Greg Mitchell Chief Executive Officer
CEO MessageChristmas is all but upon us and as usual, the Southern Cross Club is supporting Canberra’s 69th Carols by Candlelight at Stage 88, Commonwealth Park, on Wednesday 18 December. I am sure it will be another enjoyable evening delivered by the Woden Valley Youth Choir and special guests.
On 19 November 2013, the Southern Cross Club will cease operations at the Turner Club, this being the completion of the lease. I would like to wish the Canberra North Bowling Club all the best with the continuation of the business at Turner.
Please remember to take advantage of your StarRewards points. It’s a great opportunity to receive a benefit just by visiting your Club.
Get in early for your 2014 Australia Day Dinner to be held on Thursday 23 January 2014 at our Woden venue. This year’s guest speaker will be the international cricket legend, Dean Jones. It should be interesting to find out his thoughts on Australia winning the Ashes back!
Please browse through the rest of the Newsletter as there are many great food and entertainment opportunities across all of the Southern Cross Club venues.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Regards, Greg

Our Venue Managers oversee the operations at your local venue, from the seasonal menu changes through to planning for big events, such as Christmas. Here they tell us what they love most about Christmas Day in their venue
“Our staff really enjoy working on Christmas Day because its such a fun atmosphere and everyone is in great spirits. We put a lot of effort into ensuring it’s that way – from the beautiful decorations, the stunning menus and the little festive touches that contribute to the magical feeling of the day. Members and guests who celebrate at the Club are always in such a great mood from the start, that it becomes infectious and everyone leaves having had a really great day.”
“From the moment Members and their guests walk through our doors on Christmas Day, they can really see that we’ve gone to great lengths to create a special day for them. Whether it’s the stunning decorations, the range of menus specially designed by our award winning Chef to suit families and the gourmets, the friendly and attentive staff, the relaxed atmosphere or Santa turning up with a sack full of lollies for the young (and young at heart), my team and I are very mindful of creating a wonderful experience for all our patrons.”
“At Jamison, we’ve discovered the perfect recipe for keeping everyone happy on Christmas Day: beautiful festive food, a relaxed, friendly environment, attentive staff and lots of fun for the kids. So while parents and grandparents are unwinding over a superb Christmas lunch, the children are having a ball on the outdoor play area and interactive games. It’s a win-win situation and one that keeps our Members coming back for Christmas year after year.”
