THE BERNBOROUGH CLUB...RACING, SPORT AND THE COMMUNITY SINCE 1976

With more than 300 members, the Bernborough Club is a group of men who share an interest in thoroughbred racing, sport, fellowship and the community.

Each year members and guests enjoy a variety of events and functions which feature outstanding guest speakers and raise funds for charity. Recent speakers have included Wayne Bennett (rugby league), Peter Moody (racing), Ewen McKenzie (rugby union), Lee Freedman (racing), Anthony Griffin (rugby league), Paul Messara (racing) and Chris Anderson (rugby league). Functions are held at quality venues such as Tattersall's Club and the Queensland Cricketers' Club.

A non-profit organisation, the Bernborough Club is proud of its annual contribution to charities which in recent years has averaged $50,000.The major event each year is the AAMI Stradbroke Luncheon, traditionally held on the eve of Queensland racing's premier sprint race. The luncheon is invariably a sellout with big-name guest speakers, entertainment and fine food and beverages. Other events include New Year's Luncheon (February), Weetwood Day trip to Toowoomba (March), BTC Cup Luncheon (May), Eagle Farm Race Day Marquee function (August), Spring Luncheon (October), Christmas Luncheon (late November-December).

Formed in 1976 when a group of 25 convened for a luncheon in the Member's Bar of the old Albion Park galloping venue, the Bernborough Club has prospered over the years. Numerous friendships have been formed with good fellowship a keynote of the club's social activities.

The founding president, Jim Anderson, named the club to perpetuate and recognise the deeds of the champion Queensland racehorse Bernborough. The club is committed to continuing that recognition.

A strength of the club is the diversity of membership...people from many different backgrounds domiciled in city and country. Members are entitled to invite guests to all events and functions. New members are always welcome and details are available on this website.
