The XXIX Club Annual Dinner will be held on Thursday September 24, 2026, in the Members' Dining Room. Members and their guests will enjoy a three-course sit-down dinner and four-hour beverage package (beer, wine and soft drink).
The night will be hosted by Darren Berry, former Victorian and South Australian wicketkeeper turned cricket coach and commentator.
We're thrilled to welcome cricketing great Ian Healy as our guest speaker.
