This club, which was founded in 1887, has the complete name of “Nottingham Imperial Order of Oddfellows Club & Institute”. The term Oddfellows refers to one of the oldest of the friendly societies and, much like Freemasonry, the Oddfellows fraternity claim their roots go back to the trade guilds in the 12th and 13th centuries. Access to the club is available to members, members guests and CIU affiliated members. The club consists of two large rooms on the ground floor. To the right of the foyer is the lounge bar, with a stage for entertainers. Straight ahead is the games room with two snooker tables, one pool table, a skittles table, darts boards and no less than four impressively full trophy cabinets. On the first floor there is a large concert room not now in general use but available for functions.
