Patrons
Amanda Blair
Amanda is involved with a number of charities in Adelaide and can be heard on 5AA between 1pm and 4pm weekdays. In addition she is a columnist for the Sunday Mail.
As a media identity Amanda has played an active role in promoting the work of the Society and we have benefited from an ABC Stateline documentary focusing on Club Slick as well as an article in the Sunday Mail.
We sincerely thank her for her continued patronage.
Tommy Kaye
Tommy is an icon amongst lovers of Rock ‘n’ Roll and his radio show ‘Six O’clock Rock’ attracts a keen audience including many members of Club Slick. Tommy has been involved with a number of Club Slick functions over the years and having as much passion as he does about rock ‘n’ roll music he was the obvious choice for Club Slick patron.
We are happy that he accepted and look forward to many years of jivin’!
