Description

Join us for International Women's Month for a very special night in the heart of the west at the community owned and not-for-profit Petersham Bowling Club as we celebrate Stepping Out and the incredible work they have done over four decades supporting adult female survivors of childhood sexual abuse. This milestone fundraising event brings together live music from iconic Australian band Dog Trumpet, singer, actor and No Laughing Matter Director Zoe Carides, lots of laughs from comedian Chris Ryan, and the legendary Jean Kittson as our MC & panel facilitator. Our panel consists of Melissa Holmes (CEO of Stepping Out), Jess Hill (Author of “See What you Made me do”, Marie Claire Advocate of the Year), Kate Rowe (CSA survivor, author & recently on "Conversations" with Richard Fidler) & Tanya Lee OAM (creator of the internationally acclaimed "No Laughing Matter" podcast series)

Tickets $40 and go directly to supporting the vital, ongoing work of Stepping Out. Raffle prizes and auction items will be available on the night, plus you can donate extra via the ticketing link.

This evening is an opportunity to acknowledge the meaningful work of Stepping Out, enjoy some uplifting music and comedy, and connect with others in our local community who value the important work of social impact.

Located at the heart of Sydney’s Inner West, the PBC is one of the oldest bowling clubs in Australia. We have been part of the Inner West since 1896.

In the years past the club had struggled to survive, culminating in several attempts to redevelop some or all of the club grounds. The local community successfully campaigned against all these proposals and in late 2006 and the club began a new era with the appointment of a community-based Board.

The PBC is now an award-winning and vibrant pokie-free club that is dynamic and creative. It provides our diverse community with a multi-purpose facility offering sports, the arts, fun, music and food whilst protecting the use of the open space for the next 110 years.

All bookings must be accompanied by a member or become a member upon booking confirmation. You can renew an existing membership or start a new one here.

The Petersham Bowling Club is not wheelchair accessible yet. We have plans to remedy this in the next 3 years. Entry to the club is via 12 stairs at the front of the venue. once inside it is all 1 level and we have an ambulant & wheelchair accessible toilet.

By entering the PBC, you are agreeing to our Code of Conduct.
