The Toowoomba Farewell Party Planning Checklist

A send-off on the range might be for a colleague moving on, a retirement after decades in one job or a friend leaving the district. The format depends on whether you need speeches and a slideshow, or just a relaxed afternoon with a drink in hand.

Three quite different settings for a farewell:

  • A private room on Margaret Street with its own bar and AV, from $1,600 minimum spend, set up for speeches and a slideshow.
  • A bowls club in South Toowoomba with function rooms, banquet menus from $40 per person and a covered green for barefoot bowls.
  • A country pub at Cambooya on the Downs, with a beer garden, bistro meals and a big screen for photos or a farewell video.

For a work farewell, a weekday lunch or an after-work start keeps numbers up. For a retirement with family, a weekend afternoon gives more people a chance to come.

Book a minibus for a country outing, and in winter check whether the beer garden has heaters or move the party indoors.

Running the farewell

  • Plan a short speech schedule and a single slideshow so the night doesn't drag.
  • Ask about a microphone and screen, or bring in AV hire.
  • For an office send-off, caterers can bring platters to the workplace.
  • Order a cake or a card everyone can sign.

Weather and timing

  • Winter nights are cold, so keep the main part of the farewell inside.
  • Summer storms can roll in late in the day; have a covered option.
  • In September, book early as the Carnival of Flowers brings crowds.

Home safely after the send-off

  • A minibus suits a group heading out to Cambooya.
  • Arrange taxis or rideshare for a CBD farewell.
  • A hired driver can take the guest of honour home.
