The Westpac Rescue Helicopter has an exciting fundraiser coming up that will entertain Rugby fans, poetry buffs and sports lovers alike.

The fundraiser "Two Props & a Poet" brings together big personalities, rugby banter and a touch of lyrical flair.

The event will be held on Friday 27 February at the Byron Bay Services Club from 12:15pm for a 1:00pm start.

The luncheon will be MC'ed by local sporting aficionado Dave Arthur, an ex-prop and will feature Wallabies star Tom Lawton, who played 41 tests for Australia in a seven-year international career.

Lawton knows how to entertain a crowd and will share plenty of stories about his career, yarns about his ex-team mates and life on the road as a Wallaby.

The pair will be joined by Murray Hartin, one of the best Australian rhyming poets of the modern era.

For years Murray Hartin has been making audiences laugh, cry and visualise the spoken word with his unique style of Australian storytelling.

His stories epitomise mateship. Hartin will remind you and your table how lucky we are to be Australian. 

Sit back and enjoy a two-course feast with a three-hour drinks package at Byron Bay Services Club, while being entertained by sporting stories and poetic punchlines.

Tickets are $150 each or $1500 for tables of 10.
