About Norman Park Sports & Community Club
Norman Park Sports & Community Club is a bowls club on Norman Avenue in Norman Park, on Brisbane's eastern side. It has two bowling greens lit for night play, outdoor barbecue tables under shade sails, a bistro and a private Function Room, with off-street parking on site. The Function Room is a plain, flexible room that you can style your own way. Bi-fold glass doors run from floor to ceiling along one side, so guests look straight out over the greens and gardens. Hire is $400 for five hours, and the time can be stretched if you ask. The room comes with its own restrooms, wi-fi, a Bluetooth speaker, a drop-down screen with laptop connection for a projector, and a microphone and lectern on request. Food is ordered ahead from the club's function menu, with a $500 minimum on catering. Options include chef-cooked barbecue buffets with salads, a build-your-own burger or slider bar, and hot and cold platters for 10 to 15 people each. There are no set drinks packages. Instead you open a bar tab for a fixed amount, choose what it covers, and guests wear wristbands to draw on it. Many groups add a two-hour game of barefoot bowls, with an instructor to explain the rules. One celebration cake may be brought in with no cakeage charge, and the room can be decorated with balloons, flowers and fairy lights.
