The 59 Club was established by Ralph Lane who persuaded a small number of other actuaries (including Henry Cotterell, Tony Lamb, Alan Anderson and Harold Purchase) to join him in establishing a new club for the growing number of actuaries who were not members of the "establishment" clubs. The objective was to create a social dining club for building friendships between its members and their families.

The Club has maintained this objective over the past 47 years, with walking weekends, visits to the opera and an annual Croquet Day supplementing the more usual evening dinners. The Outward Bound walking weekends, which started in 1965, are particularly successful in supporting the Club's aims of promoting friendships between the members and their families. Having walked in the Lake District recently the Club then responded to the Faculty's challenge and put actuaries on at least two Munros.
