I support this application. I have found the venue to be well run and see no issues with this application being approved.
The business has been a positive addition to the area. I see no issues with the additional (minimal) hours to serve alcohol.
When visiting the venue I have been impressed by the staff.
I wish them well in this application.
I wholeheartedly support this proposal. The owners of the Link & Pin Cafe have created a vibrant culture that supports local musicians and fellow Central Coast businesses alike. The sense of community they have created is truly inspirational. People travel long distances to take in the music at the Cafe on weekends and I’m sure the opportunity to responsibly and legally indulge in a beverage or two whilst in attendance would be very much appreciated. As we navigate a somewhat barren cultural existence in a post pandemic world, we need more venues just like the Link & Pin.
I fully support this application. In my opinion, The Link and Pin team are an outstanding, professional outfit. The value the venue brings to the local community from a musical, cultural and social aspect cannot be under estimated. It is my hope that the standard set by the operation is inspiring to others wishing to bring additional venues to the area for locals and visitors alike to enjoy.
I fully support this application and have been to the venue and found it to be a well run establishment that has been welcoming to all members of the community

I fully support this application. This wonderful cafe and venue is extremely dedicated to supporting local original music. There is no other place like it in the area and it should get all the support it needs to flourish. It is a very well run and welcoming establishment for all locals to enjoy.
The Link & Pin has been a positive addition to the emerging performer's community of the Central Coast. On the number of occasions I have attended the venue I have found it to be a well run cafe with a positive and pleasant environment. NSW needs more Link & Pins!
The Link and Pin is a wonderful and professionally run establishment promoting local music and culture. It is a great draw card for Woy Woy with musicians and music fans from across the state travelling to enjoy the venue and what it has to offer, bringing valuable tourist dollars to the region.

I support this application. The Link and Pin serves the community well by offering a supportive environment for creatives to thrive. The establishment is well run and responsible and appeals to a broad range of the community. The Link and Pin is well respected by musicians locally and from other places. It has become a sought after place to play and to watch music in an intimate and welcoming atmosphere. The central coast definitely needs more places like the Link and Pin where original music can be performed and supported.
We 100% support this application. The venue is well managed, family friendly and a much needed all inclusive place for locals to gather. They provide a platform for young artists to perform in front of a crowd. Since moving to Horsfield Bay, we've not only supported this venue, we've met some really nice locals along the way. We love spending a Sunday afternoon sitting out back listening to the live music. The Central Coast, especially Woy Woy and Umina need more places like The Link & Pin!
We have discovered that the Link and Pin is one of the best places to visit on the peninsula for some good food and drinks, music and very professional service.
I hope this application is approved as we fully support them in this.
The Link & Pin has been a brilliant addition to the local community. Their contribution to the broader economy of the area shouldn’t be underestimated.
The curation of their live music is brilliant, local emerging artists and established acts (from near & far) performing side by side on an intimate stage makes every gig feel really special and creates a sense of community through shared experience. I fully support this excellent establishment.
Over the past 2 years The Link and Pin Cafe has become a staple for the Woy Woy community, providing a friendly space for all people to enjoy food, drinks and their locally famous live music. I'm in a band and i play there on the regular to enthusiastic crowds of amazing humans of all walks of life. More freedom to supply drinks would be an amazing way to support this incredible community they have built, and will hopefully continue to build. I support this application.
The Peninsula would benefit greatly by approving the Link & Pins liquor license. This venue is completely friendly, inclusive and well run.
The owners ensure a safe and welcoming environment for everyone. I couldn’t think of a business more deserving.
I fully support this application. The proprietors of the Link & Pin cafe have created an excellent cultural hub that supports live original music. They give opportunities for all musicians and especially young up and coming artists to perform. I have been many times, the management and staff are always looking after their clients and ensure there is a responsible service of alcohol. Link & Pin is an important business on the Central Coast and should be commended for their contribution to a positive culture they have created.

Full support and echo every other comment - this place is an asset for the central coast which brings vibrance to Woy Woy and should be encouraged to grow. Through its growth many coastie musicians will also benefit
I am in full support for this application.
This venue is one of its kind in Woy Woy and an important part of our cultural scene in our area. Food and drinks are exceptional and they are an important supporter for our local and the Australian live music scene.
Haven't seen any irresponsible handling of alcohol and haven't had any negative interaction with guests or patrons.
The operators of Link And Pin have displayed impeccable manners in conducting the business of entertainment and especially supporting young musicians in an environment of respect that is their legacy.
I support this application, the Link and Pin has created a community in Woy Woy that supports and promotes original local talent. Something that has been lacking for all of my 45 years living in the area.
I support this application in full. Link and Pin provide a much needed cultural uplift for the community and patrons come from far and wide to see live music and soak up the atmosphere.

