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.

Spoon CityClub received a tremendous boost by being named as one of only two benefitting charities of the exclusive 2011 Story of Christmas Appeal, and the prestigious and spectacular Christmas carol service of the property industry and London corporate sector. The service, which was held on the 14th December at St George's Church, Hanover Square, Mayfair in the presence of The Lord Mayor, was conducted by the Appeal's Patron, The Bishop of London, and introduced by its President, Dame Judi Dench CH DBE.

On the evening of Wednesday 7th December, Industry and Sporting Ambassadors as well as other generous Spoon supporters enjoyed an evening in the elegant Institute of Contemporary Arts, the perfect setting for Wooden Spoon to deliver it's thanks to the great support that our Ambassadors have shown Spoon over the last year.

Hollywood Glamour set the theme for our spectacular Ball this year, held at the Park Plaza Hotel, Westminster last Friday, 25th November. A glamorous night full of star-studded entertainment was enjoyed by all. Spoon would like to thank everyone who supported this very special evening, which raised well in excess of £200,000. The exact total is to be confirmed, but at this stage it looks likely to be a record breaking figure.

On Sunday September 18th 2011 Taylor Root were proud to sponsor the Law Society's annual rugby sevens tournament, an event the firm have been supporting for over a decade.

Wooden Spoon are grateful to be the benefitting charity of the annual City Twenty20 completion held at Wormsley Cricket Ground.

We are now approaching the end of our first year supporting Wooden Spoon and have had time to reflect on what we have achieved. It has been a real whirlwind and the huge variety of activities and campaigns that have been carried out throughout our offices across the UK and Scotland is quite remarkable.
