The 2024 Lord’s Taverners ACT Annual General Meeting was held at Royal Canberra Golf Club on Tuesday 17 September.  After the formal proceedings, Cricket ACT representative, Stuart Karpinnen, updated members on plans for the coming Summer, and recipients of our 2024-25 Disability Awards were celebrated. Minutes from the meeting can be found on the Governance page under About Us.

Our Annual Dinner is the premiere member event for the year, featuring a high-profile guest speaker and presentation of our annual Junior Taverners Awards.  It’s also one of our most important fund-raisers helping give the young and disadvantaged a sporting chance.

In 2024, the Annual Dinner will be held at Royal Canberra Golf Club on Thursday 31 October, so please mark your diary now.  Further details will be available soon, including how to book online at our Sticky Tickets Website.

Our annual Drinks Break sees members and guests gathering for craft beer and wine tasting at Farrah’s Liquor Collective, with nibbles courtesy of Eat Your Words Catering.  Usually held towards the end of November, this is a great opportunity to stock up for the festive season, with proceeds helping to give the young and disadvantaged a sporting chance.

Our 2024 Drinks Break will be held on Wednesday 4 December, so mark your diary!  More details will be available shortly.

Our All-Abilities Multi-Sports Day is fast becoming a staple in the Lord’s Taverners ACT calendar.  The event sees children of varying ability from several Canberra schools participating in a round-robin of games, followed by a BBQ for children, teachers and our support volunteers.

In 2024, the Multi-Sports Day was held on Wednesday 10 April at The Dome in Fadden with the generous support of CBR Cyber.

Our annual Winemaker’s Dinner showcases wines from the Canberra region and the skills of local chefs. Funds raised from the dinner directly support our annual Disability Awards.

Our 2024 Dinner was held on Thursday 23 May at the Canberra Rex Hotel. Winemakers Bob Furbank and Julie Chitty from local vineyard Barton Estate introduced members and guests to seven delightful wines, which were skilfully paired with a delicious three course meal.

Our movie nights are a fabulous way to keep up with the latest in cinema offerings while catching up with family and friends and helping give the young and disadvantaged a sporting chance.
