Tin Shed members are our foundation members to whom we are forever grateful for being a part of the creation of the Blacktown Workers Club Group. Each year we honour our Tin Shed members with the Tin Shed lunch – our chance to say “Thank You” to those that made this all possible.

Blacktown Workers Club Group emerged from the extended winter Covid-19 lockdown with a brandnew Grand Foyer and Walkway, as well as two new restaurants and two new bars.

The opening was celebrated with a ceremony on Monday 6th December. Dignitaries in attendance included Michelle Rowlands MP, Hugh Dermott MP and Stephen Bali MP.

The ceremony commenced with a Welcome to Country by Erin Wilkins and a wonderful performance by the Nulungu Dreaming Dancers.

Speeches were made by Morgan Stewart, Group Chief Executive Officer of Blacktown Workers Club Group, James Boyd, Executive Chairman of Paynter Dixon, the commercial builders responsible for the project, as well as Kay Kelly, President of Blacktown Workers Club Group.

Kay Kelly said, “As a not-for-profit organisation, redevelopments like this demonstrates a commitment by the Board of Directors to our members that we will

Grand Foyer And Walkway

reinvest in their club and provide them with better facilities to use and enjoy.”

The construction works were predominantly carried out during the lockdown, in a Covid safe manner, keeping hundreds of local trades and workers employed during a difficult time for the Blacktown LGA and residents of Western Sydney in particular.

The new Eucalyptus Dining restaurant was also opened with an official launch dinner on Monday 13th December. Dignitaries in attendance included Mayor Tony Bleasdale OAM, Deputy Mayor Julie Griffiths, and Stephen Bali MP.

Speeches were made by Mayor Tony Bleasdale, and again by Morgan Stewart, James Boyd and Kay Kelly.

The invited guests enjoyed a delicious menu created by Executive Chef, Kiran Arora, included favourites from Eucalyptus Dining such as the Ricotta and Spinach Tortellini, Crumbed Lamb Cutlet and Lemon Myrtle Barramundi.

Our friendly staff always made our entrance at Workers Blacktown feel welcoming and special, now we have an open, light and friendly entrance and foyer to match. Walk straight off the pedestrian crossing from the carpark into the venue, with our new reception counter to the left, and a grand walkway beyond. Now that’s how you make a first impression.
