The guest speaker this year is cricket legend Doug Walters, whose popularity as one of Australia’s cricketing greats has continued long after his retirement from first-class cricket.
Doug scored 5,357 Test runs. His highest score was 250 against New Zealand in 1977, his average stands at 48.26 and during his career he made 33 50’s and 15 100’s. Doug also took 49 Test wickets. Today Doug is still very much involved in cricket - commenting on Test Matches for Channel 9, participating in most of the Toohey’s Country Cup Matches in the country and conducting coaching clinics for youngsters.
All Maleny clubs are eligible to enter and the MDSRC awards organisers encourage as many as possible to participate in this great sporting event for the Range. Seating will be limited to the Pavilion capacity so early dinner table bookings for the evening are advised.
Patrons will again be treated to a delicious dinner prepared by Sherry Wright and John Mays will entertain everyone with his music.
