Dhaka Club

Dhaka Club commemorated its 90th year on August 19 of this year. Through the passage of time this historical club has changed both in size and character. But still it holds up its exclusive appeal.
At the entrance of the lounge of the club, there is a foundation stone which says that Sir James Donald Lancelot Hare K.C.S.I.C.I.E placed this stone in August 19, 1911. Sire Lancelot Hare was the Lieutenant Governor of then Eastern Bengal and Assam. The other seven founding member of the club were :

1. Lt. Col. E. A. W. Hal
2. Civil Surgeon, Dhaka
3. C. R. W. Bryan
4. H. G. Bally
5. Commandant, Military Police Battalion, Dhaka
6. A. T. Holiday of India Police, Dhaka
7. J. O. Rennie, PWD, Dhaka
8. J. S. Wilson of India Police, Dhaka

The founder members were all Englishmen. At first it was a entertaining place only for English bureaucrats and traders. Local people were not allowed. Nawab Habibullah Bahar was the first Bengali member. After a long time, in 1935, District and Sessions judge Bobby Sen was introduced, incidentally. Following that some notable Bengalis were made members of the club. But till partition the club was dominated by Englishmen and European. In late fifties Bengali members came in forward. Some took place in acting body also.

One of the most important features of this club which made it into an exclusive place of leisure is its rules and regulations. Those should be followed strictly. Such as, men may not have to wear coat tails and cummerbunds when they join to dinner. They certainly have to wear proper shoes and collated T-shirts. Sneakers and collarless T-shirts are not allowed.

With the independence the colonial culture passed almost and Bengali flavour flourishes the club. Instead of English food kacchi biriani, tehari, morog pulau are favourite dish now-a-days. With the Chrismas, new year ball the club also arranges programme to celebrate Pahela Baisakh, Ekushe February.
Dhaka Club is known for establishing tennis, bridge and billiards in Dhaka. It has produced champions including a one time tennis marker Joytish Lal Chouhan. The club now has three tennis courts with flood lights for playing at night. The Dhaka Club Bridge team has represented Bangladesh in international competitions in Manila, India and Mauritius. Squash is also a strong feature at the club.

With the last 90 eventful years the club stands as a symbol of social status and historical icon. Its historical value, different type of rules and regulations made it very much adorable to everyone. That its speciality.
