Matamata club was formed in 1919 and was originally located in Arawa Street. In 1937 the Club purchased the land that the premises is currently on and a year later  the original clubrooms were built. The clubrooms has since then been through quite a few changes. The Snooker rooms additions were made in 1971 and since then we have had many international celebrities and Test matches grace these premises. In 1983 the Rawhiti Lounge room was built with a kitchen facility to cater for this area which has a capacity to accommodate up to 150 seated members and is available to members to use for private functions, Christmas parties etc. Around 1991 the Rewa Bar was constructed and the Kaimai lounge which we are currently in are also used as a restaurant and a bar and are also available for private functions. “The Office” as it is affectionately known, has a wide variety of uses from being a meeting place for members or as a full on entertainment center with Sky TV available on the big screen, Snooker & 8-Ball Tables, T.A.B. Facilities, 18 Gaming Machines  and live band entertainment and shows. We also have an offsale licence and have an excellent line of stock available. There are a large number of social and sporting groups within the club e.g. The Rewa Bowling Club, Snooker Sections, 8-Ball Sections. The Matamata Club is affiliated to the Clubs N.Z.  Association and all club members have visitation rights to other club’s within the association.
