The Club had its beginning in 1923. From what has been learned, curling took place on a single sheet of ice at a local skating rink until the current clubhouse was erected. On the inside cover of a scribbler containing the earliest club minutes available (1935-1936) the following annotations were made.
"Club organized in 1923."
"New building erected in 1931."
"Annual meeting - second Monday in November."
According to historical documents, the following members were among the original 24 charter members.

Though not a charter member, Judge K.L. Crowell joined the Club, as a card playing member, soon after the Club was organized. The Judge recalls that the Club founders arranged to use a sheet of ice along the south side of the old skating rink. A board walk seperated the curling section from the skating and hockey areas. A room was provided at the Rink for the use of the curlers.
At the time of its inception, the Bridgetown Club was the only Club between Yarmouth and Windsor.
