The club's first President was Brian Marshall, who had prior experience with an AUSSI club in Sydney.

The club initially started with 15 members and has since grown to approximately 60 members, maintaining a relatively constant membership throughout the years. The club was incorporated in 1987, solidifying its status as an official organisation.
