The Voice of Rugby Annual Flagship Dinner
Our 12th Annual dinner this year was a roaring success, supported again by our much-valued sponsors, Carbon Financial Partners and The Craneware Group. To mark what would have been Bill McLaren’s 100th year, we had a wonderful line-up of entertainment and special guests, skilfully guided by our resident MC Rory Lawson. Our speakers were two exceptional talents, Andrew Cotter the Broadcaster (and dog whisperer), and Jonathan Davis, a Rugby Great – both with strong connections to Bill. Rythmic gymnast Louise Christie and golfer Tara McTaggart shared with everyone how much the support of the Bill McLaren Foundation means to them, whilst Gethin Jones and Jamie Roberts kept us entertained with not only their thoughts on the rugby, but they even sang us a song or two!
