TINKER AIR FORCE BASE, Oklahoma -- The Tinker Club is going through a time of transformation and to meet the needs of Tinker’s populace, will convert to an event center beginning March 1.
Dwindling membership numbers resulting in financial losses for the club are contributing factors to the change. No more lunches or dinners will be served after March 1, but the facility will continue to be a place to gather for comradery, meetings and events. The lounges and barber shop are currently planned to continue.
With the conversion to an event center, there will no longer be a charge for use of rooms. Services offered at the facility such as the lounges and barber shop are currently planned to continue to operate within the new Tinker Event Center.
Continuing with the transformation, the Tinker Event Center will shut down sometime this summer to undergo a complete overhaul to the HVAC System. During the renovation time, the lounge will move to the golf course, with the barber shop still planned to operate out of the new event center. More details will come later.
