Early Dutch migrants that arrived in the late 1940’s had made several attempts to establish Dutch clubs in WA, such as the Dirck Hartog Society and the Australian Dutch League, but these all disbanded but after a short while none of these clubs continued. During the early 1950’s the Dutch migrants arrived in larger numbers and although many got on with starting a new life here, they all still desired the Dutch culture and social life.
In order to enjoy some of those experiences, many clubs were formed. Some of these were the Windmills Soccer Club, several Klaverjas Clubs, two Ladies Choirs, Male Voice Choir, Repertory Club Elckerlijc, Hollandia Biljard Club, Dam Club King Damas, The King Street Dance Club, several Church Organisations and even a Credit Union.
