Sharing my thoughts on how the sports industry can shape the world was a massive highlight of last week. Watch👇

[Two Circles @TwoCircles]

Last week 200 clients joined us in London for our annual Client Summit.

In the final session of the day, @ClareVigers delivered ‘Communities Rewired’ – exploring sports' role in shared experiences and its ability to drive positive change.

Anyway, my grandad would love it if you could like and share. The end.

[Clare Vigers @ClareVigers]

He also pointed out that Captain Tom Moore went viral and got a knighthood recently, so maybe his sandwich-eating efforts might get some recognition too.

[Clare Vigers @ClareVigers]

My grandad is still shocked: sad he couldn’t fulfil his scheme, but grateful to the club sandwich angel of Alderley Edge. He’s asked me to post on Twitter on the off chance that the angel sees his message of thanks.

[Clare Vigers @ClareVigers]

He was then told that he didn’t have to worry: someone had already paid the bill, and they’d even ordered a brownie for him; it was already wrapped up, waiting on the counter.

[Clare Vigers @ClareVigers]

Finally he finished his lunch. Smiling as he went up to pay, he realised he could add on a chocolate brownie to reach closer to the magic £20 mark. He asked for the bill and a brownie.

[Clare Vigers @ClareVigers]

The club sandwich was (apparently) 10 layers high. The lunch project took him literal hours, sitting on his own outside a deli that used to be a BMW garage.

[Clare Vigers @ClareVigers]

He ordered: a club sandwich (£9). Chips (£3). A regular coke (£2.50). A scheme (priceless).

[Clare Vigers @ClareVigers]

His aim was spend £20, maximising the amount of ‘free’ food he could eat without spending any more than he had to.

[Clare Vigers @ClareVigers]

Today he went out for lunch at his local deli. It’s in Alderley Edge, his home for 60 years, but more recently to flash footballers.

[Clare Vigers @ClareVigers]

He also loves to eat. His order in restaurants is ‘whatever is the biggest portion’. Eat out to help out is MADE for Grandad.

[Clare Vigers @ClareVigers]

My grandad loves a money saving scheme. His favourite ever Christmas present was a 1p tie my brother bought from M&S because he was so proud of what a good deal it was

[Clare Vigers @ClareVigers]

I’ve just had an ‘urgent’ call from my grandad. He has asked me to pass on an important message.

Why my 87-year-old grandad wants a knighthood for eating a club sandwich (a thread)

This week I get to go to the Olympic museum with the @TwoCirclesSport team, and I can’t wait. Fingers crossed they have some amazing 1976 memorabilia - my mum would have been happy beyond words

[Clare Vigers @ClareVigers]

New favourite thing: 43 years ago my mum fell in love with the Olympic Games and made a scrapbook of the whole two weeks, documenting all the best performances, stats, and controversies, with added personal commentary.

[Clare Vigers @ClareVigers]

When I was growing up, she and I would watch every Olympic event and study the games in minute detail, and in 2008 competed to see who could name every host city from 1896 in order. She LOVED it.
