The Peshawar Club, officially known as Peshawar Services Club, is a members-only club located in Peshawar, Pakistan. It was formed in 1863 and is one of the oldest clubs in Pakistan.[1]
History
[edit]The club was founded in 1863 as the Games Club, located at 'No. 40 The Mall' with three tennis courts and a polo ground. In 1870, the Vale Hunt Club made it their headquarters. On 3 April 1899, it was officially registered as 'Peshawar Club.'[2]
After the 1947 Partition of British India, it became 'Peshawar Services Club Limited.'[2]
The Pakistan Army took over in 1993, renaming it 'Peshawar Garrison Services Club' in December 1997, and finally 'Peshawar Services Club' in May 2011.[2]
