On 1 May 2025, members followed the pipes — and the Indian drums — to the Kelvin Club for another proudly sold-out evening celebrating food, friendship, and community spirit.
Guests enjoyed a feast of bold Indian flavours with a specially curated menu by Chef Chris Orr, the Grandmaster of Glasgow Curries and founder of Wee Man’s Kitchen, complete with his legendary Pink Pakora Sauce — a true taste of Scotland in the heart of Melbourne.
We were joined by two international rugby greats — Matt Dunning (former Wallabies prop) and Dan Parks (former Scotland fly-half) — for a lively and heartfelt interview session. Their stories from the world stage were funny, moving, and hugely entertaining.
Most importantly, the night raised vital funds to support Steve Taylor’s granddaughter, Mila, who is living with INAD. Thanks to the generosity of members, guests, and donors — including those who contributed rugby memorabilia for auction — we made a meaningful contribution to Mila’s ongoing care and treatment.
“Thank you to everyone who has donated in support of our little girl who has INAD. Andrew and I are overwhelmed with the love and generosity you have shown. Your support is helping us pursue every possible avenue to give our daughter the best chance at life.” — The Taylor Family
