About us

We are a social club with an active social programme. McKee Officers' Club membership is drawn from retired officers from both the Permanent and Reserve Defence Force. Originally it was established to enable retired officers, who during their service had served in McKee Barracks or had been members of McKee Officers' Mess, to continue their associate membership of that mess. At its November 2012 AGM the club changed its rules so that membership of McKee Officers' Club is now available to all retired commissioned officers who served in the Eastern Command or Eastern Brigade areas. This consolidated the fallout from Defence Forces' reorganisations over recent years, which included the change from Commands to Brigade areas, DFHQ relocation to Newbridge and in Nov 2012 the introduction of the two brigade organisational structure.
