Sportsman Dinner a huge success!
Sunday, 5 April 2009
The 2009 Sportsman Dinner, held on Friday 3 April 2009, proved to be a huge hit. The sell out dinner with guest speaker, ex Everton and England defender Dave Watson, comedian Mick Munroe and compere Graham Forster was thoroughly enjoyed by the 130 guests, which included the Spartans management team of Harry Dunn and Graham Fenton, as well as captain Gareth Williams (who was able to enjoy the event due his suspension from the following day's match against Vauxhall Motors)
The event, including an auction of Spartans, Newcastle and Sunderland football memorabilia,raised just over £1900 for the football club whilst the takings from the raffle of £535 will be donated to the Children's foundation.
