Queer Volleyball Fundraiser for Pony Club Gym

Queer Volleyball!

Come and join us for an indoor beach volleyball fundraiser for Pony Club Gym. Grab your friends, your enemies, come and heal your sports trauma or just get silly in the sand with us. There will be inexperienced referees, queers with a vengeance to win, yummy food from Falastini food truck, booze and great vibes. You don’t need to have any volleyball skills at all, one court will be dedicated to just having a friendly pass around. Event is 18+ and ally friendly.

Pony Club Gym is a sacred community space, healing the minds and bodies of queers often picked last for sport! We rewrite our narratives of capacity and ability and get stronggg. This space always puts community first, contributing in immeasurable ways to the mental health and physical health of our communities, fundraising, offering free memberships and being the kind of space I picture in my most liberatory imagination. Rising cost of living is kicking everyone’s ass and this space relies upon community to uplift and ensure its continuity, so let’s turn it outtt after all they give.

Sliding scale with discounted entry for PoC and Mob.

Accessibility:

Unfortunately the space is not wheelchair accessible. There are very narrow hallways and small bathrooms (photos attached). There are no steps in the venue - the entrance are huge slidey doors that will be open. The space is quite echoey and noisy and can be overstimulating, there is space outside to take a lil break from the noise. There will be music playing as well and the sound of whistles and people having lots of fun. If you want to check out the space beforehand to suss it out - you’re welcome to come and cheer our volleyball team on a Tuesday evening.

COVID Safety:

Masks are strongly encouraged when moving around the space / using the bathrooms, a bit harder to wear them while playing. Please RAT beforehand if you can, we will have some available at the event as well as masks. Please let us know in the week after the event if you contract Covid so we can inform attendees. We will have some hepa filters in the space, doors will be open.

Transport:

There is on-street parking, trams along Sydney road and a bus up Victoria street, highly recommend carpooling with your lil team.
