(2) This years' Friends of Scottish Rugby Gala Dinner will be held at The Brewery (former historic Whitbread Brewery), Chiswell Street, London, EC, on Thursday 2nd November 2006 from 7pm. The event has been running successfully for several years, the last two years events have been particularly good, attracting capacity crowds of around 400 supporters. This is largely due to the great enthusiasm of Donald McNab, Stewart and Bruce, the organisers, who together with great speakers, super food, a smashing company and a very exciting auction led by Ian Robertson, BBC rugby commentator and former Scotland rugby star, help to make it a wonderfully high-spirited evening - black tie/highland dress, suitable for corporate entertaining. The guest speaker is Robbie Glen , the former Governor of Barlinnie Prison, a quite exceptional speaker, certainly up to the standards of Peter Mitchell last year. Previous dinners have raised considerable amounts of money (GBP50k plus) for rugby in Scotland and the new London Academy at London Scottish FC. Tickets are GBP 140 per person, or GBP 1,300 per table of 10, including wine and a 4 course meal with haggis presentation. For more details, please click here.
