Origin of the club

The Taupo Cosmopolitan Club was officially created in a public meeting held in February 1969. Having begun with a membership of 30 members, the club expanded to 300 when the original ones were requested to nominate others. In a bid to collect money for the new establishment, some debentures were issued to the members with values of $50 and a small interest charged above that for the newest members. With the club premises located above Taupo Industrial Supplies Ltd, the club grew over time instilling membership fees, facilities, games and dining services. By 1985, the club had achieved a formidable state capable of holding its large membership.
