March 20, 2012
For the future of the Alice Springs Memorial Club (the Memo Club) and in the best interest of all stakeholders, the Committee has made a very difficult decision to place the club into Voluntary Administration.
There is an immediate suspension of trade and the Committee is looking to establish a fighting fund for the people of Alice Springs to contribute to in the aim of reopening the doors as soon as possible.
A special general meeting has been called for April 1 @ 11.00am to be held at the Memo Club and we strongly urge all members and the community to attend.

When the army took over the town in 1940, they established a large camp at the northern end of town.Two Sydney Williams huts were erected at the foot of Anzac Hill, it became the first Memorial Club in 1947.
The Second World War put Alice Springs on the map. It became one of Australia’s most significant military centres. More than 50 trains a week were coming into town in 1942/43. Apart from Darwin there was probably no place in Australia changed by the war as much as Alice.
The population was approaching 2,000 in 1946 when the town’s ex-servicemen commenced proceedings to form a licensed club. Initially membership was to be restricted to ex-servicemen and the liquor licence granted in the name of the RSL. However, they recognised the need to also admit men who hadn’t served with the armed forces in order to trade profitably. So evolved the concept of the Alice Springs Memorial Club made up of exservicemen and associate members. The club was officially opened on Anzac day in 1947 at the foot of Anzac Hill. In 1951 the club moved to its present site 127 Todd Street.
Over the years the Memo club has helped raise many hundreds of thousands of dollars and now the club needs your help.
The Memo Club is the only community owned club with the only lawn bowls green in Alice Springs. The Memo Club supports many sporting bodies in Alice Springs, help us SAVE the Memo Club and to help keep the sporting clubs!!
