From the CEO

From the CHAIRMAN

I begin this report with a sense of gratitude and pride that Ettalong Diggers has only grown stronger over the course of the last few years. Ours is an exceptional club with an extraordinary history and a promising future. Throughout a period of profound political and economic change around the world, our club has been steadfast in our dedication to the members, guests and community we represent.

This year Ettalong Diggers celebrates its seventy year anniversary. Looking back, we have never really commented on the road we have travelled since 1948, or our accomplishments and challenges along the way.

Mr Bill Jackson

In 1948 Ettalong Beach War Memorial Club opened its doors to the community.

Seventy years on and the club has many wonderful stories and memories and is still as important to the community as it was seventy years ago. Of course the original building has changed in many ways, but our values and traditions of supporting veterans and their families and the community itself is still as relevant in 2018.

Mr JOHN WOOD

The Ettalong Diggers business model is our platform for success. I have always believed that when it comes to defining and communicating a club’s vision and goals, conciseness is a virtue.

We continuously focus on: •

Quality – exceptional quality delights our members and is essential to membership growth and retention.

Our entertainment program and catering department are consistently striving to offer the best and most affordable options for all our members.

Looking to the future, and our next stage of growth, it is important to remember what first inspired this club to succeed.

•

Service – at Ettalong Diggers, service is not simply a concept. It’s how we develop and maintain customer loyalty.

We have been preparing the club for some time of upcoming renovations and just after Easter you will start to see it unfolding.

•

• Innovation – it is the driving force behind our long term growth. We want to continue to be the leaders

The pictures shown on this page are artist impressions of the Sports Bar and Riley’s Bar and we are excited to share them with our members and guests.

We also make community involvement a top priority. Our reputation for community involvement attracts great team members, great customers, and even greater opportunities. It is a key to our long-term success.

It’s an exciting time here at Ettalong Diggers. Our construction project is now taking shape. We appreciate your patience, support and understanding during this transition.

From 1948 to 2018 …..While the physical shape of Ettalong Beach War Memorial Club has and continues to evolve, our identity and values remains thanks to the thousands of members who form part of the community we are proud to serve.

and are always on a path of continuous improvement.

I am continually impressed by the resourcefulness and entrepreneurial quality displayed by our team and the exceptional value they bring to this club. This allows us to deliver outstanding customer service to members and guests who can count on us to carry out our promises.

Our staff and executive team at Ettalong Diggers are regularly assessing and reviewing our member’s needs, the promotions and entertainment we offer, and the effectiveness of what we provide.

Looking to the future, and our next stage of growth, it is important to remember what first inspired this club to succeed.

RSL Clubs in their various forms (Diggers, Legion, ANZAC, Soldiers, Memorial, SS&A, etc) share a common history, a common purpose and a common place in the hearts and minds of Australians. Lest we forget.

“MENOPAUSE THE MUSICAL” - is set around four women with seemingly nothing in common but a black lace bra on sale, come to find they have more to share than ever imagined. The cast makes fun of their woeful hot flashes, forgetfulness, mood swings, wrinkles, night sweats and chocolate binges.

A sisterhood is created between these diverse women as they realise that Menopause is a stage in every woman’s life, which is perfectly normal!

Men love it too! This hilarious musical parody staged to classic tunes from the ‘60s, ‘70s and ‘80s will have you singing, dancing and laughing!

However, their rivalry grows even more heated when they both fall in love with a new neighbor (Rose Byrne) who adores animals.

The stubborn and naughty Peter Rabbit (voiced by James Corden) causes chaos in the home and garden of an irritable human named Mr. McGregor (Domhnall Gleeson).

Directed by Will Gluck. Daisy Ridley, Elizabeth Debicki, and Margot Robbie also lend their voices to this comedy, which is based on the children’s stories by Beatrix Potter
