Welcome to 2020 @ the PBC!

Happy 2020 loyal PBC members,

We hope everyone had a good break and is feeling refreshed for 2020, even though it is already February!

We have a good year ahead planned with the usual events and party’s put on by us for you, our members. Plus, hopefully a bar renovation to fix existing water damage and then a few upgrades to make things more streamline and efficient for both staff and of course, you. If the stars align and we go ahead with this build it will take place in our quietest winter months but we will still be open and trading and will need your help and business to keep us going. More on that topic when all is confirmed though.

Thanks for a top year in 2019 and here’s to a bigger and better 2020 😊

Building Accessibility

We have achieved a lot over the years but one of the long term issues we haven't solved yet is making the club building accessible. The board pours a lot of money into getting the building safe and working with many things demanding priority attention or else we wouldn't be able to operate. This was evident with the recent total kitchen upgrade and for the next big project - rebuilding the whole bar area. 

This is because of diminishing waterproofing of the bar area floor that requires the whole bar to be ripped out.  We are doing some re designing to improve flow. This is a big-budget project and we are hoping we can do this in July (stay tuned).

The building works associated with accessibility would require access to the building plus accessible toilets. This would also trigger other works to make the building certifiable.  It would be the biggest project we have done. We are committed to this year having architectural plans made on how we can achieve this to the building. Once we have these plans we will be able to cost it and then try and fundraise/save up to build it.  As such we are seeing if within our PBC community there are architects who can do this sort of work at a price that reflects we are a community club.  Please email or call Penny 9569 4639, manager@thepbc.org.au.  

Cheers,

George, PBC President

We saved up our money last year and got this fancy water bubbler and tap installed outside next to the greens for your drinking pleasure. Being a waste conscious club, we were able to hook the water wastage pipe into our water tank so that it can be used on the bowling greens and garden.

If you haven’t sat solar side at sunset, you haven’t lived!
Thanks to the Inner West Stronger Communities Grant we have some solar lights to provide safety and comfort as you sit outside and enjoy your time at the PBC.

PBC donation to Wires Wildlife Rescue

PBC staff are generously donating their Janurary tips to Wires Wildlife Rescue.

Likewise, the money raised from the weekly meat and vege tray will also be going to Wires.

We have raised just over $800 so far.

Kids @ the PBC

Hi parents, whilst we do enjoy you bringing your children to the PBC so they can run around and you can relax, we do have some rules.

The main one is that you, the parent or guardian need to be with your child at all times. You are responsible for them and their behaviour.

We allow children to run around on the top green but NOT the bottom green. The bottom green is for adults who want to bowl. Please respect this and we will all live happily ever after.

Inner West Tool Library @ The Bowlo!
