Parents, staff, friends of Shiplake College and members of the local community are warmly welcomed to the Sports Tour Fundraising Dinner. Enjoy an evening with famous sports stars such as Olympic Gold medallist Alex Gregory and GB Hockey player and Olympic Gold medallist Crista Cullen, former England fly-half and rugby pundit Andy Goode, and New Zealand’s legendary Number 8 Zinzan Brooke. Our Panel of guests will be interviewed by Old Viking and BBC Sports presented, James Burridge.
There will be a sumptuous three course meal provided by Thomas Franks and live music by Old Viking and star of BBC One’s The Voice, Jamie Bruce, as well as an auction run by Old Viking and Cash In The Attic extraordinaire Jonty Hearnden, in addition to a raffle and a silent auction.
