The Geelong Club
The Geelong Club is a private social club originally established in 1859 originally as the Western Club, since most of its members were from outside Geelong in the Western District. After a period of inactivity the club reformed in 1874, and then again in 1881, when a group of gentlemen committed to an ongoing organization. The present organization dates is foundation from this year.〔( 'The Geelong Club: A brief history of its early days' By Norman Houghton, ''LaTrobeana'' Journal of the C. J. La Trobe Society Inc.

==Foundation and history==
The Club was formed by a group of Geelong wool merchants and Western District pastoralists with an foundation membership of about 70. It initially met in local hotel rooms, and in May 1860 a two-storey building at 58 Yarra Street was rented. financial difficulties and low membership caused the club to move its meetings to Mack’s Hotel in Brougham Street, in April 1864, selling its furniture, fittings, bedding, cutlery, etc. in the process. Activities petered out in the 1860s, but the Club revived in 1874, moving to Fassert’s Patisserie at 109 Ryrie Street but disbanded a year later when Fassert’s café closed due to financial difficulties. Graham Berry MLA, was inaugural President of this second Geelong Club.〔
