Norths Rugby Club

🦅 WHY YOUR BUSINESS SHOULD BE AT THE NORTHS RUGBY CLUB CORPORATE LUNCH 🦅

Looking for a reason to get your team out of the office this October? Here's five.

🤝 Team culture - A relaxed Friday afternoon out with your team, away from the desk.

🏉 Back a club on the rise — Support Norths Rugby Club as it grows, also see what sponsorship opportunities there are for our 2027 season.

📈 Real networking — Hours seated with clients, prospects and other Brisbane businesses, not a stand-around-with-a-name-tag event.

🌐 Meet beyond your industry — A room full of people you wouldn't normally cross paths with. Some of the best connections start there.

💰 Genuine value — $1,500 for a table of 8 gets you a two-course lunch, 4.5-hour drinks package, guest speakers, raffles and the Rugby Calcutta.

🎤 This year's guest speakers: Gordon Bray (The Voice of Rugby) and Vern Cotter (QLD Reds Coach).

From Norths c**ts to the URC 👏

We’d like to congratulate Callum Reidy on his selection in the Glasgow Warriors Round 1 squad for the 2026/27 URC season.

‘Dragon’ came through the Norths pathway as a C**t before making the step into Grades, representing the club from 2022–2025. As a c**t he was recognised in 2024 as C**ts Player of the Year.

A proud moment for Callum, his family, and everyone at Norths who has been part of his journey.

Go well Dragon, Norths are right behind you 🦅
