Two of Carlton’s best known supporter groups, Young Carlton Professionals (YCP) and the Carltonians, combined last Thursday night for a cocktail function for their respective members at the majestic Raheen.
Generously hosted by Carlton Vice-President Jeanne Pratt AC, close to 130 guests were treated to a Q&A hosted by Colin Kinnear with three generations of Carlton champions, including current captain Marc Murphy, AFL and Carlton Fullback of the Century, Stephen Silvagni and Carlton Team of the Century member, Trevor Keogh. Carlton Team of the Century members, Greg ‘Diesel’ Williams and Wayne ‘Dominator’ Johnston also attended the event.
The night also featured a live auction of a rare piece of Carlton memorabilia, a Bruce Doull signed Carlton guernsey, with proceeds from the auction donated to the Richard Pratt Fellowships in Prostate Cancer Research.
YCP will host its annual Business Breakfast at PwC on Friday 25 July 2014. The breakfast will include a panel assembled to discuss “Innovation and Technology in a Global Economy” and will include some of Australia’s best known entrepreneurs, including SEEK founder Paul Bassat, Adslot Chairman Adrian Giles and AussieCommerce Group founder Adam Schwab. The panel will be hosted by James Thomson, The Australian Financial Review’s (AFR) Companies and Markets Editor.
