Thank you for replying,My grandfather George Stellios must have been a part owner of the club in about 1946,as it states on his morgage his occupation as"club proprietor". I just wondered if it still existed, or what happened to the club as I am doing my family tree,it also stated on his mortgage he was naturalised etc, also where he was born.Serigo,Greece.I recently found and visited his grave,bought back many memories.

yes I remember the Athenian Club My brother and I were sent to Newington College when about 7 years old and Dad Theodore Comino from Merriwa in the upper Hunter Valley would take us there when he came to see us some weekends. I remember the steaming hot spagetti and the memories come back. Ah what age brings back to you, it was a very good Club to go to then.
