In 1996, significant renovations to the Clubrooms occurred and this included the formation of an upstairs Lounge. In December 1996 the Glaneuse Bar was officially opened. The aim of establishing the Glaneuse Bar and Lounge was to encourage and welcome members and their guests to make full use of the Clubrooms facilities. The facilities would encourage and promote social interaction amongst members while making a modest profit to assist the Club.

The Glaneuse Bar is primarily open during the main Summer School Holiday period, at weekends during the Patrol Season, over Easter and at other times during special occasions, such as long weekends and during special Club events. The hours of operation appear on the window, next to the main entry door off Buckley’s Road at the Clubrooms and on the Glaneuse Bar door.

As a general guide for Season 2007 / 2008, the Glaneuse Bar will be open each Saturday night from the start of patrols until Christmas. From Boxing Day through to the end of Nippers, the Glaneuse Bar will be open 7 days a week. From the end of Nippers through to the end of school holidays, the Glaneuse Bar will be open Thursday, Friday & Saturday nights. From the end of the school holidays until the end of Patrols, the Glaneuse Bar will be open on  Saturday nights, as well as long weekends and over Easter. Minimum hours are from 5:00pm to 10:00pm.

A brand new plasma television is now located in the lounge. We've repainted and redecorated and have a large selection of memorabilia on display. We've got a large range of new outdoor furniture and will be  providing some better shelter from the elements (both rain & sun), in time for the busy Christmas period. Don't  forget that a barbecue is located on the verandah for your free use while enjoying the Glaneuse Bar facilities. Why not have a barbecue meal while enjoying some drinks with your friends ?

Drink Selection:

The Glaneuse Bar stocks a wide variety of drinks which include a selection of Heavy & Light Beers, Basic and ‘Top Shelf’ Spirits, Pre-packaged Mixers, White, Red & Sparkling Wines, as well as soft drinks and snacks. Our aim is to provide a varied selection of alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks and snacks at a price that is competitive and encourages members (and their guests) to visit. As a guide, Carlton Draught & Victoria Bitter stubbies sell for $ 3.00, James Boags for $ 4.00 and Imported Beers for $ 4.50. Basic Spirits are $ 4.00 and bottles of wine are $ 15.00, with glasses for $ 3.00.

Associate membership is available to enable you to utilise the wonderful facility and receive the many benefits of being a member. Membership application packages are available from the Glaneuse Bar.

Bookings:

The Clubrooms may be the ideal venue for your next meeting, training session or seminar and there are a wide variety of facilities and amenities available. These include a hall area, two lounges, the Glaneuse Bar, kitchen, two limited accommodation areas and a large outside grassed area. The Club encourages the use of the Clubrooms as a ‘community facility’ and actively encourages local ‘not for profit’ organisations to make use of this facility. The Club will endeavour to take bookings throughout the year, however the Clubrooms facility is the administrative and social centre of the Club and    provides limited accommodation facilities for Club Members. It is in heavy demand by members    during the period from November to April and at other periods throughout the year and may not be available for your function, depending on the time of year and facilities required.

An application package is available from the Club’s website (see Clubrooms Hire).

The Point Lonsdale Surf Life Saving Club does not permit smoking inside the Clubrooms and persons under 18 are strictly not permitted to consume alcohol.
