Legends Pat Cash, Wendy Turnbull and John Alexander were amongst a buzzing room of members and guests, along with AO competitors Luke and Daria Saville and Omar Jasika. Luke, Omar and recently retired WTA player Zoe Hives are recipients of IC Australia Grants this year and came along to share their stories and meet fellow IC members. Visiting IC members Julie Richardson (New Zealand) and Gill Butterfield (Bermuda), were also welcomed at the event. This was the first event of a full dance card for the IC of Australia at the Open.
