Asquith Rugby League Club Function Centre

MAGPIES WAITARA AND THE COMMUNITY Magpies Waitara plays avitally important role in the community providing support to a multitude of organisations through the Club GRANTS Scheme, charitable and sporting organisations within our district both financially and in-kind donations when in 2021/2022, Magpies Waitara proudly donated $195,805 to our community. February 1979, eleven years and eight days after Asquith Rugby League Club Ltd was established from Asquith Sports Club, work began on the licensed premises. For the group of 30jubilant people, champagne in hand, that stood on the vacant lot at the pre-commencement ceremony on 22 February 1979, it was the end of over a decade of hard work and twists and turns and the beginning of a vision about to be realised.

Asquith Rugby League Club was to be built in four stages at a cost of almost $700,000. A single-store building containing a dining room, auditorium and bar was to be completed by August 1979.

The Official Opening, with guest of honour, Mr Kevin Humphries, President of the NSWRL & Australian Rugby League, took place on November 16, 1979. Licensed trading had commenced a month prior. Right up to the doors being open for the first time, workers were still laying the carpet! Architectural foresight had seen that the original building could be expanded to six times this original size with the concrete structure designed to support two upper levels. This foresight allowed the 1998, $8.5 million renovation of the present day club premises. Extract from the 50 year Commemorative Book“ Where the Stars Meet Under the Stars” by Adam Hawse.

We are able to host a range of events including weddings, birthday celebrations, anniversaries, seminars, conferences, Christmas parties, family get-togethers, reunions for 20 + people.
