A huge thank you to everyone who came along and supported our 2026 Bottomless Brunch yesterday!
This year’s event was our biggest yet, with more than 130 people filling the clubrooms! The support shown for the club was amazing to see and we’re so grateful to everyone who bought a ticket, donated prizes, volunteered their time or helped behind the scenes.
A special thank you to Liz Mace, Brenna Mace, Robyn Irvine and Jo Kitchell, who prepared all of the food for the event. It was an effort that involved around 60 hours of preparation and cooking and as always the food was absolutely brilliant!
Thank you also to Michelle Cotter, Sinead Hanlon, Micaela Hanlon, Deb Blakey and Fi Hocking, who prepared the silent auction, with about 7 hours spent on wrapping alone.
To our set up crew — Micaela Hanlon, Ciara and Sinead Hanlon, Georgie O’Sullivan, Shelley Daisley, Michelle Cotter, Fiona Hocking, Heather Stewart and Lauren Ind — thank you for transforming the clubrooms and bringing the Palm Springs theme to life. The set up continued late into Friday night, with volunteers at the club until after 11pm to make sure everything was ready for the day.
A special thank you also to Livio Basile, who spent the entire week preparing the bar and was still at the club after 11pm on Friday night helping get everything ready. Alongside or bar team on the day – James Ind, Luke Pearson and Andrew Bennett – thank you for keeping everyone’s drink filled all afternoon!
Events like this genuinely would not be possible without the incredible people who volunteer their time and energy to our club. Community sport is built on people willing to pitch in, help out and create opportunities for others, and yesterday was another great example of that.
