About the Petersham Bowling Club

Established in 1896,  the Petersham Bowling & Recreation Club (the PBC) is one of the oldest clubs in NSW, with a rich and interesting history. A few years ago the club was snatched from the jaws of property developers intent on building town houses on the site. Now the PBC is a vibrant, dynamic and creative, poker machine-free community club with a strong commitment to environmental sustainability. 

The PBC survives on the work of dedicated volunteers and staff and the patronage of the local community and visitors from all over the place.

People come because the PBC is a warm and welcoming old club – a bit worn and beaten-up around the edges – but with great food, a family-friendly atmosphere and a growing reputation as a live music venue. 

As a multi-purpose facility the PBC offers sport, music, the arts, space for functions, a selection of tasty beers and wines, great food and lots of opportunities for fun while protecting the open green space for the next 116+ years.

Come and be a part of it! Bring your mates for a drink and some barefoot bowls. Bring the kids for a play while you listen to some great music on a Sunday afternoon. Come to a gig and support Sydney’s live music scene.

Get involved

as a volunteer or just come and enjoy the friendly atmosphere. Everyone is welcome at the PBC!

The IWW is a member-run union for all workers, a union dedicated to organising on the job, in our industries and in our communities. IWW members are organising to win better conditions today and build a world with economic democracy tomorrow. We want our workplaces run for the benefit of workers and communities rather than for a handful of bosses and executives.

We are the Industrial Workers of the World because we organise industrially.

This means we organise all workers producing the same goods or providing the same services into one union, rather than dividing workers by skill or trade, so we can pool our strength to win our demands together. Since the IWW was founded in 1905, we have made significant contributions to the labour struggles around the world and have a proud tradition of organising across gender, ethnic and racial lines long before such organizing was popular.

We invite you to become a member whether or not the IWW happens to have representation rights in your workplace. We organise the worker, not the job, and recognise that unions are not about government certification or employer recognition but about workers coming together to address common concerns.

Sometimes this means refusing to work with dangerous equipment and chemicals.

Sometimes it means striking or signing a contract. Other times it means agitating around particular issues or grievances in a workplace or industry.

The IWW is a democratic, member-run union. That means members decide what issues to address, and which tactics to use and we directly vote on office holders, from stewards to national offices. Why wait? Join the IWW and organize for a better future.

 

 

Preamble to the IWW Constitution

The working class and the employing class have nothing in common. There can be no peace so long as hunger and want are found among millions of the working people and the few, who make up the employing class, have all the good things of life.

Between these two classes a struggle must go on until the workers of the world organize as a class, take possession of the means of production, abolish the wage system, and live in harmony with the Earth.

We find that the centring of the management of industries into fewer and fewer hands makes the trade unions unable to cope with the ever growing power of the employing class. The trade unions foster a state of affairs which allows one set of workers to be pitted against another set of workers in the same industry, thereby helping defeat one another in wage wars. Moreover, the trade unions aid the employing class to mislead the workers into the belief that the working class have interests in common with their employers.

These conditions can be changed and the interest of the working class upheld only by an organization formed in such a way that all its members in any one industry, or in all industries if necessary, cease work whenever a strike or lockout is on in any department thereof, thus making an injury to one an injury to all.

Instead of the conservative motto, "A fair day's wage for a fair day's work," we must inscribe on our banner the revolutionary watchword, "Abolition of the wage system."

It is the historic mission of the working class to do away with capitalism. The army of production must be organized, not only for everyday struggle with capitalists, but also to carry on production when capitalism shall have been overthrown. By organizing industrially we are forming the structure of the new society within the shell of the old.

May 10, 2013 7:00 pm11:00 pm

Sydney band, DRILL was a four piece that formed in 1992 with an experimental mixture of sounds, making a name for themselves with their fuzzed-up songs and theatrics.
In 1993 they released a limited edition 7" titled "Ballman" which quickly sold out.
In 1995 they released the E.P "Spin Dry the Adjudicator", making it to number 5 in the Red Eye Charts.
They heavily toured for the E.P and featured at Sydney’s Metro for the Eddie Magazine Launch.
After this show, the band stopped as some members were chasing Uni degrees.

