From your Chairman
Hello Members
Welcome to the summer
edition of YOURS. The
Christmas festive season
in nearly upon us and that
is a wonderful time of the
year to visit your Club for
a catch up with family and
friends. Our three Club sites
offer excellent amenities in
a relaxed atmosphere so do
visit any of them over the
festive season and enjoy the hospitality offered by our staff.
DOOLEYS Christmas Fair will again be held at Wyatt Park
Lidcombe on Sunday 7 December in support of the Oncology
Unit of The Children’s Hospital Westmead. This is our annual
major fundraiser for the hospital and is always a great day out!
Members and their families are all invited to attend and enjoy
the amusement rides, Christmas fun, and market stalls, and of
course a visit from Santa Claus. So do come along and support
this wonderful cause.
Year in Review
As can be seen from the Annual Report, the DOOLEYS Group
had another strong year of growth in all areas of the business.
Stage1 of our Master Plan was completed and officially opened
in June giving Members a revamped Club with additional first
class facilities. With any redevelopment, disruption will occur
but if properly managed, it can be kept to a minimum. And so it
was as DOOLEYS and I congratulate our staff for managing the
issue in a professional manner allowing Members to continue to
enjoy the Club’s facilities.
Since the builders have left the site and normality returned, your
Club has been trading well and we look forward to increased
patronage over the festive season.
Our commitment to our local community and beyond continued
throughout the year, supporting worthwhile long term
partnerships and this will undoubtedly continue into the future.
At the Annual General Meeting held on 22 October 2014,
CEO David Mantle gave Members an overview of what our site
could look like into the future. With the purchase of property in
Board St and Ann St, the security of the Club’s expansion is
assured. There is much work to be done with the Property &
Development Committee, in consultation with our architects and
building consultants, planning of the site will continue into 2015.
Members will be kept informed of any developments via
these pages.
2014 Clubs NSW Conference
This year’s Clubs NSW Conference was again attended by
Directors and our Senior Management. During the Conference,
delegates were addressed by the Premier of NSW, the Hon
Mike Baird and Gaming & Racing Minister, the Hon Troy Grant.
For an industry to attract two senior members of the NSW
Government to its conference, reinforces the significant role
that Clubs play in their communities. The Premier in his address
emphasised the important role that Clubs play in the lives of so
many people across NSW, from employment, to community
support or simply having a drink with friends, Clubs like
DOOLEYS have deep community roots and are the fabric of our
society in NSW. The Government also signed a Memorandum
of Understanding (MOU) with Clubs NSW on a package of
measures which will deliver economic stability, confidence and
growth for the Club industry and the wider community. Key
measures in the MOU include a commitment to maintaining
the current Club gaming tax, strengthening the ClubGRANTS
local committee system to make it easier for community groups
to apply for grants, and consideration be given by the NSW
Government on whether ClubsGRANTS funds can be used to
assist in providing community care services. These and the other
range of measures announced, will allow us to proceed with
confidence as we plan for the future.
Elections 2014
At the Annual General Meeting held on 22 October 2014,
our CEO announced the result of the uncontested election
for 2014. Under the Tri-Annual Rule, this year there were two
positions to be contested, and as the number of nominations
accepted did not exceed the number of positions to be filled,
current Directors Christopher Cassidy and John Munce were
elected. On behalf of Chris and myself, I thank Members for
your support over the years and the confidence you place in
us in governing the business. Our Board numbers have been
reduced to eight with a further reduction to seven by 2016.
These changes were approved by Members at the
2013 Annual General Meeting.
Conclusion
Another year is about to close, and we wonder where the time
has gone. On behalf of the Board, Management, and Staff may
I take this opportunity to wish you all a very happy and Holy
Christmas. Christmas is about family and friends and we must
not forget Members who have lost loved ones during the year,
and to those on the sick list, we wish you a speedy recovery.
Best wishes to you all. See you around the Club.

