History in brief
The Club's first premises were built at 41 Young Avenue, Hindmarsh in 1971.
Prior to this, other venues were hired in order to hold cultural and social gatherings. For some time, a farm property at Verdun in the Adelaide Hills was also owned by the Slovenian Club at which community picnics were often held. In 1987, both farm and original club premises were sold to fund the construction of a new and larger premises in Dudley Park. 
The Adelaide Slovenian community has always shown a great spirit of cooperation and generosity, A selfless contribution of labour and intellect and generous financial support saw the construction of the Slovenian Club Premises, and many other initiatives since then. 
All members who have supported the Club over the years, keeping the Slovenian culture and traditions alive in South Australia for our second and third generation descendants, are to be richly congratulated. The Slovenian Club is our small piece of Slovenia on Australian soil.
The Slovenian Club Committee which oversees the running and administration of the community centre and seeks to provide services and amenities relevant to its members. The current committee sees a first in the club s long history, with a majority of second generation Slovenian South Australian s elected into the committee at last August s Annual General Meeting.
