The Southern Sporting Clubs Event Video

The Poole Southern Sporting Club has been set in stone in the diary for many years for our clients. Since Kyran has taken over, the event allows the audience to ask their sporting heroes in depth questions to reveal secrets of what it was like to play their sport at the highest level. We will continue to attend these fantastic events.