DECEMBER 2014 – FEBRUARY 2015
From your CEO
Welcome to the Summer
Edition of YOURS.
Annual General Meeting
DOOLEYS AGM was held
on Wednesday 22 October
2014 and attended by 72
Members.
Members are advised that
the two current Directors
of the Club were re-elected
unopposed.
I take this opportunity to congratulate John Munce and
Chris Cassidy on their reappointed as Directors and thank
Members for their recognition of the exceptional performance,
commitment and contribution of the current board.
The Ordinary and Special Resolutions as circulated in the
meeting notice were all approved by Members at the AGM.
Members were also provided with a property update, specifically
in regard to property acquired between Board & Anne Streets
Lidcombe, an expression of interest from the Club to Council
over acquiring part of Board St Lidcombe (from No’s 10-28)
and development concepts for the next stage of expansion on
the Lidcombe site.
Members were briefed on the potential opportunities for
inclusion within the Club as detailed in property advice by Urbis
and from recent Member consultation.
There will be detailed and ongoing consultation with Members,
community and council over the upcoming month’s as plans
evolve with a view to providing a Stage 1 DA and conceptual site
Masterplan within approximately 6 months.
DOOLEYS Christmas Fair
Our annual DOOLEYS Christmas Fair will be held on Sunday
7 December 2014 at Wyatt Park, Lidcombe from 10.00am
to 4.00pm. This wonderful family event is filled with
entertainment, food and market stalls, amusement rides and
activities for the kids.
All proceeds from stall hire, amusement rides and raffles will be
donated to the Oncology Department of The Children’s Hospital
at Westmead.
Please join us for a great day and help us to raise much needed
funds to support children living with cancer.
Community events
We recently hosted the annual ‘Thank You’ donor celebrations
of The Children’s Hospital at Westmead. This event honours
the contributions made by businesses (including DOOLEYS)
and individuals to various areas within the Hospital. In recent
years DOOLEYS has donated in excess of $710,000 to
The Children’s Hospital at Westmead and are a Benefactor
of the Hospital.
DOOLEYS is a Major Sponsor of the Auburn City Council’s
Sports Awards, which were hosted at Lidcombe on
14 November. This was a great night with local sports
stars recognised for their outstanding performances and
achievements during the year.
On 3 December, DOOLEYS will be sponsoring and hosting
the Auburn Review’s School Citizenship Awards. Invitations to
participate have been sent to all schools within the Auburn LGA
with each school able to nominate a student who can be of any
age, from kindergarten to year 12. Awards will be won based
on either academic, sporting or community accomplishments
throughout 2014, and we wish all nominees the best of luck.
We will also be sponsoring Auburn Council’s Lunar New Year
Festival in February as well as the TET Festival celebrations in
Fairfield from 27 February to 1 March and hope to see as many
Members as possible at both of these significant annual events.
8 Dragons
Members are advised that the 8 Dragons Restaurant will change
management from a Club operation to a license agreement with
All Seasons Catering.
All Seasons Catering headed by Michael Lau is highly regarded
industry specialist who currently operate within Castle Hill RSL,
Merrylands RSL and Seven Hills RSL.
Michael and his team’s expertise will help improve the Member
offer and experience in 8 Dragons.
The transition will be effective from 1 December 2014.
With Christmas nearly upon us I would like to take this
opportunity, on behalf of all staff, to thank Members for your
support and loyalty throughout the year and wish you and your
families a safe and happy Christmas and New Year.
Until the next edition, please continue to enjoy your Clubs.

Annual General Meeting
Education for Directors
DOOLEYS’ Annual General Meeting (AGM) was held at
DOOLEYS Lidcombe on Wednesday 22 October. Members
voted on a list of resolutions as set out in the Notice of Annual
General Meeting, all of which were passed. One resolution
included updating and amending the Club’s Constitution, with
the newly updated Constitution now available to view on the
website: www.dooleys.com/constitution
All Directors attended the ClubsNSW Conference held in
October which included seminars and information sessions
on innovation and current topics affecting the Club industry.
A number of Directors will also attend the Governance Institute
Conference in late November to improve their knowledge in this
area for the benefit of the Club.
At the AGM, current Directors John Munce and Chris Cassidy
were re-elected unopposed, so we congratulate them both on
their continuing appointment to the Board of Directors.

