Gosford RSL has celebrated the first anniversary of the opening of its club building with balloons, confetti and the giveaway of a new Toyota RAV4.
The party, held on Tuesday, March 25, brought together members, staff and special guests for a night full of fun and surprises.
The star of the show was club member Craig Edwards, who drove away with the new car as part of the club’s Hip Hip Hooray – Our Birthday, Your Wish promotion.
CEO Russell Cooper said the night was about more than just a birthday.
“It’s been a big year for the club, and this celebration was our way of thanking our members and guests who’ve supported us through this new chapter,” he said.
“We’ve grown a lot in the last 12 months, learned a lot too — and it’s the community that’s made the new Gosford RSL feel like home.”
Over the past year thousands of locals and visitors have poured through the doors for live shows in The Gallery, family meals in The Gardens, footy and beers in The Grandstand, and plenty of laughs and catch-ups along the way.
The club’s on-site Oak Haven Brewery has even collected a few awards along the way, adding a local flavour to every pour.
Any big move comes with its learning curves, and the team hasn’t shied away from that.
From understanding what works best for members to adjusting systems and spaces, the club has taken every challenge in stride and used it to improve.
“Moments like that remind us why we’re here — to bring people together, to celebrate community, and to keep making this club a place where everyone feels welcome,” Cooper said.
With more shows, promotions and community moments planned, the team at the club is excited for what’s to come.
