Many members support the club through representation in the Harris/Edwardes Trophy Inter-Club competition. The Metro Club has won the Premier Division on many occasions since the competition began in 1958.
Our members are also keen to play in the WA Grand Prix events that are organised by the CAWA over selected weekends.
