One of the earliest venues was the School of Arts on Victoria Avenue, Chatswood, now the site of The Concourse. Members have included many of Australia's famous names, among them Lajos Steiner, John Purdy, Terry Shaw and Phillip Viner, and is now home to star players Max Ilingworth and Anton Smirnov.
