UNSW responded that there was not currently a club, but that there were a number of students who participated in the sport. It was suggested that a club may be formed in the event of the competition being created. Again in 1962, a similar letter was recieved but this time the competition was scheduled for 1963. The University doesn't appear to have competed. The Water Ski Club was conceived at a meeting on 13 April, 1967, with 22 interested parties present. The Club become affiliated with the Sports Association at a meeting of the General Committee on 5 July 1967. The first Annual General Meeting for the Club was held on 19 September, 1967, with 30 attendees. The Club later changed its name to the Waterski and Wakeboard Club.

The Drama Club was established in July 1955. In the Club's constitution, which was approved at a meeting held on 16 September 1955, it was stated that the aim of the Club was to foster drama in the university. The Club's first secretary was Valerie McCallum (file 00021768). At the Club's 1960 annual general meeting, the name of the Club was changed to the Dramatic Society (Dramsoc) (Tharunka 30 June, 1960).

From March 1986 student drama at the university was continued in the form of the newly created New South Wales University Theatrical Society (NUTS) (Tharunka 3 March 1986).
