25 Years Celebration Night

Saturday 29 August 2026
QT Sydney, Gilt Lounge, 49 Market Street, Sydney NSW 2000

In October 2001, twelve people started a water polo club in Sydney where LGBTQIA+ people could belong in sport. Twenty-five years later, we are celebrating properly.

The 25 Years Celebration Night is our flagship anniversary event, a cocktail evening at QT Sydney for members, alumni, supporters, guests, and friends of the club.
If Stingers has been part of your life at any point across the last 25 years, this night is for you.
