The South Dynon Social Club was created to bring drivers together in a social environment, away from the footplate. Back in the early 90’s, this would include a family Christmas party, as well as a gym above the locker room at Dynon. After the Freight/Pass split in the late 90’s, it was far too difficult to keep the club together from different depots, and so the Spencer Street Social Club (SSSC) was created for the drivers at Spencer Street. The Club became incorporated in 2005 and has been building in membership ever since.
The main event on the calendar is the annual Christmas function. Held at the end of November, it's a chance for everyone to socialise away from work. This event is combined with the Sparks, with quite a few freight drivers also attending. We also run a Steam special in the winter to a regional pub. These are not the sole benefits of the membership. There are a few more listed below:
Access to the gym @ Southern Cross Station
Coffee Machine in the meal room ($1 / cup for members)
AFL/NRL tickets at the MCG, Docklands & AAMI Park
Bi-monthly BBQ or Bacon & Eggs cook-ups
Monthly Raffles
Annual Family Christmas Party
Membership costs just $3 per week.
