OUR GUEST OF HONOUR: We are privileged to welcome Sam Loxton’s biographer MARTIN ROGERS all the way from the Gold Coast.

The publication of Martin’s 90,000 word tribute to Sam is timely. Sam would have been 100 years young on March 29, 2021.

Prahran Cricket Club has moved to further honor Sam with
the naming of the Sam Loxton Oval at Toorak Park. It is hoped Stonnington will officially recognise Sam’s amazing contributions to Prahran and cricket when the rebuild of the facilities at Toorak Park are completed in 2023.

Join Sam’s mates and experience the highs of Sam’s unique life at Sam’s centenary celebrations.

Signed by Neil Harvey copies of the book are available on the day, at $50 each, or $40 if you are prepaying for lunch.

This event is restricted to the first 75 who pre-pay.
