The Spirit of Carlton held its first 2017 game-day luncheon at Ikon Park on Saturday 4 March.

The George Harris Room welcomed over 100 guests prior to the Blues’ second JLT Community Series hit-out against St Kilda.

In the company of 14 past Carlton greats, guests enjoyed a delectable two-course meal and heard from past players Ken Sheldon, Val Perovic, Alex Marcou and Warren Jones as they re-lived their glory days.
