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 2025 Lord’s Taverners ACT Annual General Meeting was held at Royal Canberra Golf Club on Tuesday 23 September. Ms. Nanette Bak was re-elected President unopposed as were the positions of Vice President – Mr Murray Radcliffe, Secretary – Mr Chris Hunter and Treasurer – Mr Keith Hardy.

Also at the AGM, presentations were made to 10 worthy disadvantaged young athletes in recognition of their achievements this year.

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 2025, the Annual Dinner will be held at Canberra Rex Hotel, 150 Northbourne Avenue, Braddon on Thursday 23 October 2025 from 6.30 pm to 9.30 pm. Cost per ticket is $150.00 (member), $160.00 (non-member) or $1200 for a table (8 people). Click here to purchase your tickets. 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 2024, the Multi-Sports Day was held on Wednesday 10 April at The Dome in Fadden with the generous support of CBR Cyber.
