Dear Members,
Welcome to the Autumn edition of our Members Magazine! As the cooler Canberra months set in, we have an exciting calendar of events and promotions ahead.
We’re celebrating our biggest reward year yet, kicking off with 3 Cars in 3 Months—win a Toyota Yaris Cross at Tuggeranong, Jamison, or Woden in April, May, and June.
Easter is just around the corner, with delicious seafood platters and an eggciting Easter hunt planned. Spend the long weekend enjoying great food and fun for the entire family.
Kids’ Month returns in April, packed with fun activities, and we have special celebrations for Mother’s Day in May. Being a family Club, it always gives me great pleasure to see so many families utilising all our venues. I have very fond memories of having dinner in the Golden Grille with my family back in the 80s, when my father worked on the door!
Tuggeranong stage two is in full swing, with our refurbishment progressing well, ‘Southbound’, a state-of-theart sports bar, parrilla grill and an all-electric kitchen is set to open by mid-July. I can’t wait to invite you all to see your new Club.
Our Health and Wellness team has fantastic offers coming up, including 4 weeks free at Stellar Learn to Swim and $1 per week for 5 weeks at Anytime Fitness.
And I can’t forget the highlight of our calendar is the 10th annual Chefs Signature Dinner on 16 May—an evening of exceptional food, wine, and entertainment.
As usual, there is a great line up of shows and themed dinners over the coming months, which are sure to tantalise all tastebuds, you can read about all we have on offer in the following pages and book in venue, over the phone or online at cscc.com.au
From all the team at the Canberra Southern Cross Club, we hope 2025 brings health and happiness to our members and our community. We look forward to seeing you around your venues.

Tuggeranong’s Transformation: Stage Two in Full Swing!
Exciting changes are unfolding at Tuggeranong as Stage Two of our highly anticipated renovation moves ahead at full speed!
With the club’s interior completely stripped back and fresh new walls rising, Southbound—our brand-new pub within a club—is beginning to take shape.
This stage marks the most ambitious phase of our three-part transformation, featuring Southbound’s vibrant atmosphere complete with a massive LED screen and skylight, as well as Henry’s Family Restaurant, a state-of-the-art parrilla grill, a brand-new kitchen, bar, and café. Sports fans will also love the updated TAB and sports bar.

A heartfelt thank you to our members for your patience during this period of change—we know there have been some disruptions to operations, parking, and access to the Anytime Fitness gym, but we’re confident the end result will be well worth it.
Your support means the world to us, and we appreciate your ongoing patience.

Ylaria Rogers: Inspiring Movement and Community Through Group Exercise at Stellar Canberra
Can you tell us about your role as a Group Exercise Instructor and what you love most about it?
When I moved from Personal Training to Group Exercise, I fell in love with the community. I love teaching Rhythm and Flexibility. I believe finding the way that speaks to your body, music that moves your soul, and an instructor who inspires you makes all the difference.
What makes Group Exercise such a powerful way to stay active and healthy?
Movement is not about ‘getting it right’, it is about connecting with the beat and letting your heart follow the music. Group Exercise is powerful because it brings people together to engage both heart and mind.
What success stories have you seen from members attending Group Exercise classes at Stellar Canberra?
When a member smiles and says, “I needed that,” I know we have succeeded. It is about finding moments to relax, express, move, or reconnect with strength.
