Re: taxi club closing
Dear Taxi Members,
This newsletter to you has been, to date, the most difficult to prepare.
We regretfully report that as of Monday morning on the 7th May, 2012, the Taxi Club was forced to close it's doors.
As you are all aware, the past 4-5 years has been an absolute challenging and trying period for our Club. Through regular correspondence and media coverage, the reasoning why has been conveyed to you. We wish to clarify for you the recent efforts and the lead up to this current situation.
Immediately prior to the original announcement of closure, set for April 8th 2012, the Club was approached by the Paddington Bowling Club (PBC) seeking to discuss the possibilities of an amalgamation. The local media coverage of the Taxi's closure prompted PBC to make the approach in support of an iconic Sydney Club. Though this came about at the 11th hour, a meeting was held with representatives from PBC and an encouraging, positive plan was put into motion. The plan to be undertaken would require the Taxi to enter a period of external administration, whilst a Deed of Management was put in place, and ultimately the amalgamation process completed. The foremost priority in this process was to ensure the Taxi did not cease trading. The Taxi positively proceeded with this arrangement and continued uninterrupted trading, in it's original home location.
However, one element of this encouraging plan was to ultimately be the catalyst for it's undoing. This element being the now owners of our home Club venue, Oxford Commercial Real Estate. Despite Oxford having indicated to us some months ago their desire for a long-term lease arrangement, they have now turned away from wanting to continue with us as tenants of the original Taxi Club venue and are proceeding with re-developing the property. Their Council approved plans consist of converting the Club venue into their own commercial office facility, with works to commence immediately.
Though the Club has been required to cease trading, there are concerted efforts now being made to seek a suitable new location for the Club. This will continue in earnest until absolutely all avenues of possibility have been explored.
In the meantime, we would like to take this opportunity to pass on a big heartfelt thank you to those who have loyally continued to support the Taxi, over these years, by enjoying it's presence and assisting it's continued existence. Unfortunately, the Club's support on mass over the past few years was never enough to allow it's independent and on-going trading. This is extremely disappointing as we feel there is no where in Sydney similar to the Taxi Club. It is an asset to the city of Sydney that, if not available, will be sorely missed.
The final and biggest heartfelt thank you goes to the Staff and Board of the Club. During the roller coaster ride that has been the past 4-5 years, they have continued to maintain loyalty and commitment, in an extremely trying environment. This all being driven by the desire to see a unique Club such as ours continue to be there for the people.
The Taxi has always stood totally unique in it's approach, not just to people, but in it's attitude. This reputation is very hard to replace. This is why all efforts are being made to ensure the name of the Taxi Club and what it stands for, will continue somewhere, somehow.
Optimistic this will not be the last correspondence between us…
Warm Regards,
The Taxi Club.
