The Hastings RSL building was started when a WW1 owner of a property in King Street donated it to the RSL. Construction started around 1923, it was built by ex WW1 members of the Community. It has evolved over the years with a lot of additional areas created and keeps on growing. There are around 156 Members both ex service and civilians who regularly attend the Thursday night meals as well as the Friday night Roast and Veggies along with the weekly raffles. It is a Non Profit entity.
