The Lord's Taverners ACT

Fundraising events are one of the most important ways we raise funds for local young and disadvantaged cricketers and other athletes. You don’t have to be a member to attend – our events are open to the general public. Come along and join the fun, meet some great people, and help us give the young and disadvantaged a sporting chance.

Annual General Meeting

The 2026 Lord’s Taverners ACT Annual General Meeting will be held at Royal Canberra Golf Club on Tuesday 22 September commencing at 6.00pm. An agenda for the AGM will be made available soon.

Also at the AGM, presentations will be made to disadvantaged young athletes in recognition of their achievements.

Annual Dinner

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 2026, the Annual Dinner will be held at the Commonwealth Club, 25 Forster Crescent, Yarralumla on Thursday 19 November 2026 from 6.30 pm to 9.30 pm. Cost per ticket for members and non-members is to be advised. The committe is working frantically to secure a high profile guest speaker, details to be announced soon.

All-Abilities Multi-Sports Day

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 2026, the Multi-Sports Day for primary schools was held on Wednesday 18 March at The Dome in Fadden with the generous support of Brennan IT.

Lord Taverners are making every effort to arrange a Multi-Sports Day for senior schools in November 2026.
