Members and friends of the Wondai Country Club gathered on Saturday night to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the combined golf and bowls club.<\/p>\n

About 60 people, including former members who travelled back for the night, enjoyed a meet’n’greet and dinner at the club.<\/p>\n

A highlight of the night was the opening of a 25-year time capsule which for many years hung from a beam in the bar until renovations in recent years meant it was relocated to a safe.<\/p>\n

Club president Winston Burrows said the golfers in Wondai originally played at the Wondai Showgrounds and moved to the current site in 1933.<\/p>\n

In 1941, bowlers joined with the golf club, and a Constitution for the new body was drafted.<\/p>\n

It was originally known as the Wondai Golf and Bowling Club, but in later years the name was changed to the Wondai Country Club.<\/p>\n