Club Chaplain’s Message
Welcome to the Christmas and
Summer edition of our magazine.
With this joyous but often hectic
season upon us, I would like to
remind you all of the true meaning
of Christmas – the birth of Christ our
Lord. Christmas is a time for family
and friends, togetherness and for
renewing our faith in anticipation of the new year ahead.
Christmas at St Joachims
There are lots of Christmas activities here in our parish, and
we hope you can join us. We are excited and proud to be
celebrating 130 years of the parish throughout 2015.
During the festive season, we will hold our annual 9 days of
Novena Dawn Masses before Christmas day. This will start
on Tuesday 16 December at 5.30am, followed by a hearty
free breakfast in the hall. Different types of breakfast will be
prepared, ranging from continental English breakfast to Filipino,
Vietnamese, Korean, Chinese, Tongan, Indian, Italian, Irish,
Kiwi… and the real Aussie brekkie. Celebrating Dawn Masses is
a beautiful and meaningful way to prepare one’s heart and mind
for Christmas. In this Mass and prayers, we reflect on the days
prior to the birth of Jesus our Savior and the meaning of this in
our daily lives.

YOURS
DECEMBER 2014 – FEBRUARY 2015
Our Parish Christmas Party will be held on Saturday 13
December from 6.30pm in the Parish Hall. We encourage
everyone to come along, bring a plate of food and some drinks
to be shared by everyone. A minimal amount of food and drinks
will be provided by the parish. There will be raffles and lucky
Christmas prizes for everyone, especially for the kids. Our parish
youth will spearhead the program with fun and games and
dances. So, come and enjoy the Christmas party with us.
At 7.00pm on Christmas Eve there will be a Children’s
Christmas Pageant. Children and toddlers are invited to
participate. We encourage your children to take part in one of
the many different roles… the baby Jesus, angels, shepherds,
the holy family, in-keepers, sheep, wise men etc. Rehearsals will
be held on the two Saturdays prior to Christmas Eve.
We will host Carols by Candlelight inside the church before
the start of midnight Mass on Christmas Eve. Christmas Day
Masses will be held at 8.00am, 10.00am and 5.00pm. There
will be the Sacrament of Reconciliation prior to Christmas every

During September we celebrated USA Month at DOOLEYS.
The month-long festivities included USA themed trivia,
delicious USA food specials at Lloyd’s Bistro and
John St Café, as well a range of entertainment highlights
including free shows in the Members Lounge.
Disco Inferno, featuring the exuberant Mike Mathieson
and his dancers brought Studio 54 back to life, and Kevin A
Legend presented his tribute to some of the best the good
old U S of A has to offer.
The Statue of Liberty and Uncle Sam appeared at different
times distributing goodies, and strolling musicians entertained
with their Dixieland sounds.
The month was wrapped up with the barrel draw on
Wednesday 1 October when the Jeep Cherokee was won by
one of our regular DOOLEYS Members, Ruth Eamiguel.

Burlinson’s renditions of Sinatra’s best known ballads
were smooth and mellow, while his up-tempo, big band
classics were rousing and joyous. The final songs, ‘My

their feet and cheering.
Amanda Wilson from Strathfield summed up the mood of

Our audiences for Musical Memories have
made it clear over the years who their favourite
entertainers are and Ian Blakeney is certainly
one of them.
Ian possesses a fine light baritone which
sits comfortably with music of many styles.
Add his boyish charm and the amazing
arrangements produced from his keyboard,
and it was no wonder that the audience
enjoyed his selection. Some were even heard
to occasionally join in the singing.
As always, the afternoon tea was a hit and
added to another afternoon of enjoyable
entertainment.
It has been called the race that stops the nation and for three minutes on
Cup Day, it did just that. All eyes at DOOLEYS were on the screens as
Protectionist romped over the line to take the coveted prize.
The race was the culmination of a day of festivities, both in the Members
Lounge and in the Wattle/Waratah room where sweeps were won,
raffles drawn, hats paraded, fine food relished and fun had by all.
Entertainment in the Members Lounge was supplied by the ever popular
Re Groove Duo while in the Wattle/Waratah rooms, Cheryl Duroux kept
the event rolling along while Brian King provided the music.

