The History of ClubComm

It began in June 2007.

An overly enthusiastic 18 year old, Monisha Ponnaiya, decided that she would set herself a personal challenge to go to every pub, club and bar in Sydney by the time she turned 19. In order to complete such a feat, she compiled a list of about 200 venues in Sydney and commenced her crawl through the city streets, documenting her findings in one extensive Microsoft Word document.

As she was updating her list during a uni lecture, a friend suggested that she put the information on a website. And so the Ninemsn web group 'ClubComm' was born. ClubComm was an amalgamation of the words "Clubbing Community" - an interactive and exclusive clubbing community to be precise.

By March 2008, the group was 70 members strong, and in keeping with the times, the group made the shift to Facebook in the form of the group "What's on, ClubComm?" Here, the aim was to organise fortnightly events for Monisha's friends given her new found knowledge of interesting Sydney venues.

Since then, the group expanded, the events got bigger and this blog was launched in January 2009. Who knows what will happen next...
