The Lord's Taverners
Peel Region Branch Inc. - Western Australia
"giving the young and disadvantaged a sporting chance"
The Lord's Taverners was established in the UK in 1950 when a group of actors, who regularly watched cricket from the bar at Lords, decided they should do something for those less fortunate than themselves, hence the above slogan, which outlines the cause. (See lordstaverners.org)
Lord's Taverners Australia was founded in 1980 and the Western Australian branch in 1983. The WA branch has in excess of 300 members and has raised and distributed over $500,000.
In 2004 the Peel Region WA branch was established, raising and donating in excess of $70,000 to the betterment of disadvantaged youth in the Peel Region. The major benefactor being Fairbridge Village where we have donated some $40,000 for the refurbishment of Fairbridge Oval. In recognition of this support the Fairbridge Village board of governers have renamed the oval "The Lord's Taverners Oval".
We invite you to join us in our attempt to help the young and disadvantaged release their inhibitions on a playing field rather than a pavement!
The Association is essentially benevolent (as distinct from charitable) and operates on its membership fees, sponsorships, fund raising activities and other donations.
