MEMBERSHIPS
Talk to our friendly bar staff if you'd like an "old-school" membership card.
Petersham Bowling Club is a community-owned, not-for-profit registered club, which means membership is part of how we operate. Under NSW registered club laws, we’re required to have members in order to trade, sell alcohol, and keep the club running for the benefit of the community rather than private owners.
Becoming a member helps keep the PBC alive and thriving. Membership fees go directly back into maintaining the club, supporting live music and events, improving accessibility, and caring for our greens and grounds.
As a member, you’re part of the community that keeps this place going. You won’t need to sign in each time you visit, associate members can take part in club meetings, and you’ll be supporting one of the Inner West’s last remaining community-run venues.
Annual social membership is just $3, and it makes a real difference.
Join up, bring your mates, and help us keep the bowlo for everyone.
Here at the bowlo, we reckon everyone deserves to feel welcome and included. Access isn’t a privilege — it’s a basic right — and we’re putting in the work to make that real at Petersham Bowling Club, with a new accessibility ramp and improved access to the greens.
Because at the end of the day, this is a pokie-free, community-run space built for everyone — a place to come together, enjoy some music, have a roll on the greens, and share the good times.
Our target is $500k which will enable the club to build a ramp with landing, new access doors, widen the pathways + more! see further details on
