The Locker Room Lunch

Thursday the 9th of June was the first “Locker Room Lunch” to take place in the famous Trophy Room of The Paddo Tavern. This was the brainchild of Matt Coorey (Venue Manager) whom is well known for organising a great lunch with good food and great service.

The day went off without a hitch and the pace was set from the start thanks to the combined efforts of Matt and Marty Rowan at the helm. They kept the audience entertained and assisted hearing some great stories from guest speakers Bart Sinclair and Broncos Coach Anthony Griffin. Not to forget the opportunity for Marty to take the piss out of me as well.

The auction item was a race day package valued at $3500 sponsored by Coca-Cola Amatil which fetched a princely sum of $4,000 thanks to Greenbank RSL and Aruze Gaming.

I am overwhelmed by the support from the day and I wanted to take one final opportunity to thank the following people for supporting my fundraising efforts on the day.

1. McGuires Hotels and family but particularly Matt McGuire and the new member to the McGuire family Matt Coorey
   


2. The Bronco’s – Marty Rowan and his team and Super Coach Anthony Griffin
   


3. Bart Sinclair for finding the time to fit the lunch into his hectic schedule



4. Aruze Gaming & Greenbank RSL for their generosity. I will make sure you are looked after on the day
   


5. Coca-Cola Amatil – Thanks to Peter Davis for the support with the auction item




6. Finally - All who attended and contributed to the raffle as well
