RUGBYQUAY - THE FINAL COUNTDOWN

It is with great pleasure that we advise both the new Queensland Rugby Club and Zen Central Restaurant located at RUGBYQUAY will open for business from Monday, 16 August 2010. Further information will be released in the coming weeks regarding RUGBYQUAY's celebration programme and operational hours of the Queensland Rugby Club and Zen Central. We'll also be paying homage to the life of our existing club premises, the Queensland Rugby Club Downtown, as this iconic venue at Eagle Street Pier will soon cease trade for Club Members (when the new RUGBYQUAY premises opens), but will continue to operate for private functions until the end of the 2010. We'll acknowledge its achievements with a parting celebration (details to follow) as we embark on a new era for the Queensland Rugby Club. With the final countdown now underway, stay tuned for further information on the opening of RUGBYQUAY and your new Club premises.

PENFOLDS LUNCH - WENDELL SAILOR

Dual International and Australia's most Flamboyant Sporting Personality

Join us as we celebrate the remarkable playing career of one of Australia's biggest sporting identities, former Kangaroo and Wallaby representative, Wendell Sailor. He talks the talk, now he's walking the walk. Wendell Sailor is a larger than life character who is never far from the headlines, just ask him, he'll tell you himself! Regarded by many as "the most charismatic personality in Australian sport...", Wendell Sailor was an exceptional athlete who is revered as one of rugby league's greatest ever wingers. In a league career spanning nine seasons with the Brisbane Broncos, Wendell crossed for a phenomenal 126 tries in 209 club games, and represented Queensland in 17 State of Origin matches and Australia in 21 internationals.

Wendell's switch to rugby union with his move to the Queensland Reds in October 2001 attracted a blaze of publicity but Wendell's playing performances lived up to the hype, as he was a key strike weapon for the Wallabies.

Wendell is one of the highest profile and most charismatic sporting personalities in Australia. His ability to connect with people of all ages and backgrounds is a very special quality. Having achieved the highest pinnacle in professional sport as a dual international, Wendell is taking his larger than life personality from the sporting arena to the media arena and to our Penfolds Luncheon centre stage this July. This is one not to be missed. BOOK NOW - TICKETS SELLING FAST!
