I would like to announce the appointment of Brinley Groves, to succeed Bob Austin as Chairman of the Wooden Spoon in Wales. Due to the commitments of his new business venture Bob has decided to pass over the reins of Chair, but will remain an active member of the fundraising committee. Brinley who has been a member of the committee since it's reformation in 1999, was elected unanimously to take on the role with immediate effect.
"It is a tremendous honour to be elected Chairman of the very successful Wales Region. I am really looking forward to the next two years when, with the wonderful support of the Committee,our 1st XV Sponsors and the general Membership, we can continue to raise lots of money for Wales' disadvantaged children and young people." Brinley said.The committee would like to extend a thank you to Bob Austin who has lead them for the last 2 years and for his continued support as a committee member. Bob Harris, the National Co-ordinator of Wales added that he and "the committee look forward to welcoming you all at our events throughout 2008 - Wooden Spoon's 25th Anniversary year."

We emphasise to our membership and sponsors, that money raised in Wales is spent in Wales! Additionally, all funds raised in Wales for Welsh projects with each £1 raised attract a further 50p from central funds. We are particularly grateful to our First XV members:
