New Things Happening
Midlands is open, and it’s business as usual while we renovate.

Golf and bowls are carrying on as normal, with no interruption. The 13th View bar is open seven days, food trucks are here Wednesday to Sunday, and bingo, Friday nights, functions and the courtesy bus are all still running. 

Behind the scenes, the clubhouse is getting a major renovation. Over the next few months new spaces will open, a few things will move around, and the kitchen will take a break while it’s rebuilt. This page brings it all together, so you always know what’s on, what’s changed and what’s coming.

Bingo
Bingo keeps running right through the renovations. During November, sessions are held in the Members Lounge on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sundays. From mid December, bingo moves into its new room.
Functions and wakes
Functions and wakes carry on throughout the renovations. During November, wakes are held in the Members Lounge on Mondays and Tuesdays. If you have a function booked and want to check on timing, or you’re planning one, give us a call and we’ll talk you through the options.
What's Coming
These are our best estimates from the build program. Renovation work can take longer than planned, and some of it, like the weather, is out of our hands. If a date moves, we’ll update this page and do everything we can to accommodate everyone in the meantime.
