Thanks everyone for joining us for our annual community Xmas party last Sunday! We had a hoot and hope you did too. Thank you to local legend volunteer Santa who can hopefully make all the things he promised come true…

We are almost all booked up for December luncheons but do have a few spots left so if you want to convince your work place to come to the best place on earth for Christmas fun times, do It soon.

Please note that our last day of trade for the year is Sunday 22nd December and we have a quite a bit of packing up to do so will be shutting up shop early. Bistro 4pm and bar 6pm. We will be reopening Friday 10th January and it is conveniently convene on the green for any of you parents looking for free child friendly jumping castle fun.

Last night Penny and I went to the Green Globe Awards as finalists but we didn't win. The Green Globes are the states highest environmental awards and for the club to reach the finals is amazing. We were in the lifetime achievement category for over 10 years of sustained commitment to sustainability (Did I just use sustain and sustainability in the same sentence? We must be serious about it.)

The PBC is a special place, well I think it is. From taking on a failed club 13 years ago to turning it into the thriving community it is now, is to be celebrated. I believe sustainability is not just environmental but financial and cultural. Each feeds into the other to create communities that I think are liveable. The sustainability of communities comes about when all these align. The club works to bring people together, to interact and to collectively work to make our small pocket of the world a decent place to live. I'd like to think a micro-example of how we could all get together across our cities and country.

Our being finalists reflects the recognition that what is happening at the PBC is noticed. To achieve this you have to think smart about how to bring all the elements together. Becoming Pokie free in 2007 underpins this. Pokies don't just deplete us societally for what they take from people they are anti-innovation and inherently anti-business as they make clubs and pubs that have them, lazy. The PBC (and other pokie-free places) need to think all the time on how we stay relevant - keep working the club so that people still want to come. This is the fuller picture of sustainability. The juggling of ideas and the pulling of all the threads of environmental, financial, cultural and community to find better smarter ways to do things, that doesn't literally cost the earth. Thanks to everyone at the PBC and our community for the story so far.

Final show this Saturday Dec 7th

It’s Christmas and Gods Cowboys are holding a Surprise Party for Jesus.

Gods Cowboys are back in their new show after their triumphant sold out reunion shows in February. A comedic and musical tour-de-force that formed it's own genre Cowbaret.

Tickets now on sale here

With Christmas almost upon us we’re reminded there’s something about Mary, and definitely something about her wonderkid, Jesus. When you’re born in a barn with the world’s most famous donor Dad, you’re gold star hipster. I mean Jesus had followers BEFORE Insta.

Join the Cowboys when they saddle up riding rough shod over the rocky religious terrain and shiny corporate bauble that is Christmas - Holy Cowbaret ...this is genre diverse...and not everybody’s gonna like it! Like our Father of Christmas Island, our tenacious PM...

‘I haven’t seen these boys but if it’s religious, I back it’, Sco Mo.

But others, (the truly liberal) have a different take on the three horsemen of the Chris-pocalypse. When they galloped out of the dust earlier this year it was hailed as something of a resurrection. Although it took a little more than 3 days for their rock to roll back. In fact it had been 23 years since the three comedy evangelists roamed the comedy plains of Australia. After watching seminal Aussie trios like DAAS reform they had an epiphany: ‘ ‘threesomes are back!’ Not ones to miss out on the fun God’s Cowboys are back for the rapture.

Carol Wimmer from Sydney Art’s Guide was definitely part of the recaptured herd:

“Gods Cowboys have arisen! And what a resurrection...their brand of wicked parody and caustic satire is even more ‘now’ than it may have been ‘then’.. 25th February 2019

*Claus: Due to the modern construct of comparative mythology any divine promises are relative and therefore, may not be binding.

Gods Cowboys are our very own PBC President George Catsi, David Delves and John Knowles

A new bunch of merch has just come in! Come and grab a T-shirt or hat for yourself or a friend as a nice Xmas present!

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.

Recently the IWTL was highly commended for Community Spirit and Inclusion at the Keep Australia Beautiful NSW awards! Great work team!

Open Saturdays from 9am-12pm but you can browse the catalogue online HERE – don’t forget to become a member!
