Western Australian Cricket Association Function Kit 2012-2013
Function Facilities The WACA Ground offers a range of innovative and unique function facilities. Opportunities abound at the WACA with exciting corporate entertaining facilities. Whether it be the atmosphere of the Willow Alfresco area that takes advantage of our unique Western Australian climate, or the magnificent ambience and opulence of the Bradman, we have a broad range of function areas to meet your every corporate function requirement. Are you tired of the impersonal four walls that categorise many function rooms in hotels and function centre? Well then it is time for a change! Facilities Boundary The Boundary has many variables which allow it to accommodate guest numbers up to approximately 500 persons (theatre style), and can be comfortably divided into Boundary North & South. The Boundary is located in the Lillee-Marsh Stand with quality furnishings and fittings throughout. Ideal for the larger conference group, the more formal dinner, and the larger cocktail event with style, this room also features a variety of audio visual services to further enhance your event. Willow This premium split level function area features down-the-wicket views of the WACA Ground. This room is ideal for a range of cocktail events, buffet dinners, informal lunches and business presentations. Willow Alfresco Enjoy the benefits of entertaining in the true outdoor climate for which Western Australia is famous. This area is the ideal accompaniment to the Willow and affords you the luxury of an area perfect for cocktail parties and the less formal event. President's This represents one of the most outstanding corporate meeting and entertaining alternatives available in the Perth sports environment. With breathtaking views from the fourth level of the Prindiville Stand, the Presidents is ideally suited to business meetings, business lunches and functions with a different visual perspective. Bert Rigg & Bryant s These more traditional function rooms represent a range of options that fulfil all your business meeting needs. These rooms can accommodate meetings in various room configurations from 10 to 80 guests. Kim Hughes This is one of the most unique venues in Western Australia, allowing you to experience the atmosphere of international cricket whilst hosting your next business meeting or function with a difference. An invitation to the Kim Hughes in the Players Pavilion will be valued for any of your business guests or special clients. Bradman The Bradman lends itself to company board meetings, sophisticated cocktail parties, as well as dinners with class and character. To describe this room as simply a venue is to understate its place as a truly unique experience. In the tradition of the legend himself, whose name it bears, the Bradman is an ideal room for a great sense of occasion. 2
