The event has been organised to raise funds for Hartlepool Rovers Junior Section. Rovers Junior Section continues to attract some of the finest names in the Rugby world. The aim of our dinners is to raise money for our thriving junior section which includes teams for both boys and girls.

The past twelve months we have had the pleasure of listening to, two famous Barbarians in Tommy David and the worlds greatest rugby player Sir Gareth Edwards.

The British & Irish Lions tour to New Zealand is on the horizon so it is fitting that we are holding a "Join the Pride" fundraising Dinner within the clubhouse on Friday 19th May 2017 commencing at 7.15pm. We continually look to attract the best in the world for our fund raising dinners and on this occasion we can categorically say we have the best.

Joining us for the evening is none other than Martin Johnson CBE. Martin is regarded as one of the greatest locks ever to have played and one of England's greatest ever players. He toured three times with the British and Irish Lions, becoming the only man to have captained them on two separate tours. He also led his club Leicester Tigers to consecutive Heineken Cup victories, won the league five times including four consecutive victories as captain and won the Pilkington Cup twice.

Tables are available for £350 per table of ten and details can be obtained from the club on 01429 267741.
