"The Armidale Ex-Services Memorial Club’s history extends back to the end of World War I, when the Armidale Sub-Branch of the RSL had its headquarters in the Soldiers Room at the Literary Institute that was built by voluntary subscription.
At the end of WWII, the Ex-Servicemen’s organised strength was divided between the RSL and the Legion of Ex-Servicemen and Women. RSL Members decided by national ballot that membership should be restricted to those who had served overseas. Legion membership was open to all Ex-Service personnel regardless of their place of service. It was the Legion, which acquired the Club premises in Armidale. The building was largely derelict and known as the old steam laundry.
In 1951, the Armidale Ex-Services Club was founded at a public meeting of Ex-Servicemen attended by about 150 people. On July 18, 1951, members of the Legion Branch decided to transfer the premises to the newly formed Club. However, it was not until January 1953 that the actual transfer of the premises’ title was effected. At the Annual General Meeting of 1951, the Club had a total of 153 persons. "
