The club will host a fund-raising Sportsman’s Lunch upstairs at the Sebel Function Centre on Friday, October 31.
Guest speaker will be author, raconteur and journalist, Peter FitzSimons of the Sydney Morning Herald.
The event will raise money for Flinders resident Adam Regal and his family, as well as the fight against motor neurone disease.
Mr Regal was diagnosed with MND in late 2013, aged 30.
His father and uncle died of MND when they were aged in their 50s.
It is a terminal neurological disease that causes death between one to five years after diagnoses.
Cost is $120 per person, and there are a limited number of seats available.
This includes three-course meal with tea or coffee, plus one beverage.
There will also be prizes for auction and raffles.
The event runs from 12.30pm-4pm.
