The Boilers Society of Victoria has been operating for over 65 years and is believed to be the oldest gay club operating in Australia. We have a steady membership and are looking forward to expanding our membership, ensuring the group’s longevity into the future. The group consists of gay and gay-friendly mature people. The Boilers is a social club meeting monthly for friendship and socialising over drinks and supper, with a short informal meeting.

Other functions include luncheons, trips, and restaurant nights (there’s something held each month). We hold special events on Halloween, Cup Day, and Australia Day, and we hold a Christmas Party. Interested new members are most welcome to attend as a guest before making a commitment.

Our members are from the suburbs around Melbourne, and we also have country members who attend our functions/meetings when possible. Meetings are held in the clubrooms in South Melbourne every 2nd Saturday evening of the month.
