What we are going to do is open up Swinburne Avenue on the occasional Friday night to show the footy, NRL and anything else on TV that might be on worth watching.

The first Friday night session will be Friday 27th April from 5.30pm … perfectly timing for an after work drink, chat or whatever. We also have the pool table available for the odd game if you so wish.

Viewing choices on the TV include:

• Western Bulldogs vs Carlton from 7.50pm
• Penrith Panthers vs Canterbury Bulldogs from 7.55pm

Last we ended up getting food delivered most times ranging from Pizza to Ribs and Burgers.

So get on down to the club next Friday for a fun night.
