Parramatta. Club looses $7 million

Parramatta Leagues Club has had what it believes to be the biggest loss for a club in NSW, $7 million, as big clubs cry poor over poker machine tax increases, the anti-smoking laws and the global financial crisis, according to The Sydney Morning Herald. Six people have been made redundant at the football club. Dr Jennifer Foong, a Quakers Hill GP, has been appointed to the Parramatta Leagues Club board, the first woman to be appointed.
