History
The Stechford Club Ltd was registered on October 4, 1907 although the
first meeting was not held until October 9. For the first seven years
operated from leased premises which were part of the old Masonic
Hall in Station Road. In 1914, the present club building was completed. The land
cost £236 15s 6d and the building cost £1160, the funds were raised by a
debenture scheme. The first club President was M.L. Lancaster JP who was
Birmingham's only ever independent Lord Mayor from 1929 to 1930.
Traditional Events
The club holds several formal events each year including a
Burns supper, St George's Day lunch and the club lunch, which
is always held on the second Saturday in December. The club lunch is followed
with several competitions.
Centenary Celebrations
The club celebrated its 100th anniversary on the
October 12, 2007 with a gentlemen's charity dinner, which was attended by The Lord Mayor of Birmingham
Randal Brew OBE, John Hemming MP and Tommmy Docherty. The following Saturday a dinner dance was held at which
Barroness Morris of Yardley was the guest of honour. Between the two event
over £2000 was raised for local charities.
Snooker
Snooker has always been a key part of the club's life. The club has three tables and holds
occasional matches with other like minded clubs. Six annual snooker and billiard
competitions cater for all from the novice to the experienced players using a
handicap system for all but the Club Championship.
