Griffith Exies Club

What Griffith Exies Club does

Griffith Exies Club (legally The Griffith Ex-Servicemen's Club Ltd) is a member-owned community club founded in 1938 in Griffith, New South Wales, Australia. It operates three venues in the city: the Main Club at 6-12 Jondaryan Ave (dining, gaming, functions), the Sports Club (Sporties) at Speirs Street (casual dining, sports viewing, sporting-oval facilities), and the Bagtown Motel & Function Centre at 2-4 Blumer Ave (accommodation, functions up to 450 guests, La Scala Restaurant). The club serves local residents, sporting groups, regional visitors, and event hosts across the Riverina region.

The business model is based on six revenue streams: gaming (poker machines, TAB, Keno, Bingo, member promotions including Cash Card, Grocery Grab, Spin & Win, and Exies Extra Earnings), food and beverage across multiple dining venues, annual membership subscriptions (10% F&B discount, exclusive promotions, half-price taxi, free WiFi), accommodation (standard, family, spa, and premium rooms), functions and events, and a community contributions program (~$240,000 annually via the NSW ClubGRANTS scheme). Pricing is transaction-based for dining and accommodation, recurring for membership, and usage-based for gaming. Distribution is exclusively through physical venues in Griffith; no e-commerce or delivery offerings are in place.

The technology foundation is standard hospitality and club management infrastructure: poker machines, POS systems, TAB, Keno, and a marketing website (exies.com.au). There is no proprietary technology, no mobile app, no API, and no documented AI or digital differentiation. The club is governed by an elected Board of Directors under member-owned structure and is subject to NSW club regulations including gaming permits (e.g., TP/00566 valid through 2028) and ClubGRANTS financial disclosure obligations. A major round of renovations was completed in 2023-2024, refreshing the flagship venue.