I support this application
I support this application fully.
Do it for those who want to escape the drone of races being called while surrounded wall to wall with tabs/sports/TV screens.
Do it for those who are tired of cover bands and want to hear original music and see and support local bands current and emerging.
Do it for those who want to go out but struggle with the seductive and deceptive siren songs of poker machines at every other place there is to drink socially.
Do it for Woy Woy!
I support the application,Link and Pin is a small venue providing a welcoming venue for up and coming and established acts,and should be supported in this aim.The venue and management are hopefully providing a pathway for others to follow.

As Link and Pin is great for our local artists and our community.
I support this application.
They provide a fantastic live music option in Woy Woy and on the Central Coast that no-one else do. The customers are there for the music, not to get drunk, gamble or fight.
I fully support this application. The venue is well run, adds vibrancy to its locale and is a much needed variety of live music outlet. Having played shows there a number of times and gigged from Tasmania to Qld, it's importance is paramount in many ways.

I wholly support this creative, supportive, community minded, all inclusive environment/ Cafe. It’s truly a gem on the Coast. First visit yesterday from Sydney. Well worth it for a day trip & I’ll be telling all my Coastie friends to come on down & support this venue and bands!
I fully support the application.
The area has been starved of an original music venue.
This establishment is safe, well run & is regularly bringing visitors from the northern beaches, inner west & Newcastle districts
Hats off Link & Pin
We fully support the application to change the existing license of the Link and Pin. It is a one of it's kind on the Peninsula, frequented by all people's from far and wide. Employing at least 12 people plus the hundred's of live music act's that it has had over its soon to be 2 year's. It is a real credit to the bosses of this establishment for bringing together music, food, people and drink's as well as other entertainment options for the community to enjoy. Your Sincerely
Donna 'O Donnell
I fully support the change to the licensing at The Link and Pin. This venue has put Woy Woy on the musical and foodie map! People from Central Coast Sydney & Newcastle come here to experience the cuisine and the music. It’s popular and makes Woy Woy a favourite destination for a lunch or night out. It is a well run venue and provides employment to a dozen locals.
I absolutely support this application. The staff at the Link and Pin have proven to be a great support to the local musical talent in the area. The venue and the promoted events bring in visitors to the area from areas well beyond the Central Coast. The management provide guidance and practical support for upcoming youth involved in music in the area.
I fully support this application. The Link and Pin cafe supports many local emerging acts, and provide a safe and welcoming environment for all ages to enjoy local music. This facility is an asset to the Peninsula of the Central Coast and should be supported to grow and thrive.
I fully support this application. The Link and Pin has been a great addition to the area, providing a fantastic venue for local live music. The team are an outstanding, professional outfit who really look after their customers.
I fully support this application.
I've found the staff to be responsible in their service, reactive to any poor behaviour and respectful of their surrounding businesses.
I find the venue to be much more along the lines of the type of establishment that encourages creativity and community - more so than your typical pub.
Please assist us in its success.
As a local of 46 years I support this application without reservation. This is a fantastic small business which is run responsibly and with a strong community focus. They deserve our support.
The Link and Pin have resurrected a music scene for the locals and those from further afield, of which I have met with many, to enjoy live music in a relaxed, safe and enjoyable atmosphere, and for those bands to be given an opportunity to play and grow in front of a enthusiastic crowd. The pending application would allow for continued musical enjoyment at this controlled venue for those gaps when the standard food service has been withdrawn, further allowing the growth of Woy Woy as an entertainment and leisure centre.
I have been nothing but impressed with how the Link and Pin is run. I go to many music events and gigs all over the central coast and I can honestly say that the atmosphere and friendliness of the staff and patrons at the Link and Pin are so much better than most other venues. There is a real sense of community in this venue and the fact that they prioritise original music over cover bands is just what the central coast is in need of. I support this application and hope that the Link and Pin continues to provide an ongoing viable alternative the pub and club scene for many years to come.
