Helping Hands Murchison and Beechwoods Cafe are so excited to officially open bookings for what is shaping up to be an absolutely fantastic community night out on Friday 5th June.

If you came along last time, you already know the chaos, competitiveness, laughter and bingo drama can get very real… and if you missed it — this is your chance 😄

Dinner bookings are available for 5.30pm and 6pm, before bingo kicks off at 7pm sharp.

Our wonderful Thai Chef Winny will be serving up a delicious range of authentic Thai Street Food, lovingly homemade and packed full of flavour. And for the “plain food” crew — don’t panic — we’ll also have burgers, fish and chips, soups, kids meals and more available too.

We would also love to give a huge shout out to our small but mighty Helping Hands committee, who work incredibly hard behind the scenes for our community. The work they do often goes unseen, but the difference they make within Murchison is enormous.

Most importantly, every single dollar raised stays right here in our own community and goes directly back into helping local people when they need it most.

So grab your friends, your neighbours, your grandparents, your competitive auntie who takes bingo far too seriously… and come along for a fantastic night supporting a very worthy local cause ❤️

To reserve your table, please let us know:

If you will be dining with us
