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.

Winemaker’s Dinner

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 Winemaker’s Dinner will be held on Thursday 23 May at the Canberra Rex Hotel at 6.30 for 7.00pm.  Wines from local vineyard Barton Estate will be paired with a three course meal, and beer and soft drinks will be part of the package.  We’ll have winemakers Bob Furbank and Julie Chitty along to talk about their wines and, as usual, there’ll be an opportunity to buy any wines that particularly appeal to you.

Booking for this event can be made on our events platform by clicking here or following this link: https://www.stickytickets.com.au/QBWA4.  Please book by 5pm Thursday 16 May to guarantee your booking.

Annual General Meeting

The 2023 Lord’s Taverners ACT Annual General Meeting was held at Royal Canberra Golf Club on Tuesday 5 September.  You can find a report on our News page.

The Drinks Break

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.

Annual Dinner

Our 2023 Annual Dinner, which was postponed in November, has now been cancelled. This difficult decision recognises that there is not space in the 2024 calendar for another event.  Members who signed up for the Dinner have been offered the options of transferring tickets to the 2024 Winemakers Dinner or a refund. The winners of our 2023 Junior Taverners awards will be announced shortly and separate arrangements will be made to present the winners with their awards.

Movie Night

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.

We partner with Palace Electric Cinemas in Acton to present new releases and our ticket price includes your seat, sparkling wine on arrival, water, popcorn and a gourmet ice-cream.  You can also win raffles and lucky door prizes.

Our next movie night will be held in the second half of 2024.  Watch out for details here.

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.
