Tickets are now available for the 2026 Newcastle Advisors Distinguished Gentlemen’s Long Lunch.
This event was created to bring men together for an afternoon of honest conversation, genuine connection and powerful stories.
Every day, men across our community face retirement, redundancy, divorce, financial pressure, grief, business failure and the loss of identity. Too often, they carry it quietly and try to handle everything alone.
The Distinguished Gentlemen’s Long Lunch is about changing that.
This year, we are proud to support Talk2MeBro, an organisation working to reduce su***de to zero through practical mental health education, awareness and early intervention.
We are also incredibly proud to welcome Nathan Stapleton as our featured guest speaker.
Nathan is a former Cronulla Sharks NRL player whose life changed forever after a spinal cord injury left him a quadriplegic. His story is one of resilience, family, purpose and rebuilding your identity when life does not go to plan.
Last year, more than 50 men attended from across Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, the Hunter and Sydney. Together, we raised more than $9,000 for charity, and created conversations that continued long after the event ended.
This is not just another business lunch.
It is an opportunity to bring together the men in our lives, share a meal, hear an unforgettable story and remind each other that strength is not carrying everything alone.
Tickets are now available.
Bring a mate.
Bring a colleague.
Bring the bloke who might never book a ticket for himself.
Because sometimes, one conversation can change a life.
