Dance performances, music performances, films and dramas were regularly showcased at the staff club for its members. The following year (1966), the club became a member of the South India Bridge Association (According to the Annual Report of 1966-67).

By 1967, twenty-five films in different languages were screened and two plays were enacted by members of the club. A magic show and a mono-acting performance was also arranged during the same year (1966-67). Today the club also includes facilities such as a library and indoor recreation (Such as Carrom and Billiards).
