Bournville’s autumn Sports Lunch featuring ‘Test Match Special’ cricket commentator Jonathan Agnew has sold out in record time.
Tickets for the event at the Grand Hotel in Birmingham on November 13 only went on sale two weeks ago but have now been snapped up.
‘Aggers’ has become one of the one of the best-known voices in sport since he took up the microphone and joined the TMS team in 1991 and has also been the BBC’s chief cricket correspondent.
He enjoyed an illustrious playing county cricket for Leicestershire and playing in three Tests and three One Day Internationals for England during a career from 1978 to 1990.
He began broadcasting while he was still playing cricket, training with BBC Radio Leicester during the winter months which helped him to make the smooth transition into TV and radio when he retired.
Since then ‘Aggers’ has shared commentary boxes with some of the world’s well-known broadcasters and interviewed many of the world’s greatest cricketers, gaining their trust and respect.
The Bournville Autum Sports Lunch is the latest in a series of successful and popular events, the most recent a sell-out Summer Lunch held in a giant marque at Avery Fields and featuring former England and Leicester Tigers team-mates Ben Youngs and Dan Cole.
