Widely known for his work in addiction rehabilitation, and for turning his life around after an early brush with crime himself, Mr Lyndon-James has attracted interest from near and far.

As one of the most sought after speakers in Australia, organisers are expecting visitors from across the Murray region and beyond to come to Finley to hear him speak.

Mr Lyndon‑James rebuilt his life and began helping men facing the same struggles he once lived through.

In the past 15 years, his programs have helped hundreds of people rebuild their lives.

He is now an author and speaker, sharing the lessons learned from decades of lived experience.

Mr Lyndon-James will headline the Finley Men’s Dinner at the Finley RS Club on Monday from 6.30pm.

Tickets are $40 per person and includes a two‑course meal. Bookings are essential.

Event organiser John Everingham said securing Mr Lyndon‑James is a win for the Finley community.

As the dinner is a men’s only event, Mr Everingham encouraged women interested in hearing from Mr Lyndon-James to attend the Finley Commuity Church service on Sunday. It will be held at the Retreat Hall, from 10am.
