About Main Hall @ Polish White Eagle Club
The Polish White Eagle Club is a social club on David Street in Turner that has served Canberra's Polish and wider community for more than half a century. It is pokie-free, and its home, Nicholas Copernicus House, was designed by the modernist architect Enrico Taglietti. The Main Hall is the club's main function room, at 18 by 11 metres. It has an elevated stage with drapes, a stepped ceiling, original parquetry floors and timber accents that keep the building's original character. Up to 120 guests can be seated, with tables and chairs provided. The hall can also be set up in a smaller configuration, and extra raised platforms, a lectern and microphones are on hand. Speeches and live acts are covered by a theatre-grade sound system, stage lights, a big pull-down projector screen and a piano, with a green room behind the stage for performers. A direct outside entrance to the hall and backstage makes it easier to bring in heavy equipment or props. Catering comes from the club's Polo restaurant, which can do finger food, a buffet or a seated lunch or dinner. The licensed bar carries imported European beers, regional wines and more than 50 vodkas, and the club will put together a drinks package to suit the budget. Table cloths and glassware can be supplied for an additional fee. For smaller parties, the club's Chopin Room seats up to 35 and has its own timber dance floor beside the bar.