Improve
your health
and wellbeing!
Look no further than your local community for a
fantastic program to help promote healthy living and
active lifestyles.
Auburn City Council’s Healthy Community Initiative (HCI) has
been developed to address the risk factors associated with
Auburn’s leading identified chronic diseases including Type 2
diabetes, cardiovascular disease and obesity.
After the initial success of the HCI pilot program in 2013-14,
DOOLEYS is excited to be involved and provide continued
funding for this essential community program. The program
offers a broad range of activities including fitness for women,
fitness for seniors, cycling, resistance and cardiovascular
training.
“HCI has produced a range of exciting results in the community,
such as improved knowledge and skills about healthy and active
living and the importance of a balanced diet,” said Council’s
Community Development Manager Brooke Endycott.
This is reflected in the return participation of 2013 program
attendees, the reduction of weight and BMI among the
participants and their improvement in balance and strength.
Participants indicated they are now sleeping better, some
have decreased their medication and many claim to feel more
connected to the community and have built new friendships
within their exercise groups.
The program will continue in 2015 and we encourage you all to
get involved. As a result of funding from DOOLEYS all Term 1,
2015 healthy communities programs will be offered for FREE.

First time success for
local refugee soccer team
A grand final appearance is something that many
teams dream of but never achieve in their lifetime.
For this unique Newington Gunners Soccer
team, it is a testament to their courage, skill
and determination.
They came to the Club’s attention as a group of men looking
for a club to play with, but had no resources. All these potential
players were recent arrivals to Australia as refugees. They were
just catching up in a local park to play the game they love and at
least for that time, forget about their everyday worries.
Club Registrar, Andrew Hirschhorn wanted to give them an
opportunity to play and so invited them into the Newington
Gunners Club, along with some sponsorship from equipment
suppliers and an anonymous benefactor.
“From the start they played their games with passion and skill
and contributed to club duties,” said Gunners Secretary Ben
Nilsson. “These guys have battled incredible adversity to take
the field, compete and win the All Age Mens 6 competition.”
“To say that we, as a club, are proud to have a Champion team
in our midst, is an under-statement. We are overjoyed for them,
their team and their community. It demonstrates what a great
leveller sport can be.”
12 YOURS
DECEMBER 2014 – FEBRUARY 2015
Finishing the regular season in 1st place was an outstanding
achievement. They won their semi-final and set up a Grand Final
showdown against Granville Waratahs. Despite going in
at halftime 0-1, they managed to claw back 2 goals, the winner
in stoppage time to win 2-1. This was the Gunners first grand
final win!
Whilst the season is over for players, the Committee is working
hard to make 2015 an even bigger and better year for players.
One of the big changes is the collaboration between Newington
Soccer Club and Australian Youth Football Academy to be
able to provide players with a holistic program to develop better
opportunities for players in the Newington, Wentworth Point,
Silverwater and surrounding areas.
This means all players will have access to better coaching and
for the better players, a pathway to achieve their full potential in
The World Game.
Registrations for 2015 start 2nd January. Teams from age 3 to
Adult Male, Female and mixed teams are available.

Auburn’s Community
Kitchen with a difference
The Salvation Army Auburn has developed a unique
concept to help some of the most disadvantaged in
our local community – the Auburn Connect Community
Kitchen.
This new community kitchen serves two main purposes.
Not only does it provide a nutritious meal for those in our local
community who cannot afford to provide for themselves, it also
offers a unique employment pathway for local refugees and
asylum seekers.
“This restaurant provides delicious meals for our local
disadvantaged residents in a warm, safe and happy place,”
said Salvation Army Captain Nesan Kistan.
“It also provides a work experience opportunity for at least
150 refugees and asylum seekers participating in the Bright
Employment Hospitality Program who will eventually graduate
to full employment in the industry.”
DOOLEYS is proud to partner with The Salvation Army and
Bright Employment to provide much needed funding for this
innovative project.
The Auburn Connect Community Kitchen aims to reduce the
level of poverty in Auburn experienced by many members of
the community on low incomes by reducing the level of food
insecurity. It also aims to reduce Auburn’s high unemployment
levels by providing work experience for trainee hospitality
workers who are newly arrived migrants from refugee and
asylum seeker backgrounds.
Auburn Connect Community Kitchen is open

