"In 1921, the Club purchased a piano and invited Mr Cyril Mee as a visitor to lead the first club singing. Alberto Zelman, the conductor of the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra was appointed musical director. He invited select members to form a choir to lead the singing. Within two years, the singing had a fixed place on the luncheon agenda. “Will the choir please assemble” was greeted with more enthusiasm than accepting first-name acquaintance!"
