In October 2001, twelve people started a water polo club in Sydney where LGBTQIA+ people could belong in sport. No coach. No blueprint. Just a belief that this space was worth creating. Twenty-five years later, we are celebrating properly.
The 25 Years Celebration Night is our flagship anniversary event, a formal dinner and celebration at QT Sydney. It is a night for current members, alumni, volunteers, partners, supporters, 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. If you are new to the club and want to be part of the moment, you are welcome here too.
