INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY
JASMINE FUHLBOHM
For 7 years, Jasmine has been an integral part of the Magpies family, starting her journey as a youthful 17 year old. What makes Magpies more than just a club for her is the profound sense of community, the familial atmosphere, and the meaningful relationships she has cultivated with both staff and patrons. Magpies, to Jasmine, is not merely an establishment; it’s a distinct culture.
Jasmine draws inspiration from her remarkable role model, her mother, whose strength shone through during a challenging time. Losing her partner, Jasmine’s father, to a heart attack when she was just 10 years old, she witnessed her mother’s resilience and hard work, principles that have become deeply ingrained in Jasmine. The loss of her father compelled her to mature quickly, instilling in her a drive to make a positive impact. Motivated by her personal journey, Jasmine has dedicated herself to a cause close to her heart. In response to her father’s passing, she tirelessly raised over $7,000 and heightened awareness about the crucial need for defibrillator machines. Her efforts reached various charities, organisations, and locations within the Mackay community that lacked access to this vital resource.
Jasmine’s pride lies in her career at Magpies, a journey that began as a barista and recently led to her appointment as the Duty Operations Manager at the remarkable age of 24. The pinnacle of her achievements was being honoured with the 2024 Mackay Young Citizen of the Year Award. For young women aspiring to carve their paths, Jasmine offers empowering advice: “It’s your life, and only you can steer it. Run your own race, and don’t get caught up with other people’s success. Everyone is different and capable of great things.”
XIANGHONG LI (LI)
Meet Li, one of our staff members here at Magpies. Originally from Shenzhen, China, a city near Hong Kong, Li embarked on a new chapter in her life when she moved to Australia in 2014 to join her husband in Mackay. Back in China, Li dazzled audiences as a singer and performer, specialising in the mesmerising art of face changing, a highlight act of Sichuan Opera. Her talents have taken her across the globe, with performances in Singapore, Russia, Malaysia, and Indonesia. She recently performed her act at Magpies to celebrate Chinese New Year.
Since joining the Magpies family three months ago, Li has found a sense of belonging and warmth, describing it as a big, welcoming family.
Despite facing challenges, including her husband’s recent diagnosis of prostate cancer, Li remains resilient and grateful for the support of her colleagues, particularly Kelsey, who has been a wonderful mentor and friend. While hospitality initially sounded daunting to Li, she has since embraced the opportunity Magpies has given her, finding joy in the challenge, and gaining confidence every day. Her advice to women chasing their dreams? “Never give up. Persistence is key, and with determination, success is inevitable.”
MANDATORY HOSPITALITY QUALIFICATIONS
Magpies Sporting Clubs requires all employees who are involved in the service or supply of liquor to hold a current responsible service of alcohol (RSA) certificate. All employees who carry out any gambling duties must hold a current responsible service of gambling (RSG) certificate. Both of these qualifications must be obtained from a nationally recognised provider.

Today we celebrated Finchy’s 15-year anniversary at Magpies with a special morning tea alongside the Magpies flock.
Fifteen years ago, Andrew first walked through our doors as a work experience student in Centro Restaurant — but it didn’t take long for him to catch the Magpies bug, and he’s been a valued part of the team ever since!
Thank you, Andrew, for your loyalty, dedication, and years of hard work. We truly appreciate everything you do. #MagpiesStaff #15YearsStrong #TeamMagpies

We’re excited to announce Lucys Lucky Tags & Dog Rescue Inc as our next donation tin recipient 💗
From 7th April to 6th July, every bit of loose change collected will go towards rehabilitating dogs in need and finding them loving forever homes, as well as custom pet identification tags and volunteer microchip scanning in our region.
This cause is especially close to the heart of Bianca from our Magpies team (pictured), who has been supporting this charity by fostering dogs over the past 9 months. 🐾
There are still two more opportunities in 2026 to support other local causes! A huge thank you to our members and guests — your small change is making a big difference. 💫

After almost 16 years behind the wheel of our Courtesy Bus, Ken is officially hanging up the keys and heading into retirement! 🚌
He has been a familiar friendly face to so many of our members over the years, always ready for chat with a smile. His dedication and reliability have been second to none, and he’s seen plenty of changes along the way… but one thing that never changed was Ken’s commitment to driving the community safely.
Ken told us he’s got big travel plans for retirement… although with fuel prices, we’re not sure how far he’ll get! 😄⛽ From all of us, thank you Ken for 16 years of service. Enjoy retirement! #MagpiesStaff

NEW GENERAL MANAGER | We would like to give our members and guests an update regarding our General Manager position.
Unfortunately, Mitch Milanovic finished up last week with us due to family commitments. We’re sad to see Mitch go and would like to sincerely thank him for his time at Magpies. His leadership has helped give us a strong start to our major redevelopment, and we appreciate the contribution he’s made to the Club. We wish Mitch and his family all the very best.
We’re pleased to welcome back a familiar face, Lee Skerman, who has stepped into the role of General Manager. Many will recognise Lee as Magpies’ former General Manager, and we’re excited to have him return to guide the team through the next stages of our redevelopment. We know there will be plenty of members and guests looking forward to Lee’s return, and we’re excited about what’s ahead for the Club.
