We are delighted to confirm that our Annual Dinner will be held on the evening of Friday 26th April 2024, as previously advised in the fixture card. As on previous occasions, the Master of Ceremonies will be Roger Day; and we are delighted to confirm that our Guest Speaker is England rugby legend Dean Richards MBE.

Dean played no 8 and 314 games for Leicester Tigers between 1982 and 1997, and was Captain when Leicester won the 1994/5 Courage League and the 1997 Pilkington Cup. He represented England 48 times between 1986 and 1996, including in 3 World Cups, and represented the British Lions on 2 tours, of Australia & New Zealand. He is widely regarded as one of the best number eights to have played the game. Dean has also been DoR at Leicester and others, winning the Premiership title, winning the Heineken Cup twice.

The evening is a 4-course black-tie event including cheese and coffee, and the ticket price is £75 per person which also includes £10 for the draw for the £300, £200 and £100 cash prizes. In addition, a choice of wines, port and jugs of beer will be available for prior ordering and on the night. There will also be a quality auction and raffle.

Agrii, Chemspec, Payne Crop Nutrition, Brown & Co & Wensum Pools have very kindly offered to sponsor the Dinner, and for this we are most grateful.

There are individual places and whole tables of 10 still available. If you are interested in booking or require any further information then please contact Andrew Ross on 07889 958008 or by emailing arosss@btinternet.com (with 3 s’s).
