MEMBERSHIP
FROM THE CEO You might have noticed that things are changing around your Club. Not huge things, but small changes, tweaks to the menu, subtle decoration changes and a few new staff. These changes are part of an ongoing program of improvement planned for the Club over the next 12-18 months with the goal to become the best Membership Club, business venue and function host in Brisbane. Excellence is at the core of every change we are making and the team and I are dedicated to improving the Club in a way that adds value back to your Membership, so we want your feedback and value your engagement in this process of continuous improvement. Many of the changes we will be making centre around the delivery of food and beverage. The way we present the food, the theming of our venues and the flavour of the menu are in the process of being updated and modernised. Over the coming months Chef David will showcase what his team can do, bringing in the freshest produce from boutique butchers and
farms and creating dishes that are relevant to the event and season. We are putting the Member at the heart of every decision we make. So, before we bring in these changes, we will always consider first the impact on the Member. If it’s a positive thing then we’ll roll it out but if you find that you’re not enjoying the changes or have suggestions, please speak up and we will do our best to incorporate your feedback. In a bid to improve our communication in this and other areas of the club, we will be exploring how we can engage with you more using digital services. This includes an overhaul of the website to enable booking functions for both the restaurant and accommodation, and a more user-friendly experience. Did you know we have 18 boutique rooms and as a Member you can book your work colleagues, friends and extended family into these rooms?
We have one of the best locations in the City, full food and beverage service, plus gym and amenities with a level of privacy and amenity that simply can’t be matched anywhere else in Brisbane. Modernising and upgrading the Tattersall’s accommodation is a big-ticket item in our improvement program, along with plans to upgrade the Members’ Bar and install a new events software management system. We are also employing a Director of Sales for our corporate catering packages and now have a dedicated Events Planner on staff. So next time you’re planning a function, wedding, business event or even lunch in the city, why not consider Tattersall’s as your first option? David Bark, CEO

While attending a Legacy function at Tattersall’s Club, Meredith Wyles mentioned she had the 1885 Tattersall’s Cup at her Adelaide home. Following this revelation, the Club’s CEO David Bark flew down to Adelaide to collect the Cup and transported it back to Brisbane. The Cup is currently getting restored to its original condition by Hardy Brothers Jewellers in preparation for Tattersall’s Tiara Race Day.
