Join the HUB CLUB

What does $25 buy you in Sydney these days? We have some suggestions: how about lunch at the Crown Street Fish Shop offering Sydney’s best seafood as named by the City Hub? Or belly laughs for you and a mate at one of several comedy shows during the Sydney Comedy Festival? Or a date at the hottest band comp up at the Cross at the World Bar? These are just some of the items that are on offer if you join the HUB CLUB by putting $25 into the City Hub’s crowdfunding campaign: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/don-t-make-your-news-limited.

All of the items that are on offer when you join the HUB CLUB have been contributed by local businesses to support the City Hub. And when you buy them, not only are you getting something of value, you are also doing something valuable for the local community by helping save the City Hub — Sydney’s last independent newspaper.

When you contribute to our crowdfunding campaign, for as little as $10 you automatically become a member of the HUB CLUB — entitling you to a weekly news update and an exclusive invite to our 20th birthday bash later this year. People who belong to the HUB CLUB are on the lookout for independent perspectives and alternative things to do. And we want you to join.

If you contribute $50 to our campaign, not only do you automatically become a member of the HUB CLUB, you and a friend can also get a $50 meal voucher to Three Williams, Redfern’s trendiest cafe. Or you can get a $50 dinner voucher to La Mint, East Sydney’s uber cool Vietnamese restaurant. Or for $50 you can take someone special to the Hellfire Club, Sydney’s ultra hip fetish club or if you’d prefer something more traditional you can get two passes to Sydney’s largest wedding expo.

By joining the HUB CLUB you automatically get weekly updates, regular giveaway offers and so much more. If you want to find out more, come to the launch of the HUB CLUB on Tuesday 14 April upstairs at the Beauchamp Hotel (at the corner of Oxford Street and South Dowling). Not only will half of the upstairs bar go to our campaign, but you’ll get a chance to meet other members of the HUB CLUB, Sydney’s coolest alternative group in town.

Here are just some of the items on offer when you join the HUB CLUB by contributing to our crowdfunding campaign. Each week for the next month we will provide additional details of the many perks that are on offer when you join the HUB CLUB.
