From the QGRC CEO

It’s been years in the making but now Ipswich has a $90M sport and entertainment facility on its doorstep.

Future development will see a Veterinary Clinic being added to the site and the Queensland Greyhound Racing Club’s business mix.

The Club was formed by the amalgamation of the Brisbane Greyhound Racing Club and the Ipswich Greyhound Racing Club. Both Clubs have given up their spiritual homes at Albion Park and the Ipswich Showgrounds to move to Purga and the new home of greyhound racing in Queensland.

There is a growing number of people that think the facility is possibly the best in the world says current greyhound boss Jason Scott, I think they might be right he says.

While Greyhound Racing will always be at the core of the Club’s existence, it’s the community club business that has the focus of the Board and Management team. Greyhound Racing can largely run itself but it’s the community club that requires focus and know-how to ensure visitors to the club have a great experience and want to return time and time again, says Scott. For the team at the Q, it’s all about an awesome customer experience and they are fully committed to this.

We still have some work to do to be 100% operational, procurement of our pokies has taken longer than we anticipated but they are in the process of being installed now, our rewards program is almost finalised and as a member, you’ll enjoy exclusive access to giveaways, members-only draws, and special events throughout the year.

Members will be able to enjoy discounted food and drinks across our menu, from hearty meals to café treats and great coffee. Plus, earn points with every purchase that you can redeem for even more rewards.

Members also get birthday surprises, and priority booking for popular nights and events. It’s free to join, easy to use, and packed with value. Whether you’re a regular or just popping in, Q Rewards is the best way to make the most of your time with us.

The Q officially opens to the public this Saturday 7 June, there will be rock climbing, face painting and balloon twisting from 11am, entry is free. Don’t worry there’s plenty on offer for the big kids too, including a Lazer light show at 7.30 and an awesome night packed with plenty of Greyhound racing action including the Group 1 Ladbrokes Flying Amy Classic.
