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.
The Anniversary Luncheons commenced in 1995 following the highly successful 75th Anniversary Dinner which was celebrated at the Queensland Parliamentary Annexe on Friday, 29 April 1994. Her Excellency the Governor of Queensland, Mrs Leneen Forde AC attended that dinner and gave the anniversary address.     

Our Patron, Her Excellency, Penelope Wensley AC Governor of Queensland, as guest speaker at the 2009 Anniversary Luncheon, amazed those present with her overview of the breadth of her duties and responsibilities.
