Notice to Members: Proposed Clubhouse Renovations

Notice to Members: Proposed Clubhouse Renovations
Members are advised that the Club will be holding a special information session at 6pm on Monday 13th December in the Camus Cross Room. The purpose of the session is to consult with, and seek input from Members on a proposed major renovation to the Clubhouse. The proposal is extensive and includes major changes to the Members Lounge, the Bar, Café, TAB, Member’s Bar, Bistro, Al Fresco and the outdoor terrace.   
 
The Club has engaged BSPN Architects who will formally present to Members the current concept plans, its key features and Member experience objectives.  
 
Members are advised that the plans are at masterplan stage only, and that to progress to the next stage (detailed design) it is now appropriate to consult with Members. This is an important Member consultation process and I encourage Members to attend. As refreshments and light catering options will be provided, Members are required to RSVP via the booking system here.
