17 Apr 08
This year’s Glasgow Spoon Dinner was hosted by the BBC’s John Beattie at the Hilton on 28th February, sold out to a packed house of some 740 hosts and guests, most of whom seem to have regular place settings year on year. Supported by the SRU and Glasgow Warriors, some of whom joined us for the evening under the watchful eye of their coach Sean Lineen, the evening swept along at its normal frenetic pace.
