A Message from Our Secretary Manager

Most clubs on the Northern Beaches are subsidised by poker machines. Gaming revenue quietly funds the cheap drinks, the discounted meals, and the renovations.

The Bally doesn't generate a single dollar from gaming. That's a deliberate choice, and one we're proud of — but it does mean our memberships cost a little more than some venues you might be used to.

We think what you get in return is worth it.

Over the past few months, we've invested over $90,000 into transforming The Bally into somewhere you're genuinely proud to bring friends and family:

• A brand new pizza oven and entirely new menu developed by our Hatted Chef

• Service buzzers so your food and drinks come to you

• A fully serviced coolroom, new ice machine, and refreshed postmix system

• New linen, commercial fairy lighting, and 18 round banquet tables for functions

• Expanded outdoor seating and upgraded membership systems

• Green 1 overhaul - yep she’s looking mint!

We're not done. On the list for 2025: upgraded female bathrooms, better lighting, more outdoor seating, and additional outdoor fencing.

Every membership goes directly back into this club — for bowlers, for families, for the whole Northern Beaches community.

We think it's worth it. Do you?

If you've been in recently and noticed the difference, this is how you help us keep going. Thank you for your support.
