1 Year Of Club Whitsunday

Club Whitsunday will be celebrating their first birthday next weekend on Saturday, the 17th of January and they have a mystery prize up for offer.

Excitement is rising as the massive present in the foyer is wrapped up and remains a mystery, but General Manager of Club Whitsunday Josh Prowse said it's a prize that everybody will want and anybody can use.

To enter, you need to be a member of Club Whitsunday and start spending money at the club. Every $1 spent is one entry.

To win you must be there for the draw on Saturday the 17th of January, between 11am and 3pm.

Josh explains that it has been a busy year for Club Whitsunday, full of community connection, and he is very proud of what they have achieved.

With over 6500 members the club is thriving and is ticking all the boxes the community sports club was designed to tick. The support has been overwhelming and reinforces their commitment to giving back to the community and supporting grassroots sport.

During its first year Club Whitsunday has been home to a wide range of events, from small business networking activities to large-scale sporting fixtures.

Among the headline events was the Viking Cup, which delivered the biggest visitation in the history of the Club Whitsunday. Organisers estimate more than 1,000 people attended across the two-day event. The venue also successfully hosted the Rugby Union grand final, which was relocated from Mackay, and a significant win for the town.

Other major events included the Big Freeze, adding to what has been a landmark year of activity and growth for the facility and the community it serves.

Partnerships with local food suppliers have also played a key role, with raffles, promotions and collaborative advertising helping strengthen ties between the venue and the wider business community.

Upcoming events in 2026 are also set to draw in more and more visitors, first their birthday on the 17th of January will set the tone for the year to come, on 24th of January the North Queensland Cowboys will be doing a morning training session, and Australia Day celebrations will follow shortly after on the 26th. In August Club Whitsunday will also have their huge $20k giveaway!

It's going to be a huge year for Club Whitsunday, and the club is looking ahead to another year of community connection, major events and continued investment in local sport.
