From its inception, the Club operated out of the Divestment Secretariat of the Ministry of Finance.  Under the guidance of its first board, the club defined as its mission, the promotion of activities aimed at enhancing the cultural, social, educational, spiritual and economic well-being of members.

To pursue the Club's objectives it was recognised that a permanent home was needed.  Consistent with its commitment to support the CBRC, the bank provided a fully functional administrative office on the 15th floor of the Central Bank building.  This office was opened on Thursday 1st July 2004.  From that base, the Club established itself as, among other things, a representative body for the former members of the bank's staff.  The CBRC Administrative Office was relocated to the ground floor in 0000.  From that office, the club expanded the number and variety of its programmes.
