The group was founded on May 14, 1959, with [[Frans Nell]] (chairman), [[Rita Greeff]] (secretary), and [[Andre Slabbert]] (Glaum) (treasurer) and they had given over 200 performances in centres as far apart as Aliwal North, Hartenbos and Bloemfontein. In 1961 [[Pauline van Zyl]] was made secretary and together with [[Jannie van Zyl]], [[Ice Lotter]] and [[Rykie Lotter]] (professional), they had been acting together for 20 years. Other members included [[Bertie de Beer]]. Performances were given until 1972 when, with the arrival of TV, a decision was taken to disband the group.
 
During its existence it travelled widely around the Eastern Cape and gave performances mainly at smaller villages.
 
Some members of the club were [[D J De Villiers]], Mr and Mrs E H Egan, Mrs Orsmond, Mr and Mrs [[Etto van Bonde]] and [[Maud Jones]].
