Free Trial Jam at Norman Park
With the future of Coorparoo Bowls Club in doubt, we have been looking for alternative venues in the same area. Norman Park Sports Club is a possible place for us to hold jams and other events such as workshops. It is about one kilometre from Coorparoo Bowls Club.
We will be holding a 'trial' jam on Wednesday 10 June from 6.30pm to 8.30pm. Our aim is to work out how we can set up the space to run an effective jam. We will have three set leaders, and it will be free.
Come early to try the bistro and have a drink at the bar. We are testing out this new venue – tell us what you think.
Norman Park Sports and Community Club, 43 Norman Ave, Norman Park.
Read all about it.

RENEWAL TIME!
It's renewal time for many BUMS members. Anyone who was a member before June 2023 will have a renewal date of 30 June 2026. You may already be seeing reminders in the App.
We’d love you to renew through the App or on the website – it’s quick, easy and safe (and it saves so much time for our volunteers).
If you’re unsure, ask the Welcome Desk crew at your next jam.
