In addition to that exciting development news, our teams
have been busy delivering some incredible events. On the
26th of October the Club celebrated its 109th annual City
Tattersalls Cup Race. On Race Day we hosted over 700
guests in the Queen Elizabeth II Grandstand Ballroom and
for the first time we also hosted 150 Young Professionals
in the Kingston Town room. As you will see further in this
magazine the day was a raging success.
On the 16th of November, Corporate Concierge and the City
Tatts Young Professionals Network hosted a marquee at the
Polo in the City at Centennial Park. We had the pleasure
of having Georgia Higgins, the Sydney Captain, and Nano
Garcia, the Captain of the Hawaiian team, in the Club before
the event to view the inaugural City Tattersalls Polo Cup. The
Cup was won by the Sydney Team.
In this issue you will also find an article on the Club’s

space. On the day we had 1,016 people come to the Club

these tasks include:

financial outcomes. Seeking a new building valuation
and a fresh set of construction and fit out estimates

critical path items for this piece of work.

In his update, our Chairman noted some of the many events
and community support work your Club does on behalf of its
members. I would like to take a moment to thank all of our
dedicated staff that not only make it possible to participate
in community events, but also allow our Members to enjoy
the Club amenities every day. It is evident that without
committed and hardworking staff, we simply would not have
one. Our staff and Members are opposite sides of the same
coin, the whole of which make City Tatts possible.
Before concluding, I would like to remind Members that
2020 is a very important year for the Club, for two great
reasons. One is that in April 2020 our City Tatts Bowlers will Australian Turf Bowlers Trophy
be hosting the 55th Annual Bowlers tournament, which this Donated to CTC by Ralph Johns
year is being played out of Double Bay Bowling Club and will
see bowlers from all over NSW, Queensland and Victoria land
in Sydney to represent their respective Clubs. We have won
this tournament 20 times over the past 55 years and we look
forward to winning this again.
The other very important event in 2020 of course is our
125th Year Anniversary, a year that will see the creation
of a new Anniversary Logo and some very exciting pieces
of merchandise being made available to Members as
mementos of this significant milestone.
Dear Members, on behalf of our Board of Directors, staff and
the 25 bookmakers who established our Club back in 1895,
may I take this opportunity to thank you for your support,
your wonderful patronage of our Club and wish you and
those close and dear to you a wonderful Christmas period
and all the very best for 2020.

The next submission will be a 2 DA approval, which will outline the look of the building and detail design plans specific to the exact building product mix. In preparation of the 2 DA submission, there will be an architectural competition which will commence in 2020 after which an architect will be chosen to design the multi-user development. At this stage Club Members will begin to get an understanding of what the final development will look like including the building product mix.

Bookies war: Big Tatts versus little City Tatts
Welcome to City Tattersalls Club, gracious home to Sydney’s second bookies’ club since 1924. City Tatts, then
dismissively known as Little Tatts, or even the pretender, was almost 30 when it moved here, audaciously right
next door to rival Tattersalls Club, then home to bookmaking aristocracy.
Foundations
City Tattersalls began with 25 St Leger bookmakers at a rowdy meeting in June 1895 at Her Majesty’s Hotel,
where Centrepoint Tower now stands.
Their first official meeting weeks later in rented rooms at the National Building at 248A-250 Pitt Street was a
“smoke ceremony”, where 105 chaps smoked and discussed politics while listening to live music.
With 367 members by 1897, the club looked for bigger rooms and in 1903 purchased 249 Pitt Street, next door
to George Adams’ grand hotel, now the Sydney Hilton, and opposite elegant Tattersalls Club, built in 1891.
202 – 204 Pitt Street 198-200 Pitt Street
The narrow building offered a billiards room and large lounge, or settling room, where bookies met to settle
bets on Monday mornings. More importantly, it backed onto a lane shared with offices for the Evening News
newspaper.
City Tatts made a deal with the newspaper to call Melbourne Cup results to a lookout at the rear of the club,
who then dashed through to the Pitt Street end where chairman James Clarke announced the winner to crowds

With 2000 members in 1922, the crowded club decided to splash out £35,000 to purchase 198-200 Pitt Street,
