MEAT RAFFLE PRICE UPDATE
& CHRISTMAS SPECIAL

To help us put together an even bigger Christmas meat raffle, we’re considering increasing our ticket price by just $1 — from $2 to $3 per ticket.

Would you be keen on a x-mas raffle?

We’ve also got some exciting news! Starting 15 October, we’ll be adding 2 extra $30 meat packs to our raffle! That means even more chances to win and take home some delicious meat!

Thanks for your ongoing support, everyone!

Thank you to Trust Aoraki Limited for your support and the hard work you guys put in to set up the new entertainment room!

We’re very excited to welcome The Bunker Pub as a Trust Aoraki venue! 🎉

The Bunker joins our existing venues in a shared commitment to 100% local. This means every dollar available for community grants goes back into our local community, supporting local clubs, groups and organisations.

A big welcome to The Bunker team! We’re looking forward to working together and keeping community funding close to home. 💙

Hi everyone, we just wanted to let you know that things are a few bit different this week.

1. The bar is closed for a wee break from 1. - 4. of June. We'll be back on Friday the 5th. Which means there is no pool comp Wednesday night!

2. We won't have live music this Friday instead it will be on Saturday night from 6.30pm - one of our lovely locals is celebrating his 60ths birthday and one of his mates will play music for us. Feel free to join us - if you do so make sure to wish Paul a happy birthday 🥳

Thank you for your understanding. We'll see ya'll on Friday at 3 pm!
Note make sure you get in early to save yourself some meat raffle tickets! The draw will be at 5 pm as usual 😊
