About This Event
A new flagship event for Wales, hosted by Tom Shanklin bringing together business leaders and distinguished guests from the rugby community.
Expect a fun afternoon of connection, rugby stories, and an introduction to our Welsh programme.
Our Welsh Schools Programme has been going from strength-to-strength lately, and we’re thrilled to be growing in the region. With more schools onboarded, more students engaged, and more corporates connected, we are eager to see what the future of SOHK in Wales will bring.
You could be a part of that future, by joining in our inaugural Wales Long Lunch!
