This isn't a secret. The people managing the club have been generally terrible. The irony is, the most qualified person we had involved in running our club, discounting Shane Richardson was Justin Pascoe. He knew how sporting organisations operated, he knew how to communicate with a board, and...

Can you give 1 example where they have? They are really good at finding clubs who are not compliant. But they don't have much of a track record at making clubs change their legal structure

This isn't being critical and isn't a criticism.. please don't confuse being critical with stating a legal fact.

Wasn't Ashfield I was referring to. But chatting to a few IT managers and gaming managers at other clubs, it was an industry wide thing

No. They have confirmed they will. And that this was agreed between HBG, Balmain and Wests Magpies

I'm not concerned. I'm merely stating the obvious. Reading the comments on the petition, many seem to thing the L&G can "force" the club to change etc etc And they cannot

Obviously, you had at one stage, the two Hargrove brothers plus the wife (Julie Romero) and then there is both Denny and Claire Burgess. With the passing of one of the brothers last year, the family connection has reduced. But let's face it, if people are members and they want their friends...

Things to learn about gaming. More machines doesn't always equate to more money! Spacing machines out, having the right machine in the right location A close friend is a gaming manager of a large club. Over COVID, they took machines out for spacing reasons. In a move that shocked, gaming...

Now that's the question! Let's be real, at most clubs, all members want is a cheap feed, a cold beer and to play on the pokies or turn up for bingo and the meat raffle. It's only ever a minority who ever bother turning up to the AGM My local club has 15,000 members. We fight to persuade 50 to...

Pokie entitlements value is set by the govt. It's not like a "highest bidder" value. The entitlement is like the licence to run a machine. They haven't changed in value much at all over recent years And don't confuse a physical pokie machine (the device you throw your money in) with the...

Good name calling there. No. I'm a Wests Tigers member who takes an interest in the owners of my club. And have done for many years ...

Every other club, the members nominate other members to positions on the board. No prerequisite there either. You just have to be a member. You could end up with Bob the bin man whose never seen a spreadsheet, or read a financial report in his life That's how club boards work. And a club I...

Ha ha ha. Still no.

Just like if you Google Search for their constitution and their by laws.... Also in the public domain

If you google search "Holman Barnes Group Financial Results" you'll find they are in the public domain No, I'm not a HBG member

I'm not a new user here. I registered here ages ago, but re registered last year when I swapped email accounts (I got locked out of my old account)

As part of the Amalgamation Markets Club - 60 Wests Ashfield - 475 Croydon Sports - 45 Before Five Dock closed in 2018 there were a further 30 (these ones I understand were sold,) When Rozelle closed in 2010 there were just 75 machines left Now, the entitlements.... In other words, the...

Ha ha ha Again. No. Just someone who is watching and doing some research before jumping to conclusions. The Club's Act and Liquor and Gaming pages are fascinating reading....as is reading freely available information online, like Annual Reports or Constitutions I also don't lay claim to have...
