Dolphins hit 5000
During the middle of
May we achieved a
milestone together, over
5000 people have
downloaded our Dolphin
App on either their Apple
or Android device.
If you are one of the few
who haven’t, remember the
App is free to download and
has a stack of information that
is continuously updated to
keep you up to speed with the
latest info. Whether you are
interested in the Leagues
Club, Football Club, Health
Precinct, Shopping Complex
or Bingo, all of the information
you will need is there.
Highlights of the previous
Queensland Cup games are
usually on the App by the
following Monday and soon
to make an appearance on the
APP is Dolphin TV. Stay
tuned !
Exciting things lay ahead in
the not too distant future
inside our Club. Keep a close
eye out as we endeavour to
bring some wonderful change
to the Interior of our venue.
Balance Pilates Mind and
Body Studio open this month.
Upstairs in the Health Centre
above our gym is a relaxing
room where certified
instructors will specialize in
increasing your flexibility,
core strength, balance and
stability. Pilates and Yoga
exercises aim to improve well
being and help with stress
relief. Call Dolphins Health
Precinct and information will
be forthcoming.
The Ticket-in Ticket-out
trial on our gaming machines
is almost done. A roll out of
this system will be put in
place very soon allowing
players the freedom to move
around our gaming floor with
ease. Ticket-in Ticket-out has
been available in New South
Wales for some time and has
been extremely popular.
When the OK is given, the
Club will move to have a
large percentage of machines
fitted with these printers for
patron convenience.
I see Bob has mentioned
our idea for turning Dolphin
Oval into a small stadium.
There is huge need in South
East Queensland and
Redcliffe is the ideal place to
put one. Cities or towns that
have invested in a small
stadium for their region
trumpet the substantial
amount of business bought
into the community via many
events. Keep an eye out next
month when we explore all
the positives that a Boutique
Stadium brings!.
