London Sports Celebrity Dinner and Auction
So I was at the 51st London Sports Celebrity Dinner and Auction which most people call the Sportsman’s Dinner so that’s what I’ll cal lit from now on! The event was in support of the Thames Valley Children’s Centre which is a great cause and one that is important especially to my wife.Gordie Howe was there although I didn’t get a chance to meet him or get my picture taken as the lineup for autographs was huge right up till dinner and almost as soon as the dinner was over he was gone. The keynote speaker Brian Stemmle, who was a Canadian Olympic Skier, was excellent. I hadn’t heard who he was but the speech he did was excellent. He showed a lot of crashes that he had from various places and told a story about one of them that he almost died in and how he came back and skied in, but didn’t win, the Nagano Olympics! It was a great story and very funny. Other then that it wasn’t the best Sportsman’s Dinner I’ve been to but not bad!
