This is your invitation to join us for the second Riverview LIVE and Unscripted Long Lunch in 2027. 

This year, on Friday 22 May, it was a complete sell-out. 

More than 550 guests were welcomed to Doltone House at Darling Island Wharf by the St Ignatius' College Riverview Drumline, setting the tone for a memorable afternoon. 

Ben Dobbin (OR1994) shared hilarious stories from his media career and then stepped into the role of auctioneer, helping raise $28,000 for the Riverview Bursary Program through the live auction alone. 

Vince Sorrenti had the room in stitches. So did Mick Mulvaney and Joe Hockey.  

Kevin Lynch (OR1992) found himself firmly in the spotlight as he fielded questions about his involvement in the Kyle and Jackie O court case. 

The raffle to win your bodyweight in meat was thankfully won by someone weighing a modest 85 kilograms! 

Most importantly, the afternoon raised more than $65,000 for the Riverview College Bursary Program - all without making guests sit through lengthy speeches. 

We think we've stumbled across a winning formula. The LIVE and Unscripted Long Lunch will return in 2027. 

Watch this space for the date. We look forward to seeing you there.

Ben Fordham (OR1994)
