Club Windang

What Club Windang does

Club Windang is a community-based registered club operating under the NSW Registered Clubs Act 1975 in the coastal suburb of Windang in the Illawarra region of New South Wales, Australia. Originally established in 1949 as the Windang Bowling Club, it has operated continuously for more than 75 years and functions as the only registered club in Windang. The venue combines a multi-outlet hospitality floor — two restaurants (BAR 2 SIX, a rebranded casual-dining concept refreshed with a new logo in July 2025, and Wok & Grill Asian Bistro), a main bar, gaming facilities including TAB and Sportspick, and poker tournament programming — with a 20-room accommodation property, Resort on Cedar, located adjacent to the club.

The club operates a membership model with two tiers: Social membership at A$7 per year and Bowls membership at A$120 per year, with a board of directors providing governance and Life Members recognised as part of the community structure. Its core technology differentiator is the recently introduced Augmented Reality Darts entertainment product, which sits alongside conventional barefoot bowls, functions and events, gaming machines, and a courtesy bus service that expands the effective catchment across surrounding suburbs.

Revenue is generated across F&B, gaming (machine, TAB, Sportspick), poker tournaments, accommodation, barefoot bowls, functions, and membership subscriptions. The company reinvests into the venue through ongoing capital projects, with recent investment focused on the Resort on Cedar build-out, the BAR 2 SIX rebrand, AR Darts installation, and partnership-based fundraising with local sporting clubs. A Gaming Plan of Management was filed in September 2023 to formalise gaming operations and harm-minimisation commitments under NSW regulation.

Revenue model

1. Food & Beverage Sales: The club operates two dining venues: BAR 2-SIX (all-day dining with cocktail bar, pizzas, burgers, cocktails, and lake views) and Wok & Grill Bistro (Asian and Western cuisine including schnitzels, steaks, seafood, and kids meals). Both restaurants serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner, generating the majority of venue revenue through covers, bar sales, and takeaway.
2. Membership Fees: The club generates recurring membership revenue through two tiers: Social Membership ($7/1yr, $18/3yr, $25/5yr) and Full Bowls Membership ($120/yr with locker). Membership runs July 1 to June 30 annually. Members receive discounts on food and drinks, easy entry access, and a birthday meal voucher. Membership fees contribute to operating revenue and build a loyal customer base.
3. Gaming Machines & TAB: The Sports Lounge features TAB and Sportspick facilities alongside gaming machines, generating revenue through gaming machine turnover and wagering activity. The club's Gaming Plan of Management (September 2023) governs responsible gambling operations under NSW legislation.
4. Function & Event Hire: Revenue is generated from hiring out function spaces including the Auditorium (half or full room, 5-hour hire), Front Green outdoor area ($50 deposit per table as club voucher), Barefoot Bowls sessions ($20/person for 2 hours with instructor), and Augmented Reality Darts ($30/30min, $50/hr). Catering for functions is provided by Wok & Grill and BAR 2-SIX, with platters and grazing options.
5. Accommodation (Resort on Cedar): The club's adjacent accommodation property, Resort on Cedar, generates lodging revenue with 20 rooms: 2 accessible rooms, 8 Cedar View rooms, 2 Green View rooms, and 8 Pool View rooms. Rooms feature kitchenettes, king beds, bunk beds, and sofa beds, accommodating up to 6 guests per unit. Amenities include a heated pool, BBQ area, and free WiFi. A $200 pre-authorization hold is placed at check-in.
6. Poker Tournament Entry Fees: Weekly poker tournaments generate entry fee revenue: Sunday Punisher ($20 entry or $65 freezeout, $2,000 guaranteed), Thursday Freeroll (free entry, $1,000 guaranteed), and Friday Deepstack ($35 entry, $3,000 guaranteed). Re-entry and add-on fees at various price points contribute additional revenue.
