Healthy Burgers with Benefits…

Grill’d recently opened up their Drummoyne store at 207/211 Lyons Rd, Drummoyne (opposite Hampden Road) and they’re already making a mark in the community by supporting a number of local organisations.

Happily, Drummoyne Swimming Club is one of the organisations that Grill’d will be supporting and we are very excited to have Grill’d join us as a Gold Sponsor this summer.

Grill’d will be providing a variety of sponsorship benefits including weekly prizes, vouchers and more.

We’ll have our mid season-social night at Grill’d later this year and our end of season lunch.

Show your thanks

Next time you are thinking about a night out, picking up some take away or ordering in via Uber Eats or the like, make sure you think of Grill’d.

When you drop in to the store make sure you say thanks to Justin and the team for their commitment to the club and local community!

Healthy food that’s healthy for the planet, and tastes as good as it feels.

Please join me in welcoming back our generous Silver Sponsor Inspirations Paint Five Dock.

Run by Alfio and Katia Arlotta, Inspirations Paint Five Dock have sponsored the club for a number of years and have graciously decided to support the club again this season.

Please show your appreciation to Alfio and Katia by utilising their services and purchasing your painting supplies from their store on Lyons Road near Brent Street.

Keep an eye out for Alfio at the pool this summer – Alfio is a keen tennis player but we’re trying to get him to join us for some some laps.