Life Education NSW
Improving the health
of our local children
Member spotlight –
For over 35 years, Life Education NSW has
been providing health and drug education to
school children aged 5-13 years.
Healthy Harold is the program’s iconic and much-loved
mascot who delivers positive health messages to primary
school children. Healthy Harold has quite a reputation with
the kids and, if you haven’t already heard of him, no doubt
you soon will!
“Each year, Life Education’s Mobile Learning Centre visits
at least 5 local primary schools in the Auburn area,” said
Fundraising Manager Lillian Adnan. “Healthy Harold and our
highly trained educators provide children information about
healthy eating and living, as well as providing age-specific
information about the dangers of drugs and alcohol abuse.”
This year, DOOLEYS is proud to partner with Life Education
NSW to provide take home workbooks for each child in our
local area who visits the Mobile Learning Centre.
The provision of take home
workbooks are a wonderful
resource for children to
keep so they can refer
to them in the future and
share Healthy Harold’s
messages with their entire
family and community.

that some of our DOOLEYS members do out
in our local community.
Once such person is Franklin Davies, who has been a
DOOLEYS Member for eight years. If there is volunteer work
to be done, or people to be helped, Frank is the first one to
put his hand up.
Frank started volunteering back in the 1950’s in Brisbane
coaching children and adults in tennis, table tennis and
soccer. Over the years, Frank’s volunteer work has
encompassed a wide variety of organisations including Cure
Cancer Australia Foundation, MS Australia, Australian Red
Cross, Amnesty International and the Sydney Children’s
Hospital Foundation, as well as many local sporting
associations.
Frank’s volunteering work has also seen him recognised
with many service awards including the 2011 Government
of NSW Community Service Award; the 2012 Bankstown
Australia Day Community Service Award as well as the 2014
Sydney Mid West Volunteer of the Year.
It is Frank’s professionalism and ability to build rapport with
both children and adults alike that holds him in such high
regard. Committing over 1,300 hours to volunteering each
year, Frank is the definition of a community spirited person.

DOOLEYS
Recycling
Challenge
DOOLEYS is taking up
the challenge to reduce
the amount of waste
we produce and increase
our recycling rate.
As a seven days a week operation across three clubs at
Lidcombe, Regents Park and Waterview, our business
produces a lot of waste and now we’re working hard to
reduce it.
We recently undertook a detailed waste audit to establish
just how much waste we produce here at DOOLEYS. The
audit found we use 572,000 coffee cups a year, 2.2 million
paper towels and 40,000 two-litre milk bottles.
Currently, our recycling rate at the Lidcombe Club to 62%
which is great but we are aiming for at least 70%. Now
we’re looking at what can be done at our two smaller clubs.
Earlier this year, we installed the Pulpmaster food waste
system at Waterview, which has helped to improve our
recycling rate.
DOOLEYS environmental advisors Big Switch Projects
are helping us with a number of key waste reduction and
recycling projects:
1. Coffee cups – how can we better dispose of them?
We already use biodegradable coffee cups but it would
be better for the environment if we can compost them.
We’re looking into that.
2. Paper recycling – we are looking at how we can
improve this in our offices.
3. Green Waste at Waterview – we are establishing a new
green waste process for all the leaves that fall on the
site from our trees.
4. Composting at Regents Park – we are going to trial a new
compost bin system for combined green and food waste.
5. Staff education – we are working hard to encourage all
our staff to support the projects and give us fresh ideas
for how we can manage waste better.
We’ve set ourselves a target of a 90% recycling rate
within five years. If you have any ideas on how we can
reduce the amount of waste we produce and recycle
more, we’d love to hear from you, our Members.

