When will we open?

You may notice a bit of activity down at the club in the coming weeks. Brisbane City Council contractors are undergoing some work. We are still working with Council on a handover date and have our fingers crossed it will be this side of Christmas. We will have an update on the works for you very soon.

We did it! And more!

In September and October 2021 we ran a crowdfunding campaign aiming to raise $15,000. It didn't take long to achieve our first goal (thanks to our amazing community) and by the time we closed the campaign we successfully raised $22,435. The funds raised will cover start-up costs and our first month’s bills, including insurances, a liquor license, utilities, rent, internet, phone, waste, cleaner, cleaning products, glassware, chairs and tables, grounds maintenance, point of sale system, stock and a first aid kit.

Everyone who donated to the campaign purchased a memberships. Memberships will be valid from the day we launch.

One week to go!

We have decided to extend our crowdfunding campaign for one more week. This is your last chance to support our fundraising efforts and become a member of the club. We smashed our first target of $15,000 and our second of $20,000 and now we are going for $100,000... Jokes! But seriously, although our crowdfunding results are more than we could have ever wished for, it is only a small dent in our start-up costs. So if you’re still considering a membership, let us throw some numbers at you:

• To bring one green back to social bowling standard will cost $10-15,000 (depending on whether we can secure volunteers to help with the labour)

• Our insurances cost $39,000 for the year, a liquor license is approximately $3,500,

• An upgraded security system will cost around $20,000

• To fix the kitchen is about a $80,000 investment

• The greens need shade, we need to purchase glassware, tables, chairs, stock, sanitiser… the list is endless but every little bit helps and we are beyond grateful for your support so far.

Please tell your friends and neighbours the countdown is on.
