Eight Bangalow community members attended Norths AGM on Monday, 25 May, to seek answers about the future of Bangalow Bowlo, but received no meaningful engagement, with their concerns merely ‘noted’.

Norths Collective (formerly North Sydney Leagues Club) has rejected the Bangalow Advisory Committee’s (BAC) offer to buy back the Bangalow Bowlo at the 2022 ‘bail out’ price of $680,000.

The Bangalow community came together on Sunday for a public meeting to receive updates and create a community campaign to have the Banglow Bowlo returned to the community.

Over 100 people met last Sunday to discuss the future of the Bangalow Bowlo after Norths Collective rejected the option of handing back the keys to the community.

With the parent company of the Bangalow Bowling Club, Norths Collective, posting a $2,585,559 loss last financial year, The Echo sought comment around the company’s commitment to major upgrades as promised, and to reassure the Bangalow community that their club is not in danger of becoming insolvent or being sold off.

Since Norths Collective took over management of the Bangalow Bowling Club in June of 2023, The Echo asked Norths Collective CEO how promises made prior to amalgamation were progressing.
