The room
One function room built over the Georges River, with cathedral ceilings, exposed timber and full-height windows onto the water. It opens onto a wraparound deck where morning tea and lunch are served.
The room seats 60 at round tables of six to eight, so the whole group can see the screen, hear each other and work as a table. In 2026 we grouped tables by service where we could.
- Screen, projector and a wireless microphone
- Free Wi-Fi for every guest
- White linen, notepads, pens and water on every table
- A venue coordinator and wait staff on hand all day
The river, the bay and the bridge
The club stands on piers over the Georges River at Sans Souci. From the deck you look across to the Captain Cook Bridge and out to Botany Bay.

The 2026 Forum, in thirty seconds
Moments from all four 2026 sessions, in March and May. There is no sound. Use the button on the video to pause it.
Getting there
Doors open at 8:45am. The day runs 9am to 4:30pm. Allow a little extra time on a Monday morning and arrive relaxed.
Street parking was free in 2026. Try these in order.
- Free street parking on Riverside Drive, right outside the club. Spaces are limited, so allow ten to fifteen minutes.
- Overflow parking on Rocky Point Road, on the east side near the Captain Cook Bridge. It is about a five minute walk along the waterfront path under the bridge.
- The St George Motor Boat Club car park at 2 Wellington Street, about a kilometre from the club, is another option if the street is full.
- By train, take the T4 line to Kogarah station. From the city it is about 25 minutes.
- From Kogarah station, catch bus 477 (towards Miranda) from Railway Parade, Stand C. Get off at Rocky Point Road at Wellington Street. Allow 15 to 20 minutes on the bus.
- From the bus stop, the club is about six minutes on foot (about 500 metres) down to Riverside Drive.
- By taxi or rideshare, Sydney Airport is about 20 minutes away and the city about 40 minutes outside peak hour. Give the driver the street address.
Food and drink on the day
Morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea are made in the club kitchen and served on the deck or at your table. Barista coffee comes with morning tea. Tell us your dietary needs when you book and the kitchen looks after them.
The club bistro and bar
The public bistro and bar sit beside the function room with the same river views. Bistro hours are Sunday 12pm to 8:30pm and Monday 12pm to 9pm. The club is open Sunday 10:30am to 10pm and Monday 10:30am to 10:30pm.
Staying on after the day
If your table would like to stay for dinner, the bistro takes bookings online. Groups of 8 or more can choose the shared group-dining menu, published at $69 and $89 a person as at September 2026. A set menu suits groups of 17 to 30. Bookings open six weeks ahead.
The bistro and bar stay open to the public while the Forum runs in the function room. Hours and prices change. Check before you book.
Accessibility
A wheelchair ramp leads straight into the building. If you need anything else on the day, ask on the contact page before you travel. We will check it with the club.
