🍻 Meet the Team – Ding 🍻
The man, the myth, the legend… Ding!
A true blue Ravenshoe local through and through, Ding has been part of the town’s pub scene for as long as anyone can remember. Growing up, he spent plenty of time around both local pubs while his mum worked in them, so you could say hospitality has always been in his blood.
He’s also left his mark on the Club Hotel in more ways than one—having helped paint and renovate the pub not once, but twice! 😅
Growing up, Ding was a seriously talented athlete and could dominate just about any sport that involved a ball. One of his proudest achievements was coaching the Ravenshoe Tigers Under 16s to a Grand Final victory in 2023—a moment the whole town was proud of.
These days you’ll find him keeping things running smoothly as our cellar man. Whether he’s unloading trucks, changing kegs, lending a hand around the pub, or lining up another game of pool, Ding is always up for a chat.
Locals know him, travellers remember him, and people passing through after years away always make a point of stopping in for a cold beer and a yarn with Dinga… and if they’re feeling confident, they might even challenge him to a game of pool (good luck with that!).
Around here, he’s more than just part of the team…
He’s the unofficial mascot of the Club Hotel Ravenshoe! 🍺
