Love being local 🧡
Thank You, Upper Beaconsfield General Store! 💙
A huge thank you to the Upper Beaconsfield General Store for generously supporting our Game Changer Awards this season.
Each week, these awards recognise players who live our club values of Respect, Teamwork and Perseverance - those who consistently give their best, support their teammates and make Upper Beaconsfield Splash proud, both on and off the court.
Thanks to the General Store's generosity, our award recipients receive a voucher to enjoy hot chips, a milkshake or an ice cream. We can't think of a better way to celebrate a great effort!
The support of local businesses like the Upper Beaconsfield General Store makes a real difference. When local businesses get behind community clubs, they help create opportunities for young people and strengthen community connections.

🚨 WE’RE HIRING A FEW GOOD HUMANS! 🚨
Our businesses are growing, and we’re looking for some happy, capable people to join the team.
☕ Experienced Barista
Confident on the machine and ready to handle a busy service.
☕ Casual Support Barista
Perfect for a uni student or someone looking for 2–3 extra shifts each week.
🚚 Yard Hand & Delivery Driver
A great country job with plenty of variety—deliveries, loading, machinery, maintenance and helping customers. HR licence preferred, but MR drivers will be considered.
We’re looking for people who are friendly, reliable and ready to jump in and help get the job done.
No two days are the same, the coffee is good, and there’s never a shortage of something to do!

Tag someone who might be a great fit! Not necessarily in the cage as illustrated when we bag kindling on quiet days!

We always welcome a little hand/paw as we drop off your firewood delivery. But doing it one by one is ridiculous. But ur still a good boy! 🐕
Order your firewood from us, your local trusted supplier, a family business supplying the hills since 1885 👉 www.genstore.com.au

☕ KNOW YOUR WAY AROUND ONE OF THESE?
If carrying the knock box is part of your daily workout, there’s a fair chance we should talk. 😂
We’re looking for an experienced barista to join our team for 2–3 casual shifts a week across Upper Beaconsfield, Emerald and Gembrook.
You’ll need at least 2 years’ commercial barista experience, confidence running the machine through a busy service, and availability for at least one weekend day.
And if you’ve also got experience opening or closing, leading a team and running a shift, we’d love to hear about that too — there may be supervisor opportunities for the right person.
☕ Good coffee.
💪 Busy cafés.
👋 Great local team.

Or tag the barista in your life who spends half their day carrying the odd knock box around ☕️
