Meet Your Guest Speaker - The King!
Wally Lewis
Affectionately known as ‘The King’, Wally Lewis is more than a Rugby League legend – he’s a Queensland sporting icon and one of the greatest players to ever take the field. Renowned for his fierce competitive spirit, extraordinary leadership and unforgettable State of Origin performances, Wally captained Queensland for a decade, led the Australian Kangaroos and became the inaugural captain of the Brisbane Broncos. His remarkable career earned him countless accolades, including the prestigious title of Rugby League Immortal in 1999. But Wally’s story extends well beyond the footy field. From his successful career in sports broadcasting to his passionate advocacy for important community and health causes, he continues to inspire Australians with his resilience, determination and down-to-earth character. With a lifetime of incredible stories, sporting triumphs and personal challenges to share, an afternoon with The King promises plenty of laughs, fascinating insights and a rare glimpse into the man behind the legend.

Charity Partner
Hope for Our Children
Every great Fitzy’s Feast has a cause worth getting behind, and this November, we're proud to support Hope for Our Children, a remarkable Toowoomba-based charity making a genuine difference in the lives of vulnerable children and young people. This not-for-profit works to reduce the impact trauma on the vulnerable children in Queensland. For the very first time, we welcome Hope for our Children as Charity Partner for the up-coming Fitzy's Feast. Established in 2013, the organisation began with a simple but powerful mission: replacing the garbage bags used by children entering or moving through foster care with backpacks filled with essential belongings, offering a little dignity, comfort and hope during an incredibly difficult time. Since then, Hope for Our Children has grown into a much-loved community organisation, delivering practical support, meaningful programs and positive experiences for children in care and the dedicated carers who support them. From their Bags of Hope initiative to their Dogs of Hope program and beyond, their work is driven by compassion, connection and the belief that every child deserves to feel safe, supported and valued. Meet the Chair, Clayton Menyweather on the day, purchase raffle tickets, bid on an auction and enjoy your time at Fitzy's knowing proceeds will be donated to this brilliant not-for-profit. We're delighted to shine a spotlight on this wonderful local cause and help make a difference, one Fitzy’s Feast at a time!
