• Mt Pleasant Bowling Club $5,000 – funds towards a series of evening events

  The Club to host a series of music events/concerts on the bowling green under lights in the evening over the warmer months. Each fortnightly evening will be promoted with a different theme. Families and friends encouraged to bring picnic blankets and cushions and relax under the stars whilst listening to the music artists. Food Trucks and other food choices and refreshments, that compliment the evening's theme, would be available to enhance the experience.

• Aviation Heritage Museum of Western Australia $2,056 – funds towards an evening family event highlighting the Museum’s collection

  We would like to trial opening the museum one evening – ‘A Night at the Museum’. We believe we could create a unique museum experience through the use of lighting. The museum has a renewed focus on increasing education around aviation and significant aviation events and we hope to use the opportunity of a night time opening to also focus on some of the events that occurred during night time such as bomber command. The museum is set up in a way that we can encourage families to attend in groups and also provide meal options through the use of food trucks out the front, with seating options available out the front of the museum and within the museum between the two hangars. It is also the Air Force's 100th Birthday this year so it will be a good opportunity to promote this significant year to the community through a special event. If it is successful we would hope to replicate it at least once a quarter going forward

• Blue Gum Park Tennis Club $5,000 – funds towards family nights at the club

  On Friday evenings from 5pm-10pm, the clubhouse, which would normally sit dormant, will be brought to life throughout the winter months.  Our vision is that it would play host to a live musician on the existing stage and the bar will be fully stocked for the adults to enjoy.  The Junior room at the back of the clubhouse will show a family movie and become a safe and fun space for children of all ages to enjoy with games and table tennis.  The grass tennis courts in front of the clubhouse would be open for everyone to enjoy a relaxed hit of tennis or a kick of the footie.
