The Lyceum Lecture
The Lyceum Lecture began in 1998. A woman, pre-eminent in her profession
and from anywhere in Australia is invited to speak on a topic of
her choice which reflects the interests of Lyceum, that is art,
literature, music, science, education journalism and current affairs.
The Lyceum Lecturer presents aspects of her research and its outcomes
or provides an interpretation of her special interests.
The Lyceum Lecture is an evening dinner meeting and is eagerly
anticipated by both members and their guests. It is the major event

90th Anniversary Luncheon
The Anniversary Luncheon commemorates the founding of the Lyceum
Club in Brisbane on Friday 2 May 1919 and is held annually in late
April or early May.
It is a very special occasion for the Club and is accompanied either
by a performance of a play or music or an address by a well known
speaker.
