Peer community

120+ operators you can actually ask.

Running an activity venue can be isolating. PALI members share the problems, the numbers and the solutions, in WhatsApp groups, at regional meet-ups and at the AGM.

How members connect

Four ways in, use as many as you like.

Operator WhatsApp group

The busiest part of membership. Ask a question about staffing, pricing, party packages or an inspection and get answers from people running the same business.

Regional meet-ups

Informal gatherings hosted at member venues around the country, see how another operator runs their floor and steal what works.

Annual AGM

Where members set the year's priorities, elect the committee and hear directly from insurers, policymakers and speakers.

Peer mentoring

New venue opening? We'll introduce you to an established operator who's been through fit-out, licensing and first-season trading.

What gets talked about

Real operational problems, answered same day.

These are the threads members lean on most, practical, specific and grounded in what actually works in Irish venues.

  • Staff ratios and rostering
  • Party package pricing
  • Sourcing and replacing equipment
  • Handling an incident or claim
  • Booking systems and software
  • Inspection and compliance prep
House rules

Why the group stays worth being in.

  • Members only, no suppliers pitching in operator channels
  • Commercially sensitive detail stays in the group
  • Ask freely; nobody is expected to have all the answers
  • Moderated by the PALI team, so it stays useful

Get into the room with 120+ operators.

Membership from €300 + VAT a year, including access to every peer channel.
