Tickets are now on sale for the Bathurst Panthers Sportsman's lunch on Friday 23 May, in the lead up to the Penrith Panthers and Newcastle Knights NRL game on Saturday 24 May.
Mayor Councillor Robert Taylor said the lunch is one of the highlights of the Panthers visit to Bathurst for their annual NRL match.
“The popular lunch is a chance to hear from Panthers premiership winning coach Ivan Cleary and Panthers CEO Matt Cameron along with players from the team. The question and answer sessions gives lunch guests a chance to hear insights into the current NRL season. It’s an opportunity to get an insight into the NRL from those who live and breathe rugby league at this level every day.”
The lunch includes the question-and-answer session and a two-course meal. Tickets are $90 per person. Raffles will be held during the event, with all proceeds going to Bathurst Junior Rugby League Clubs.
Councillor Taylor said tickets are continuing to sell well for the NRL match.
“Corporate hospitality and the grandstand tickets are sold out. General admission tickets are selling quickly. Last year’s game sold out and there were plenty of disappointed football fans in the lead up to game day.
“If you want to be on the ground at Carrington Park to take in the action, jump online and buy a ticket today.”
Registrations are now also open for the Play like a Panther Clinic presented by Westfund Health Insurance on Thursday 22 May between 4pm and 5.30pm; and there will be a Panthers meet and greet on Thursday 22 May at 6.30pm at Panthers Leagues Club in the Sports Bar.
