The GSC has kicked off in Tasmania, with the first lunch being held in Hobart on Saturday 3rd September.

Unprecedented demand for tickets saw the annual footy lunch sell out in just 48 hours. The recently retired Chris Judd obviously a massive draw card.

Jason Richardson opened the lunch with a traditional heads and tails trivia challenge that not only tested the members’ racing knowledge, but also set the tone as a celebration of the start of the spring racing carnival.

On the eve of the Swans v Hawks grand final rematch in Sydney we held our second Grassroots Sports Club Sydney lunch at the magnificent Ivy Ballroom. What a day!

'45Downstairs' proved to be the perfect venue for this ‘back to basics’ event.
