Other facilities

The Clubhouse, also known as Club Albatross, is the heart of Patria’s social life. This is where all Patrians come together on Friday nights for the man of the match announcements for all the sport that took place during the week. The club house is also used for internal and external socials with other ladies' residences.

The atmosphere in the clubhouse is always sociable and everyone sings along. In between all the spirit, traditions and tons of memorabilia on the walls one cannot help getting nostalgic. The club house also offers two pool tables, a foosball table and darts for everyone to enjoy. The courtyard is right next to the club house.
