MAJOR RENOVATIONS 2008
Our $2.6m renovations has begun! Our main objective with the renovations is to increase the size of our dining area and put in place designated outdoor smoking areas. (DOSA).
Stage 1 of the renovations is well under way with the restructuring of the Alf Smith Sports Bar into an Alfresco Coffee Lounge. The Hall and Sports Bar have been temporarily closed and unfortunately some disruption to services has occurred. Please bear with us as the final result will be of great benefit to all.
Our child supervision on Thursday and Friday nights has been halted until further notice. Also, our Bingo sessions have been fixed for Sundays only. Once again this is only temporary and we will keep you updated on this site.
Our aim is to have every stage completed before the Masters Games in October 2008 when we will be the host club to Lawn Bowls and Darts.
With the support of our members, we look forward to a successful year and assure all members and guests that we, together as a team, will keep striving to retain our club's premier reputation.
