Throughout NSW, you will find licensed clubs run by community groups, such as the Ex-Services Clubs and Bowling Clubs. If you are a traveller, they are an excellent choice for good inexpensive meals, a pleasant drink, and a chance to meet locals. For those interested, they also have gaming rooms with poker machines. You do need to be a bona-fide traveller though, and when you enter you will be required to fill out a temporary visitor permit, such as that in the first photo. On our arrival in Coffs, we headed for the Ex-Services Club, because we had arranged to meet my VT friends Carole (Unravelau) and Nettie (Tapis Volant) there. They proved to be very pleasant people who were far more real than virtual, and we had a delightful time talking to them. They also gave us a lovely welcome card (second photo) The Club later served us some quite acceptable meals in its restaurant, though getting a table proved problematical because a show in town had brought many extra patrons for a full evening out. I expect that would not normally be a problem - and, from time to time, clubs such as this have entertainment of their own.
Casual is the way to go, but not to the stage of beachwear and thongs. Theme: OtherAddress: Vernon Street, Coffs HarbourPhone: 02 6652 3888Directions: The Club is easy to find - it's one of the largest buildings in Coffs, just off the Pacific Highway.

| | | | Coffs Harbour ex Services Club: Clubbing is big in Coffs | | | | | |
Coffs Harbour's ex Services Club is usually the all in one destination for weekend night fun. Take last Friday for instance (6th Oct 2006). Tapis_Volant (aka Nettie) and myself met up with Tiabunna (aka George) and his wife Pauline at the Club for a chat and a meal. Little did we know [this is what happens when you (meaning me) doesn't keep abreast of things] but Leo Sayer was also 'at the club'. My first awareness was when Nettie and I, walking down the corridor, brushed past this person and Nettie gives me a nudge while saying.....hey Carole that's Leo Sayer.....who? What? Says I......what are you talking about....ah Carole, you are always in a dream....he must be playing the club to-night. Ohhhhh. This meant that the dining room was horribly busy and were taking bookings, promising to let us know when a table would be available...... They didn't let us know and it wasn't until an hour later that George, just about fainting from hunger, went to check and found that we could indeed eat then. We did have a lovely time over a few drinks and getting to know one another. Unfortunately Nettie had to leave before we got to the dinner part. We enjoyed our dinner and George and I enjoyed a bottle of what turned out to be a favourite wine of both he and I....you guessed it. The meal, wine (among other liquid refreshments), chat and meeting was simply lovely and we took our leave of one another after 10...... They, George and Pauline were to head off North to meet up with more vters the next morning after a quick look at the Dutch ship (The Duyfken) in the harbour and I was heading north to Dreamworld with family.......obviously the right place for me. LOL
The Club requires that patrons wear a shirt (not singlet) after a certain time, and proper shoes, (no thongs). Apart from these restrictions, its pretty much come as you are or dress up if you like.
