Huge thanks to all the mates who came down to The Square last night for our club dinner! 💙💛

The turnout was absolutely legendary, the drinks were cold, and the vibes were spot on. But... we need to have a quick chat about dessert. 🛑

A massive shoutout to our fearless President, Stacey, who lovingly cooked the entire meal for everyone. Stace, we love your dedication to the club, but we’ve got to ask: why did you swap the sugar for the SALT in the self-saucing pudding?! 🧂🍮

If you survived Stacey’s "Salty Surprise" pudding last night, you’ve officially earned your Bulldog stripes! We promise we’ve revoked Stacey's baking privileges for the foreseeable future, but we'll let her keep the President title for now. 😉

Did you get a mouthful of the salty pudding? Drop a 🧂 in the comments below!

We were digging through the archives this week and found our exact bar sales from this time of the year back in 1990! 🐶💙💛

Here’s what the tally looked like:
🚬 Ci******es: $88.86
🍻 Beer: $912.67

Safe to say a few things have changed at The Square since 1990 (thankfully!), but our love for an ice-cold frothy with mates hasn't shifted one bit.

Come kick off your weekend with us this Friday!

We’ve got Happy Hour running from 4:30 PM to 6:30 PM, the legendary meat tray raffles, the Members Draw, and the JBL Partybox charged up so you can take over the tunes. 🎶
