Autumn is a lovely season for a having a beer outside on the bowling green after work or after picking up the kids. Remember the 2nd Friday of every month the PBC pays for a jumping castle for your family to come and enjoy!

Anzac day coming up next month, Saturday April 25th, will be a non-gambling and family friendly event, showcasing some spectacular New Zealand beers – put it in the diary people, it will be great.

I mention it below but I will mention it here as well for all you headline readers: Working Bee Saturday 14th at 8am, please come and get involved. I am sure you all know by now but as a reminder we are a not for profit community club that relies on, and loves the involvement of all our volunteers and supporters.

Check out our Facebook and Website for more details about the club and don’t forget to become a member! www.thepbc.org.au/join

We are starting a full bar renovation in July this year but before we get into it let me tell you that yes, we will still be open and trading.  We will still be slinging your favorite tipples and toddys and will need your consistent and loving support throughout this period. We will have temporary bars and fridges set up inside and on nice days, outside as well.

The reason for the bar renovation is that the floor was never sealed properly and it is time to do something about it before any major water damage/ issues arise. This means the bar area must be cleared in order to get into the nitty gritty of the floor. Whilst we are at it and things are being moved around we are going to change a few things to help increase flow and workspace. This means both a better workspace for employees and better flow for you thirsty customers on those busy days. As for aesthetics, we consider it very important to hold onto the PBCs current look and vibe and won’t be transforming into a shiney new run of the mill bar.

Also, we will be DOUBLING THE BEER TAPS. That’s right, if you had a hard time choosing between the 12 beers on offer now there will be 24 in the near future!

As you can imagine this will be a costly project and so we will be holding a few fundraising events over the next few months and we would love it if everyone came along and got involved. More about those events as soon as I plan them and please, stay tuned for more info on the bar situation as it unfolds. If you have any questions or queries please get in touch.

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. 

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

It’s working bee time friends! Please, come and give us a hand doing all the boring jobs we put off because we are busy doing fun jobs. Fun jobs like, carefully tasting and selecting fine beverages for your consumption, organizing fun days with giant slides and awesome bands for your pleasure, posting pictures of Carl on Instagram to win your hearts, etc.

Not so fun jobs but equally important are weeding, composting and painting.

We will start bright and early on Saturday 14th March at 8am (because of the painting) and be done by 11-12pm – just in time for beer-o’clock.

Please register your interest with Penny at manager@thepbc.org.au so I borrow the appropriate amount of paintbrushes from the Tool Library 

How great is this PBC merch! Also got a few bucket hats and 5 panel hats, come by and check them out!

There are limited kids sizes so best to come in and check them out at the club/ try them on.

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.
