Ken Rosewall Luncheon 2013

17 July 2013 |

Another successful luncheon was held on Monday 6th May with our Patron, Ken Rosewall, and his guest speaker, Neale Fraser, who was ably interviewed by Garry Wilkinson.  Ken provided confirmation of dates from the floor as the interview progressed but Neale was in fine form with his wit and humour, retelling his pep talks to Pat Rafter when he was down in a Davis Cup match against France and off his game. Neale told him he was playing brilliantly and to keep doing what he was doing. Pat regained his confidence and with his talent and belief won the match in five sets!

Over 200 guests arrived at the Museum for pre-lunch drinks. They mingled with Ken Rosewall and Neale Fraser before proceeding upstairs to the function room for an entertaining afternoon over lunch. The tables were decorated with special centrepieces from the Museum’s collection of trophies to celebrate 30 years of operation.
