As featured in DECEMBER STYLE Magazine.<br />
Charmed at<br />
Chalmers<br />
Davina Richards experiences the<br />
feel-good factor of this local<br />
working men’s club.<br />
IT WAS the rst time I had ever stepped<br />
inside the Hornby Working Men’s Club<br />
& MSA and I had never really known<br />
what goes on behind those doors. It turns<br />
out that there’s plenty to get involved in,<br />
and the volume of members says it all.<br />
e Hornby Working Men’s Club is<br />
located at e Hub Hornby and has been<br />
established for more than 60 years,<br />
boasting more than 7000 members. At its<br />
inception in 1956, it was a men’s only<br />
club, but the decision was made to allow<br />
women to become members in 1982.<br />
My ancé and I met the club treasure,<br />
Brian Purcell, who was kind enough to<br />
show us around the building, which<br />
proved to be very accommodating with a<br />
wide range of excellent facilities,<br />
including a Club Café, Club Bar with a<br />
stage for live music and dance oor,<br />
Sports Hall, modern gaming room, wellequipped<br />
Gymnasium, TAB, meeting<br />
room Chalmers Restaurant and three<br />
function rooms to host weddings,<br />
birthdays and conferences.<br />
Shortly aer our tour we were<br />
introduced to Brian’s wife, Raelene and<br />
enjoyed a drink before entering Chalmers<br />
Restaurant - which was lling up quickly.<br />
e menu was simple and consisted of<br />
hearty traditional fare, such as Catch of<br />
the Day, 250g Rib-Eye Steak and a<br />
Carvery with your choice of favourites<br />
like pork, beef, lamb or chicken.<br />
Greeted with a friendly smile and a<br />
professional demeanour by the staff, I<br />
ordered the Seafood Cocktail followed by<br />
a main meal of Marinated Pork Spare<br />
Ribs coated in tangy barbecue sauce<br />
served with salad and fries... a favourite<br />

Open 7 Days from 5.30pm<br />
dish at the Club, so I’m told. On its<br />
arrival I was pleasantly surprised with<br />
the portion. e pork was succulent<br />
and came off the bone easily, and a<br />
lashing of barbecue sauce was perfect.<br />
My ancé tucked into the blue cod<br />
served with chips and salad and was<br />
content with his perfect aky sh and<br />
its crispy outer coating.<br />
Despite being too full to indulge in a<br />
dessert, I didn’t hesitate to have a<br />
couple of spoonfuls of my ancé’s<br />
Carrot Cake with frosting and vanilla<br />
ice cream, which was almost lifechange.<br />
Suffice to say, I immediately<br />
regretted not having one.<br />
If you have never stepped foot inside<br />
the WMC, it’s worth popping in to<br />
take advantage of its many offerings.<br />
ere is a distinct sense of community,<br />
friendship and fun that lls the entire<br />
venue, and for a small membership fee,<br />
you too can be apart of this feel-good<br />
club.<br />
