The Wigginton and Haxby Old Age Pensioners' Association was established sometime between 1947 (the earliest date at which one of the known founding members could have joined) and 1953 (when the surviving records begin), following the establishment of the National Pensioners' Association in 1937. The club members split in 1957, with the association continuing as the Wigginton Old Age Pensioners' Association with members from Wigginton only.

The club split from the National Pensioners' Association in 1981, and became known as the Wigginton Over 60s Club. It continued to operate under this name until 2017 when the name was changed to the Wednesday Club, to make the club more welcoming to members across the local area and to reflect the traditional committee meeting day. As of 2024, the club is still in operation.

The club is a subscription association, organised by a committee drawn from members. The committee meet on a Wednesday in the Wigginton Recreation Hall. Activities of the club have included talks and lectures, trips and outings, lunches, fetes, holding a raffle, and other social meetings and events.
