After more than two and half months of closure, the Sunbury Social Club has welcomed back the community with open arms and frosty pints.
The reopening was a welcome change for the club whose finances took a hit during the periodic lockdowns of the past two years.
Now managed by the Sunbury Sports and Community Club, president Allan O’Connor said it was exciting times for members and the broader community.
“It’s a mad rush really, but it’s a positive mad rush,” Mr O’Connor said.
“I know a lot of the staff have been keen to get back to work, we’re all feeling very optimistic.
“Usually we’ve got members that are coming in regularly, some more often than once a week. And some of them have been doing that for the last 50 years.“
The Sunbury Social Club’s bistro, bar and gaming venues provide financial support to a number of community organisations, including the Sunbury Lions Football Club and the Sunbury Darts Association.
“We’re really looking forward to community sport being back on, because of our links with so many sporting clubs,” Mr O’Connor said.
