All Old Melburnians are warmly invited to the 144th Old Melburnians Annual Dinner.

This year we pay homage to the history and legacy of Melbourne Grammar School by celebrating sport through the lens of Australia's national sport - cricket.

We welcome Paul Sheahan AM, the 13th Headmaster and legendary Australian cricketer, Tim Morris (OM 1981), long-standing member of staff and Manager of 1st XI Cricket at Melbourne Grammar School, and Alex Keath (OM 2010), former Australian cricketer and current AFL player. Guided by MC, Ian Cover OAM of the Coodabeen Champions, they will regale us with stories, anecdotes and insights into our shared history.

We will also hear from current Headmaster, Philip Grutzner (OM 1981), as well as President of the Old Melburnians, Martin Scott (OM 1980), while enjoying an evening of fine food and wine and fellowship, right in the heart of Melbourne.
