The Manjimup Club is continually working on projects around the community, these projects may span many years or revolve around annual events.

Bolghinup Hut

Concerned citizens have banded together with a plan to save an almost 140-year-old drover’s hut from potentially being destroyed in a bushfire and losing a piece of the region’s history.

The Bolghinup Hut was built by the Giblett family in 1880 and is located in dense scrub and trees about 30km south-west of Pemberton near the Yeagarup Dunes.

The Club has formed ‘Friends of the Hut’, a group working on the relocation of this local history icon.

Rotary Wine Show

To celebrate the Centenary of Rotary International in 2005, the Manjimup Club decided to establish a Regional Wine Show to showcase windows from Pemberton, Manjimup and Blackwood Valley.

The wine show is a significant event in the wine industry’s Calendar and its ongoing success depends largely on the participation of the wineries in the Pemberton, Blackwood Valley and Manjimup Regions.

​

An important part of the Wine Show is the Award Dinner and Trophy Presentation evening.

This evening is always fully attended and is a very important function for all participants in the show sold out quickly and is a magnificent finale to the previous season’s vintage..
