Winner, winner, chicken dinner
Time is running out for those who want to join us at our trivia fundraiser.
In three weeks’ time we’ll be taking over the second floor at Surry Hills’ Keg & Brew Hotel - and all money raised on the night will go towards reducing the cost of our Christmas party.
On the night we’ll also be hosting a raffle. In next Monday’s newsletter we will reveal the list of donations and details on how to purchase tickets.
To date we’ve lined up a number of amazing prizes - totalling over $2,700 in value!
How do I sign up?
To help us raise as much moolah as possible, we’re inviting our community (and their friends and family) to join us for our very own battle of wits. Expect fun, prizes, giveaways and good times!
Tickets to our trivia night cost $12 and places are limited. To secure your spot (and to find out more information about the event), load up the link below.

Changes within
As recently mentioned, we at GB HQ have made the decision to merge the Gig Buddies Sydney and Gig Buddies Central Coast newsletters and social media accounts.
As of Monday 31 August we will discontinue the Gig Buddies Central Coast’s Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn accounts. Additionally, the Gig Buddies Central Coast newsletter will end.
Between now and 31/8 we will contact those who are signed up or subscribed to the Gig Buddies Central Coast newsletters and social media accounts.
Moving forward, for those based on the Central Coast, they can still get their share of Gig Buddies’ news by following or subscribing to the Sydney equivalents.

And in other social media news, Gig Buddies Sydney has officially joined TikTok!
We’re just starting out with the platform and we’re encouraging our supporters to give us a follow, like our videos and share them with your friends to help us spread the word and build up our community.

Share your story
And finally, have you ever had a bad experience with a security guard or bouncer when trying to get into a pub, club or event?
Or maybe you have had a really great experience, where the bouncer was really helpful and understanding?
If so, we want to hear from you!
We have been asked to write an article about our experiences with bouncers and security guards.
The feature will be published by ASIAL (Australian Security Industry Association Limited), the peak body for security companies who oversees the employment of security guards and bouncers.
Read by 1000s of security officers across Australia, this is your opportunity to share your experiences and maybe bring about change!
We want to hear your good and bad experiences with security guards and bouncers.
