The club remained at Rhodes Park until 1957, when the Johannesburg council decided that Kensington Polytechnic would have to change their name to Rhodes Park Sports Club. The Die-hard club members did not approve and decided to move to the present, which had been vacated by Old Parks. The club went through some name changes, Marists-Polys, Bedfordview-Polys, until in the mid seventies it was decided to call it Bedfordview Country Club. The Club today has eight sections , namely, Athletics, Baseball, Bowls, Cricket, Hockey, Soccer(Seniors and Juniors), Tennis and Squash. All sections are very prominent in the leagues of the districts they represent. We have a membership of approximately 900 members. The club also has a very good working relationship with Virgin Active who have a flagship gym on the premises.
