Jackson will be joined by woodchopping royalty David Foster and North Melbourne team of the century member Sam Kekovich at Country Club Tasmania on Friday, November 25.

Hadspen vice-president David Burk said the club was pleased to have attracted such a high-calibre line-up once again.

“It terms of star quality it doesn’t get bigger than Lauren Jackson – she is the Michael Jordan of women’s basketball,” Burk said.

“Foster has won more than 1000 chopping titles and Sam Kekovich was a great footballer and is a well known Australian larrikin.

“It will be yet again another fun experience for all.”

Last year Stephanie Rice, Marcos Ambrose, Robert DiPierdomenico and Billy Birmingham spoke in front of 312 guests.

Burk said the club was confident of attracting a similar number of people to the event’s third installment.

He said there would also be live and silent auctions, a business card draw, a raffle and lucky door prize.
