LES PETERS Les Peters is no stranger to dinners all over the UK and beyond. Having spoken at the Captain's Dinner at Uphall Golf Club near Edinburgh on 17 consecutive occasions, the famous Royal Jersey Golf Club say he made their annual event the"best-ever". Now you can see and hear why Les is also a regular at the likes of Old Trafford, the London Hilton and other prestigious venues. In recent times Les has spoken at dinners as far afield as Italy, Holland, Dubai and America and whatever the event, Les tailors his speeches to match the importance of the occasion, leaving no turn unstoned. This is the man who once had a standing ovation before he started - mind you, he was speaking at the Pile and Haemorrhoid Society Dinner! Les serves up his unique After Dinner entertainment with super stories and lots of laughs and he is happy to host a variety of fund-raising events which can always help defray your costs. And rest assured distance is no object so why not see for yourselves why he talks to hundreds and doesn't cost thousands.
JOHN ROWBOTHAM John was appointed to referee the 2005 Scottish Cup Final between Celtic and Dundee United. He said the feeling he had when appointed resulted in him speaking to spacemen for days! Now retired, John was also a FIFA referee and has officiated at 4 World Cup qualifiers. Instantly recognisable for his 6’3’’ frame and shaved head, he was a favourite with both home and away fans. Recent speaking engagements have included St Mirran FC dinner with 500 guests, the boxing promoter Tommy Gilmour's monthly sportsmans evening and Dundee United's corporate dinner at the Hilton in Glasgow. He also spoke at the recent East Fife all time greats awards in Kirkaldy and the Central Amateurs dinner in Motherwell with over 200 guests in attendance.