Meet the
trainer
Meet one of our trainers, Brad Whitfield. Brad
is currently studying a Bachelor of Exercise
and Sports Science with plans to further his
education in the psychology field. With over
4 years coaching experience and a passion for
sport from a young age, Brad is enthusiastic
about health, fitness and helping our Members
achieve their goals.
What makes you stand out from other Personal Trainers
in the industry?
I’ve taken an interest in sports psychology and I’ve found it’s
really helped me relate to our Members and my clients on a
whole new level.
If you could only eat one thing for the rest of your life,
what would it be?
Chicken, veggies and rice!
What’s your favourite song to exercise to?
Anything by the One Day Crew.
What’s your favourite machine on the Gym Floor?
The kinesis – you can work every body part on the same
machine.
What do you love most about working at DOOLEYS
Health + Fitness?
The Members are awesome. Our Members are some of the
friendliest people I’ve ever worked with, and it makes coming to
work fun!
If you could work in any other industry, where
would it be?
Mental health, or something to do with psychology.
What’s your favourite Group Fitness class?
Yoga or Barbell. Yoga because it’s great for stretching, relaxing
and calming the mind and body and Barbell because you work
up a sweat and get your muscles pumping.
Resistance or Cardio, which would you prefer?
Both! No good training program is complete without a mixture
of strength and cardio work.
Personal Training
Summer Bonus!
For every 6 or 10 Pack of Personal Training
sessions you buy, you’ll receive a FREE Shaker

Member satisfaction: survey results
Each year DOOLEYS conducts a variety of research activities to gauge the
satisfaction of our Members. This year, our Members completed over 2,900 surveys
and attended a series of focus group sessions to help us gain a better understanding
of our Members’ expectations.
Members were asked to rank importance and satisfaction
across a range of factors for each Club and provide some
feedback regarding our facilities and services.
What is important to our Members?
When we asked our Members what were the items that kept
them coming back to DOOLEYS the seven factors that ranked
highest in terms of importance were:
• Being treated with respect from our staff
• How clean the venue(s) are
• Staff making you feel welcome
• Customer service
• Quality of food and beverages
• Security
What are our Members are most satisfied with?
Much like previous year’s results, the results showed that
Members are extremely satisfied with our staff who make them
feel welcome and treat them with respect. They also praised
DOOLEYS for the cleanliness of the venue and the fact they
can feel safe on our premises.
What are the areas for the Club’s improvement?
In conducting this survey we also hoped to uncover areas
that customers were less satisfied with, in order to continually
improve our services. Members mentioned that they would like
to see a greater variety of menu options that provide better
value. There was also feedback raised about our promotions
and rewards.
Your Club is working to better understand what it is that
constitutes “value” to you, our Members, in terms of food,
beverages and our other products and services. We thank all
those Members who took part in our survey and look forward to
improving your Clubs, with better facilities and services to benefit
our Members and Guests.

