SPORTS PODGE, NOW IN ITS RECORD BREAKING
7TH YEAR, IS A UNIQUE ANNUAL LUNCH, DEDICATED
TO THE MOVERS, SHAKERS, MEDAL-WINNERS AND
HEROES OF SPORT. THE AIM? TO MEET AND EAT, RENEW
OLD FRIENDSHIPS AND MAKE NEW ONES - MAYBE EVEN
STRIKE THE ODD DEAL.

IT'S LIKE SOCIAL NETWORKING
ONLY WITH ACTUAL PEOPLE, FOOD, WINE AND THE MOST
TRAYS OF BACON BUTTIES IN THE IOD BAR AT TEA TIME
THAT THE WORLD HAS EVER SEEN.

WHY THE NAME SPORTS PODGE?

Sports? Because that's the passion every attendee at Sports Podge shares and the industry in which all our guests make a living.

Podge? Because as well as good company and a fantastic venue, we're lucky enough to have the IoD's award winning chef and exceptional kitchen team on hand to serve a delicious four course lunch. Budding record breakers beware: we will not be serving beans you need to eat at speed with cocktail sticks. You'll need to create your own record attempt.

THE TEAM BEHIND PODGE

Phil Jones calls in favours from the world's most diverse little black book of contacts, coordinating an amazing group of people working in sport, design, digital and print to put together a unique gathering of the great and good in the sports world for this annual non-commercial lunch.
