On Tuesday 8th May at Ping Pong on Bread Street, London, Wooden Spoon hosted the infamous Scrum Dine with Me sponsored by Aon Benfield. Nigel Barden, food commentator for Radio 2, was the fantastic host of the event where supporters of Spoon were able to watch rugby legends Phil Vickery MBE, Serge Betsen, Craig Chalmers and Luke Narraway prepare a four course Oriental masterpiece then taste it for themselves. The rugby players then went up against each other to be crowned the 2012 Scrum Dine with Me Champion.

This year we are holding this fabulous event at Ping Pong, Bread Street London on Tuesday 8th May in association with Aon Benfield.

Join us for a fantastic night on Friday 9th November at the Park Plaza, Westminster Bridge for the Wooden Spoon Annual Ball, Carnival and together let's celebrate a fantastic year for the charity.

On the evening of Tuesday 20th March, Industry and Sporting Ambassadors as well as other generous Spoon supporters enjoyed a private viewing of the Gilbert and George 'London Pictures' exhibition at White Cube, Mason's Yard London, kindly hosted by Spoon Ambassador and BBC arts correspondent Tim Marlow.

Wooden Spoon has its origins in the 1983 Home Nations championship, when England 'won' the wooden spoon, and therefore a 6 Nations fundraiser is an important milestone in Spoon's annual calendar of events.

This year's 6 Nations Ball in aid of Wooden Spoon is to be held at The Grand Connaught Rooms, Covent Garden on Friday 16th March 2012, 6.30pm - 1am.

We are pleased to announce that the date of the 29th Wooden Spoon Annual Ball will be Friday 9th November at the Park Plaza, Westminster Bridge.