In those 3years, the self-managed DRILL was able to support well-known bands such as Frenzal Rhomb, Front End Loader, Budd, Lawnsmell, Shihad, Spiderbait.

In 2012, Drill reformed to continue their efforts of penetrating tinnitus into unsuspecting punters.

Long-term Sydney stalwarts, FURTHER who are in their 15th year of existence with three LPS and a bunch of EP’s & singles under their belts.
Although seemingly quiet over the past few years, FURTHER have still managed to support the likes of Bob Mould (US), Future Of The Left (UK), Russian Circles (US), Trail Of Dead (US), Smoke Bellow, (US/AUST) Blacklevel Embassy, (VIC).
An elusive fourth album has been toted for some time now as FURTHER eagerly awaits the creation of a device that converts human memory into music files; instantly turning people’s gig experiences into an LP and eradicating the need for rehearsals.
FURTHER: making things easier…for everyone.

Also supporting this night will be SHARK ARM. They are a relatively new band constructed from members of legendary Sydney/Brisbane band, MIDGET and Sydney band Tripitaka, both of whom shared the inner-city venues throughout the 1990s .
SHARK ARM has only played a handful of shows in the last 12months supporting bands such as Yes I’m Leaving, Cape Tribulation. They’re debut 7”single “Dog’s Breakfast” is due for release later in the year and is a solid, stabbing rock tune due to become an instant classic SHARK ARM don’t have a website or any social media outlets yet but this historical facts is most likely the main inspiration behind their name

A tribute to the Possum with house-band 50 MILLION BEERS & guest vocalists Charlie Maclean, Mark Cornwall, Kane Dyson, Jason walker & Mark Lucas.

Friday 24th May 8pm
$10 at the door

George Jones, the greatest singer in country music, leaves behind him a unique legacy of great music, a larger-than-life legend & a heck of a lot of friends.

"Hopefully [people] will remember me for my music and forgive me of the things I did that let 'em down," Jones said in 2006. He also understood he wouldn't be absolved of everything: "There are some things you just can't make up to people," he said of the many performances he missed over the years because of his struggles with alcohol and drugs, which led to the nickname "No Show Jones" that followed him for many years in the 1970s and '80s.

Yet, along the way, he continued to deliver hit after hit from 1955, when he first scored with "Why Baby Why," through his final appearance on the pop chart 50 years later as a guest of Waylon Jennings' son Shooter Jennings on "4th of July."

"In country music, George Jones set the standard long ago," the late Johnny Cash once said. "No one has compared to him yet."

Or, as the now-departed Waylon Jennings famously remarked, "If we could all sound like we wanted to, we would all sound like George Jones."

“When you look at all formats of music, George Jones is the most unique stylist, bar none” – B.B. King

“I bask in the glow of having worked (read played) with George Jones. Gram Parsons must be smiling.” – Keith Richards

Latin musicians have long known that you don’t need a thumping kick drum to drive an audience to a frenzy of relentless dancing. Musica Linda’s unique take on acoustic Cuban dance music, infused with touches of exotica from the Mediterranean gets hips shaking, pulses racing and the dance floor packed. With a majority of female musicians, think Buena Vista Social Club with big hair and hips. Very much a new generation spin on a traditional music, Musica Linda play beautiful son, cha cha cha and other Cuban rhythms to keep your feet and body moving. World music influences in the mix include West African beats, a Romany Cocek, an Arabic song and a Greek Cumbia with bellydance intro!

Starting in 2013, Musica Linda will play at the PBC on the last Thursday of the month. This friendly community run club in the inner west is perfect for lovers of Cuban music and dance and continues the tradition of Club Cubano. You don’t need to have danced before, as there will be a free lesson at 7.30pm with Calle Salsa.

Great pizza and other food available, plus a tasty selection of beers and wines. You can also play barefoot bowls if you get there before dark!

There is nothing better to do on a Sunday afternoon than to let your limbs loose to some wicked African Salsa, Soukous, Highlife and Reggae music! DJ “Kojo” presents to you every fortnight on a Sunday, the best genre in music out today to get everyone dancing whilst some play bowls and others relax in the sun and chat from 2pm – 5pm!
So bring your friends, enjoy a drink or two, spin a bowl, grab a bite and enjoy the music!
