About Us

We play on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 7:00pm until 9:00pm. We play all year, normally with a short break around Christmas and New Year.

†Since we play in a school hall, their activities take priority and so, on rare occasions (maybe 2 or 3 nights each year), we will not play. In such cases we notify via an email list (see below) and also in the headlines of this page.

We play social games only, singles and doubles. There is no organised competition.

Cost is up to $6 per night, which includes use of bats and balls. Discounts are available for club members, concessions, and families.

As a small club, we have no qualified coaches and cannot offer coaching services.

Our location

We meet in the sports hall of the Jamboree Heights State Primary School at 35 Beanland St, Jamboree Heights.

The pin in Google Maps shows the actual building that we play in. Access is from Beanland St (not from Patrol St), but the building is not visible from the street. Please ignore any navigation system that tries to take you to Patrol St.


Access July to August 2026

Special access conditions apply for the remainder of 2026, while some other buildings in the school grounds undergo major renovations. This will restrict how we can get to the hall, and is likely to change over this period.

The satellite image map illustrates several possible access paths:

Parking:

The school says to park your car in Beanland Street. As an alternative, the staff carpark (labelled "SCP" in red on the map) can provide space for about 10 cars. It is normally blocked with a boom-gate but this should be released while the works are under way to allow after-hours parking.

Parking at the end of the driveway near the hall (where we normally park) will be severely or totally restricted, depending on the builder's requirements from week to week. It is quite possible that the laneway will at times be completely closed, with only a chain across the gateway. If you want to try the driveway then be very careful to check for the presence of the chain because it may not be very obvious in the dark.


Access from the street:

The yellow arrows mark the path down the driveway that we usually used. There is a pedestrian gate on the downhill side of the vehicle gateway in the case that the vehicle gateway is blocked. If this path is not blocked completely then using it will entail walking down a slope at the back of the hall that is partly dirt, partly grassed. It may be slippery in the wet and the school would prefer you did not use it.

The red arrow marks the School's preferred path for us to reach the hall.

The purple arrow marks a more direct path to the hall, but might not always be available.

Both the red and purple paths cross the fenced region. It is expected that the workers will leave these open to us each night, but you should anticipate they might forget once or twice.


Normal Access

From the lights at the intersection of Beanland St and Horizon Drive, travel down Beanland until you reach the roundabout. Drive full circle around the roundabout and back up Beanland St. Take the first driveway on the left and follow it through to a small car park.

Email List for Announcements

Regular or occasional players can request being added to the Google groups announcements list. This is a very low volume list and mainly sends messages about unexpected closures. The group access point can be found at our Google Groups page. The list will have nothing of value to people who are not players at the club and you will most likely be rejected if you ask to join but your name is not recognised by list managers.

The resulting page that you see will be slightly different depending on your status as known to Google - see the pair of screenshots for examples. If your browser is already signed in with a Google account, then it shows the "ask to join group" button. Otherwise it replaces it with a "Contact group managers" button (which will not help much) plus a "Sign in" button that allows you to either sign in with your Google account or to create a new Google account.

A GMail address is always a valid "Google Account" as far as we know, but you can also associate other email addresses with a Google account. It is the same process as needed when somebody shares a google photos or google drive link with you, so your email address might already be a "google account". The steps are:

  1. Click on "Sign in" and enter the email address that you want to use to receive these messages. Response is either:
    • "Couldn't find your Google Account": means this email address it not linked to any google account (proceed to step 2), or
    • "Enter your Password": this means that the account is a google account, so you can either enter your password and continue, or else go through the password recovery process. Failing this, we can manually add valid google account email address to our list: either message us above or approach us at a meeting one night.
  2. No Google Account? Click on the "Create account" link and select "for my personal use"
  3. Give a name -> next
  4. Enter something into birthday and gender -> next
  5. then either create a new gmail address, or select "Use your existing email". Remember this is the address that will receive the club emails.
  6. Complete the process of assigning a password, confirming your email address and anything else
  7. You should now see the "Apply to Join" link
