Sports Gala Dinner 2017
Arden's 2017 Sports Gala is a celebration of the achievements and successes of our sporting students. The evening recognises those who have excelled within Arden, at County level and National level in all sports ranging from athletics, dragon boat racing, water polo, gymnastics, boxing, swimming, tennis and football, to name but a few. Not only this but we recognise the hard work and dedication of our Sports Leaders and Duke of Edinburgh Bronze Award winners.
