What is
Big Al’s Clubhouse? Well its a little hard to put into words, when we try to
describe it I always get the same response “wow” this is nothing like I
imagined. So I will do the best I can to give you some sort of mental picture.
Four years ago I bought the adjoining factory unit to where my business is
located. I did this so I could safely store my collection of motor bikes which I
will point out before I go any further are all Yamaha’s. As I go on you will see
what a major role Yamaha plays in Big Al’s Clubhouse.
Since riding I have collected baseball caps from different destinations we have
traveled. So what do you do with all those hats? Put them in a box maybe or do
you hang them on the walls? and this is how it all began. I then started hanging
banners, flags and anything that bore the Yamaha name or logo. Before I knew it
I had exhausted every avenue possible in my venture to turn an empty factory
unit into what I have been told resembles a Yamaha shrine. So I contacted Yamaha
direct and made some great contacts and friends in the process. They were
fantastic and forwarded on a lot memorabilia. As it stands now the Clubhouse is
air-conditioned has a timber dance floor throughout, major disco lighting and
the latest Karaoke and sound system. We are now fully equipped to hold any type
of function any time of the year.
So we have set our sights on fundraising events raising money for child flight.
We have an annual bike show a dance for Childflight night and many other events
during the year. The Clubhouse will never be finished because it has become my
passion and I will always find something to add or improve on.
