clubhouse was then constructed by the members, opposite the village hall, it was called "The Green Hut", a green corrugated iron structure, and they named it the club "Mudeford Men's Club", this lasted until 1970. At this time the "Green Hut" was demolished and the Club in it's present form was built, in stages, as money allowed.

 

Members are rightly proud of the Club's heritage, the entire project since 1927 to the present day has been funded, designed and built by Club members.

 

We remember our Fisherman Founders every year with a Members Dinner "The Pussyfoot", so named because the members used to 'Pussyfoot home' afterwards! It is held in the Clubhouse, with local seafood. Fresh Christchurch Salmon, local Lobster or Crab, with plenty of wine and a Celebrity speaker.
