AN EVENING WITH
NICOLAI AND FRIENDS
SATURDAY MARCH 14
THE RATHSKELLER, KING’S LYNN
Speedway rider Nicolai Klindt got in touch as he looked to put on an intimate evening of sporting entertainment to kickstart his testimonial celebrations. The Dane, joined by family and friends – which included fellow riders Mads Korneliussen and Niels-Kristian Iversen – wanted to give a personal insight into his 15 years of racing in Britain. And he did just that with a relaxed event at The Rathskeller, our first Sporting Knight at the venue. It provided plenty of laughs and heartfelt stories and served as the perfect pre-testimonial warm-up.

WEDNESDAY JANUARY 21
DUNSTON HALL HOTEL, NORWICH
Zip Water asked us to provide some sporting entertainment for staff during the first evening of their two-day sales and marketing conference at Dunston Hall. Linking up with Norwich City legend Grant Holt again, albeit for a much shorter Sporting Knight than before, we helped provide lots of laughs and inspiration during a 60-minute slot. Holty’s incredible story allowed us to seamlessly tailor our content to tie in with the theme of their workshop, ‘From Good to Great’, and offer some key takeaways to aid delivering results when it matters most.

DUKE’S HEAD HOTEL, KING’S LYNN
Sponsored by Roger Warnes Transport and Poultec
A three-time world speedway champion flew in from Denmark for one night only as we put on our second-best-selling event at the Duke’s Head Hotel after more than three years away. Fans travelled from as far as Berwick to King’s Lynn to hear Nicki Pedersen tell it straight but also show that he’s a lot softer than the panto villain we’ve seen on the track. Mr Box Office was at his brilliant best and his honesty and humour went down a storm, as did his genuine warmth while meeting VIP guests and other punters on the evening.

NORTHWOLD SPORTS & SOCIAL CLUB
A pair of stalwarts from the British speedway scene put on a great evening of sporting entertainment at Northwold. Chris ‘Bomber’ Harris and Kelvin Tatum took centre stage separately before joining together to have a packed crowd hanging off their every word. Memories of British and world titles, opinions and laughs aplenty and some surprise video messages from old friends topped off another cracking show at the club – which raised almost £450 for the Speedway Riders’ Benevolent Fund at the event.

FRIDAY MAY 2, 2025
NORTHWOLD SPORTS & SOCIAL CLUB
Two Norwich City legends took a trip down memory lane to relive the club’s iconic UEFA Cup run of 1993/94. Goalkeeper Bryan Gunn, who discussed his son Angus’ impending exit from the Canaries, and versatile Rob Newman shared hilarious tales from their time at Carrow Road before talking about life since hanging their boots up. A silent auction raised £500 for the social club’s chosen charity, the Norfolk Hospice, after Gunn and Newman put forward two freshly-signed City keeper’s shirts with Angus and Bryan’s signatures on.
