 History

The Sub Branch was originally formed in 1947 and managed to obtain sufficient funds to purchase 5 small blocks of land in Samford. After the closing of the railway to Samford the Sub Branch lost most of its members and was forced to close, with the land being transferred in trust to Gaythorne RSL. After the reformation of the Sub Branch in 1989 the land was transferred back to Samford.
