April News
Our PBC flag fly's proudly once again as we push on into the second quarter of 2023. The Halyard's had been in dire need of replacing and a restoration was sorely needed to get it back up to scratch. We've also installed a brand new air conditioning system in the green room with dehumidifying capabilities. Warm in winter, cool in summer and dry all year round is the now highly achievable dream.
You might have noticed a lot of chatter in the press recently about us and our little community which all started with our "Pokies, Policy & Possibilities - an evening with Tim Costello" event we held last month. It has since grown and caught the attention of the wider community and media and we couldn't be more thrilled. These last few weeks our president George Catsi has been on ABC Radio Sydney, NZ Radio, Triple M Rush Hour, The Project tv, and The Today Show and has written an insightful and considered opinion piece for The Sydney Morning Herald which went viral and has been interviewed by Club Tic and News.com.
In the words of Tim Freedman, "We Blew up the Pokies!"
