More than 145 Old Boys and friends gathered at The Kirribilli Club for the Annual Thistle Lunch last Friday (28 April). In conversation with event MC, Hamish Bayliss (OKG97) our guest speakers, former Wallaby, Nathan Charles (OKG06) and former Australian Test cricketer, Matthew Nicholson (OKG92), shared their experiences of receiving the call to play for Australia and some great stories from behind the scenes. The event also included a live auction and raffle draw, with all proceeds going to the Old Boys for Old Boys Program. The Program aims to connect Old Boys and their families with support when it is needed most. Thanks to all who attended for their support and generosity. We wish to acknowledge the generous support of event sponsor, Peak Investment Partners and Knox Rugby Club’s sponsor, BeChallenged, for providing a small gift to each attendee, as well as auctioneer, Lorenzo Giunti of auctionWORKS, and the generous donors of auction prizes: Whale Beach Bliss, Marramarra Lodge, Zilzie Wines and Endeavour Brewing Co. Thanks goes to the OKGA Events Sub-committee: Andrew Ericsson (OKG90), Rob Johnson (OKG78), Jamie Thomson (OKG86), Grahame Pratt (OKG77) and Anthony Herbert (OKG90) for their hard work in pulling this event together.
