A cheque for £6,000 was then presented to
the Wooden Spoon charity which helps disadvantaged children and young
people. The origin of Wooden Spoon was in the wake of the England rugby
defeat in 1983. A group of friends who travelled to the Five Nations match
against Ireland were awarded the wooden spoon by rival supporters to
commemorate England’s dismal performance in the tournament. The friends
resolved to have a charity golf match to see who would have the honour of
keeping the spoon. The money raised bought a minibus for a local school
and the idea for a charity was born.
