About Arcadian Surf Club on the Strand
The Arcadian Surf Life Saving Club is a volunteer surf club that patrols Alma Bay on Magnetic Island, and its Townsville clubhouse stands beside the rock pool on the Strand in North Ward. The club hires out the clubhouse to the public for gatherings, meetings and training days. Functions are held in the Steel Davis Room, the main room on the first floor of the clubhouse. It is fully air-conditioned and opens onto two balconies on its eastern side, one either side of the room, looking over the rock pool and across the water to Magnetic Island. Standing, the room holds as many as 65 guests. Seated, it fits about 35 people banquet style at trestle tables, or around 20 when the tables are arranged in a U shape for a meeting or workshop. Other layouts are possible, and the club can advise on numbers for them. The hire covers the AV gear, the tables and chairs and access to a kitchenette. The club does not publish a catering offer, so plan the food with the club when you book. The club is able to run its bar for a celebration held on a Friday or Saturday night or a Sunday afternoon. Costs are not published; the club administrator quotes each booking and can arrange a viewing of the room beforehand.
