An online auction to raise funds for the Northampton Saints Academy set-up is now LIVE ahead of the Club’s 2022 Hall of Fame Dinner.
One of the most important events on the calendar at cinch Stadium at Franklin’s Gardens, the event – supported by headline sponsor Michael Jones Jeweller and hosted by Club Historian Graham McKechnie – is set for the evening of Thursday 10 November, beginning at 6.30pm.
Saints will roll out the red carpet to honour Keith Barwell OBE, Steve Thompson MBE, Ian Hunter, Albert Orton, Blair Swannell, Freddie Blakiston, Peter Larter and Barry Oldham – eight Northampton legends who have made huge contributions to Saints throughout the Club’s history.
After taking a three-year hiatus, the celebration is back for 2022, and while tickets for the dinner are now sold out, an online auction remains available for anyone to enter – with all proceeds going to support the Club’s Academy for the 2022/23 campaign.
