The Good Blokes Walk for 24 will take place in Melbourne from Midday the 26th November to Midday 27th November. In 2020 we raised $24,000.00 for our charity partners Outside the Locker Room and RESN.
The gathering of Good Blokes in a comfortable environment where stories are told and shared, banter is rife and the seeds of many opportunities are created. There is always the enjoyment of a great steak together with a tale or two told whilst enjoying an ice-cold beer or a nice glass of wine.
The Captains Run was a hugely popular event held on 15th July,2021 at the Grand Hyett in Melbourne. Our GBS Members and their guests were treated to an entertaining evening with a number of guest speakers, highlighted by the very engaging and humorous media personality Sam Kekovich.
The evening was designed to be the catalyst of the upcoming GBS calendar program and all in attendance thoroughly enjoyed a wonderful evening. This was a standard setter for the GBS family as it captured our goals od sharing, caring and enjoying great company.
Our recent business lunch at The George on Collins was held on 11th June, 2021, all attendees were entertained by special guest Wayne Carey who shared the journey of his life and sporting career. The afternoon was extremely entertaining and once again the hospitality provided by Greg Kahan with his amazing food and venue was simply outstanding.
On Friday 26th February 2021 in conjunction with Balmain Sports Centre we held our inaugural golf day at the prestigious St Michaels Golf Club in Sydney. The day was a great success and well supported by Wendell Sailor, Nick Davis and of course our ambassadors, Jim “Pumper” Cassidy and Robert “Dipper” Dipierdomenico.
All attendees thoroughly enjoyed both the golf and entertainment whilst supporting our charity partner Prostrate Cancer Foundation of Australia.
The Inaugural Good Blokes Walk For 24 was held on 11th December, 2020 and was an outstanding success. Many members joined in on the walk at various stages to support this wonderful initiative. During the 24 hours there were many conversations shared and stories told that really strengthened the already incredible bond that members have created throughout the life of the GBS.
Four members completed the full 24 hour walk throughout the Melbourne area and it was inspiring to see many members joining the final stages of the walk culminating at The George on Collins, a major supporter of the GBS. David Kemp, Steve Heavey, Jake Edwards and Shaun Wallis all walked the full 24 hours and as a result the GBS raised $24,000.00 for our charity partners Outside the Locker Room and Regional Education Support Network.
