SPORTSMAN'S SUPPER 
On 25th Norwich hosted a Sportsman's Supper with former Bath and England winger David Trick as the guest speaker. A splendid evening was had by all and some of the players and support staff popped in for a drink after training. Money was raised and split evenly between the two registered charities, Norwich Rugby club and The Wooden Spoon. The superb meal was prepared by Ian McCarten, the owner and head chef of The Last (wine bar and restaurant) in St Georges Street Norwich, our favourite restaurant.
Thank you to all that attended to support the event. Some random photos of the evening are available on our gallery page here As always, the website will only support very lo-res files so if you want a bigger copy of any, please cpontact the Communications Officer, details on our 'Contact Us' page.
