Delhi Gymkhana Club 
Date Of Issue : 03.07.2013
 India Post released a New Stamp for " Delhi Gymkhana Club " on 3rd July 2013.
The Delhi Gymkhana Club or Delhi Gymkhana is a premier Gymkhana in New Delhi, the capital of India. So selective is the membership criterion that the usual waiting period for membership is about 30 years.Originally called the 'Imperial Delhi Gymkhana Club', it was founded on July 3, 1913, at Coronation Grounds, Delhi, and its first president was Spencer Harcourt Butler, first governor of the then United Provinces of Agra and Oudh. When new imperial capital of India, New Delhi was built, the club was allotted 27.3 acres of land in 1928 on perpetual lease. The word imperial was dropped when India gained independence in 1947.The club is located in the heart of Lutyens' Delhi on Safdarjung Road, occupying 27.3 acres (110,000 m2) of land as per the site plan made on the drawing board by Sir Edwin Lutyens as part of his grand design for Imperial Celebrations. Lutyens Delhi - the eighth in line - was built in an area littered with stones, tombs, domes, ruined walls and gardens of imperial former capitals - the historic cross roads and battle grounds of India.
