We are thrilled to announce a special event that brings together sports enthusiasts, community leaders, and longtime Tweed supporters like you!

Please mark your calendars for an exciting afternoon of camaraderie, celebration, and fundraising at our Sportsperson’s Fundraising Lunch!

Event: The Lion’s Long Lunch

Date: Friday, 4th August

Time: 12:00pm – 3:00pm

Venue: Seagulls Club, Gollan Drive, Tweed Heads NSW 2485

This unique luncheon serves two important purposes. Firstly, we aim to raise funds for the Tom Searle Scholarship Fund, a noble cause that supports individuals’ success away from the sporting arena.

Tom Searle was renowned for spotting talented young players and helping them achieve the best they could be. When interviewed at last year’s lunch, Preston Campbell spoke of Tom’s genuine interest in his wellbeing and his life away from football and how that helped him.

We aim to keep this legacy alive through the scholarship program while we encourage all our players to have two ‘Plan As’ in pursuing their ambitions on and off the field.

Secondly, we want to reconnect and celebrate the extraordinary history of our club’s old boys and girls, who have played a pivotal role in shaping our rugby league community here on the Tweed Shire and Gold Coast.

With a theme that pays homage to the spirit of sportsmanship, this event promises to be a memorable occasion for all attendees. We will have a lineup of distinguished guest speakers who will share inspiring stories and insights related to sportsmanship and generosity.

Additionally, we will showcase era-specific highlights that will take you down memory lane, reliving the triumphs and memorable moments from our club’s history.

To ensure you don’t miss out on this fantastic event, we will be sending you regular updates and reminders via email and social media. Look forward to updates containing event highlights, guest speaker announcements, and more. Keep an eye on your inbox and stay connected with our social media channels to be in the know!

We kindly request your support in spreading the word about this event within your network. Let’s join hands to make a difference and celebrate the power of Rugby League and community.

Save the date, Friday, 4th August.
Together, we can make an impact and create lasting memories.
