The 2024 event, held at Old Reigatians RFC in Sussex welcomed 16 Men’s and 12 Women’s teams for a celebration of rugby whilst fundraising for the incredible work the Wooden Spoon Charity carries out.

Teams will start to arrive on Friday & the rugby will get underway around 9am on Saturday morning, going on until around 7pm.
Each Wooden Spoon ‘Region’ is invited to enter a team & commit to a fundraising effort ahead of the event. The Overall Winners will be the team with the best combined score from their on-pitch and off-field efforts.

Alongside the event, a programme of entertainments will take place in the marquee alongside the 1st XV pitch with food and drinks aplenty on offer.

The Wooden Spoon is a grant making charity which benefits 100s of thousands of children annually. The Spoon is close to the hearts of many at Tynedale RFC. It remains a chosen charity of the proceeds from the incredible Stay Strong Stu effort & they have supported projects on our doorstep including Sensory Gardens and Minibuses for the Priory School in Hexham.

The club will require a large volunteer effort before, after and on the day. From Car Parking to Pint-Pulling, we expect to welcome over 1,000 people to the club on the day.
More details on how you can help will be shared as the event approaches

If you’d be interested in playing in the event, Andrew Neal is working with the Northumberland XV organisers & would welcome nominations.

Mark your calendars for an incredible day of Rugby & Community spirit while raising funds for those who need it most.