Walking
Club
Twice a year, Walking Club Members meet to draw up a walking program for the next 6 months. Various walks
are put forward, but every now and then, something different is proposed. The following walk is one of them.
Rookwood Cemetery
Fifteen walkers gathered at Lidcombe station for this walk.
Entering the cemetery via the pedestrian gate in East Street, we
arrived at St Michael Archangel Chapel to begin a historic walk
through the Old Catholic Section.
Our first stop was the Toohey Family’s Vaults. John Toohey
started his empire with a cordial factory in 1869 and Toohey’s
beer did not become popular until the 1880’s. Next up was the
Maher Family Vault which has the most outstanding monument
in Rookwood, a gigantic Celtic cross. Timothy Maher ran Moore’s
Labour Bazaar in Pitt Street during the 1850’s/1860’s which was
the largest general furnishing store in the colonies at that time.
Walking past the Slovene Monumental Lawn, we came to an
original part of the Serpentine Canal built prior to 1890 which
weaves like a snake across the centre of Rookwood Cemetery.
We passed the McMahon Vault where James McMahon is
buried. James held the exclusive contract from the NSW railways,
delivering wool to the warehouse. James had 250 teams and 550
horses, transferring 750,000 bales of wool annually.
Our next stop was where 3 of the 19 Australians who died in the
submarine attack on Sydney Harbour are buried. We then walk
to the very impressive Italian vaults. Our final stop on our historic
walk is dedicated to the Sisters of Charity, the first religious
sisters to arrive in Australia in 1838.
We had a well-earned morning tea as we viewed the 1880’s
Gothic revival style of the St Michael Archangel Chapel.
We then moved on to the St Joachim’s Circle, stopping at the
Mortuary No. 1 Station which was used from 1867 to 1948,
before moving on to the memorial to the Jewish people who lost
their lives in World War 2.
After this, we walked up and down the many paths, viewing
and commenting on the 38 unique works comprising the Art &
About sculptures that are scattered around the Anglican section.
Naturally we all had different ideas as to which pieces we liked
best. From ‘Adrift’ – a homeless person asleep on a park bench,
‘A Few Thoughts on the Death of Photography’, ‘Regeneration’
– ceramic rabbits, ‘House of Bones’ and ‘Untitled’ – arrow of
men blindfolded, they are unable to see and therefore cannot
move forward.
We had lunch beneath the piece ‘Heartbeaten’ – which explores
the relationship between life and death before returning to
DOOLEYS to complete a wonderful 6km walk on a beautiful
Spring day.
Leaders: Marlene and Stanley
For further information concerning the Walking Club’s
walks, phone John or Helen on 9644 8859.
Lawn Bowls
All of our Club Championships are over for the year and
our Club Champion is Ivan Baxter.
The DOOLEYS Open Pairs Championship was played on 27 September and was won by
I Baxter and G Scopa, with runners-up being L Portelli and D Elbourne.
Our Twilight Bowls have commenced and will continue during the Daylight Savings Period.
Winners Rick Hegarty and Adam Scott
receiving the Vizy Wilczek Trophy from
Mrs Wilczek
Our social games on Monday at 9.30am, Wednesday at 1.00pm and Saturday at 1.00pm
are still going well and we would like to welcome new players. If anyone would like to know
more or to learn the game, please contact me on 9649 3595 and I will be only too happy
to help.

DOOLEYS Snooker and Billiards Club
The DOOLEYS Snooker and Billiards Club would like to
congratulate those Members that played in the Western Districts
Snooker and Billiards Competition over the first 20 weeks of
the year. DOOLEYS Members came second in the round robin
part of the tournament with 116 points, narrowly beaten by
Wentworthville Leagues Club who finished with 117 points.
In order for the Snooker Club to enter a team in the B and C
grades next year, we need more players, and that means you!
We meet on Monday and Tuesday night’s to play and would
greatly encourage female players to come join in.
The tables were turned in the Grand Final when DOOLEYS
defeated Wentworthville 7 – 5 to take home the inaugural C
Grade - Bill Hart Memorial Shield. The shield will be displayed in
the trophy cabinet in the near future.
There is a fee of $2.00 per game and all proceeds go to the
Westmead Children’s Hospital. To date we have raised over
$1500 from the current season. The winners of the Doubles
receive a $20 DOOLEYS EFTPOS card and the Runners up a
$10 card, while the winner of the Singles match receives $30
and Runner-up $20 cards.
The team members were:
Alex Lo, Clarence Ho, Farhan Khan, Franco Di. Matteo,
Ben Chan, Steve Martin, Ivan Fung, Hai Long and a 9th
member Lallee was forced to drop out in the early stage
of the competition.
The Intra Club Competition will run until Thursday 18 December,
then break until early 2015. The Western Districts competition
will commence in late February or early March, dates to be
decided. The Club is also looking at other competitions in which
its members can participate.

DOOLEYS is committed to minimising
our impact on the local environment
DOOLEYS’ monthly electricity bill is $30,000
less per month today than two year's ago due
to a number of energy efficiency measures
implemented throughout our venues this year.
This reduction is equivalent to the annual
energy use of almost 15 homes!
