NCFSC - Next Event - Feb 18th - 7:30pm

[Norwich City Fans Social Club 126]

Join us on Thursday 18th February at 7.30pm via Zoom for what is sure to be a fascinating evening. Tickets are £5 per household and include an online raffle ticket, all the money raised will go to the wonderful Community Sports Foundation. 

Born in Norwich and living his early life in Cromer it’s great to have a Norwich City fan feature so prominently in the media. Simon came to most people’s attention with a 6 year stint on one of everyone’s favourite childhood TV shows, Blue Peter.

In 2005 Simon started a long spell at Sky Sports and soon became a mainstay, initially on Sky Sports News and then most notably on Saturday lunch time and bank holiday games.

There he worked alongside all manner of footballing legends, including Graeme Souness, Jamie Redknapp and Thierry Henry, so we’re sure he’ll have a lot of interesting stories to tell.

After tragic personal circumstances Simon left Sky Sports and is now the president of Blood Cancer UK. Since then Simon has become a prominent podcaster with series such as, “Life, Interrupted”, author, and began presenting football again with Amazon Prime Video Sport.

In lockdown it was a needs must situation Diane as i sit on a committee where we are struggling to conform to our constitution and Zoom was the only way to hold meetings. It will save hundreds of e-mails flying around.

As for not forgetting your event something tells me you will not let that happen. 😜

[Diane 500]

We've had a brilliant response to this event and we only launched it last weekend.

If you want to come the booking form is here  https://bookonline.communitysportsfoundation.org.uk/norwich_city_fans_social_club_an_evening_with_simon_thomas_18022021#init

Really looking forward to what will be another fantastic and informative evening organised by the lovely guys at the social club. Great to see Simon Thomas back on our TV screens and I for one am looking forward to hearing his story.

Thanks for reminding me about this Diane.

Your post advertising the event has slipped off the top page. Maybe ask Pete if he'd pin it ?

Another good event Diane. Hope everyone enjoys and you raise plenty of money, awareness and laughs. Certainly needed currently.

Thanks Lakey for your support. Bit overwhelmed with the response to this one tbh, thought it might be popular but wasn't sure if we would match the numbers we got for the two players forums, but we are nearly there with a few days to go yet.

[Norwich City Fans Social Club 126]

Only a few more days to book if you'd like to join us, we are closing our booking system on Wed so that CSF can gather email addresses for zoom .

Thanks to those who have booked on here, really appreciate your support

[Diane 500]

I asked Pete to unpin this as bookings close tonight so if you want to join us suggest you do so before the game starts.

Thanks to everyone who supported us and CSF on here, much appreciated

[TIL 1010 4,717]

The deed is done Diane. 😜

[Greavsy 2,412]

Just booked my place - hoping that a late booking will mean my raffle ticket is near the top when drawn!!

 

[Diane 500]

Thanks to everyone who booked, much appreciated.

Zoom link will be emailed to you by CSF at 7 ish tonight, if its not in your inbox, check your other boxes.

See you all at 7:30 pm well I won't see you but you know what I mean 😀

[Norwich City Fans Social Club 126]
