The Members Dining Room at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground was the setting for the annual VECCI President’s Dinner at which 250 government, member and VIP guests were hosted. The venue created a perfect backdrop for special guests Sir Vivian Richards, Michael Holding and Joel Garner – cricketing legends collectively known as the Calypso Kings.

The journey commenced with welcome drinks in the Dining Room foyer and was followed by a beautiful three course menu designed for the event by celebrated Melbourne Restaurant Il Bacaro.

Formalities included an address by VECCI President Peter McMullin and a message from VECCI Chief Executive Mark Stone.

Special guests joined facilitator Tim Lane on stage for an intimate interview about their illustrious cricketing careers. The popularity of these guests was apparent during the official signing and photo opportunity session.

To end the evening guests were treated to a personal farewell that included petite flower posies gifted to guests as they exited.

The result was a truly memorable evening.
