How a club night works
Two bands, one night
A local early band warms up the room, often young players who won their category at the local Performing Arts Festival. Then the main band takes the stage.
Start times
| Season | Early band | Main band |
|---|---|---|
| April – September | 6:00 pm | 7:30 pm |
| October – March | 6:30 pm | 8:00 pm |
When a big band plays on its own, everything starts half an hour earlier.
Tickets
$25 / members $20
A courtesy bus runs on gig nights. Phone the Condong Bowling Club on 02 6672 2238 to arrange a pick-up.
