The Thame Christian Mens' Breakfast Team invite you to join us in hosting a living legend for breakfast at 7.45 to 9.30.
Everyone will be treated to Jackie's brilliant buffet breakfast, great Chinnor companionship and a special message from Gavin. All for a bargain price of £5 per ticket. Strictly entry by Ticket.
Garin will be introduced and supported by John Paul Davies, the famous Sky Sports presenter and will have many interesting stories of his international rugby career of 11 years and 3 World Cups. He will also explain how his greatest challenges came, not on the field but aftwards when tumour in his neck was discovered and how he drew on his new found faith in God to support him through those challenging times.
Christians in Thame very much hope that you are able to be with us for this important Chinnor event but it should stressed that entry is by ticket only so that we can cater for what will be a well supported Men's Breakfast.

A brief introduction to Garin Jenkins if needed.
Garin Jenkins was born on 27 Feb 1969. His career began at Ynysybwl before moving to New Zealand where he played for Taupo and Kings Country.
Garin is Wales 's most capped hooker (having overtaken Bryn Meredith in 1998), Garin Jenkins won his first cap shortly before the 1991 World Cup. He went on to play in all three of Wales 's World Cup matches and moved from Pontypool to Swansea after the tournament. He has remained loyal to the club ever since, winning league and cup honours with them as well as captaining the side. After playing for Wales throughout the 1992 season, Jenkins was dropped in 1993 but won his place back in time for the 1995 World Cup.
However, he was axed after the opening game against Japan - this time in favour of Jon Humphreys - and then disgraced himself when he was sent off playing against South Africa in September 1995. For the next two and a half years he played just three matches for Wales as Humphreys and Barry Williams were promoted ahead of him. Recalled to the Test side during the 1998 Five Nations, Jenkins was initially discarded when Graham Henry took control in July 1998, but he has since fought his way back into the side and is now playing the best rugby of his life. He scored his second international try (the first was against Spain in 1994) against Argentina during the summer tour. During the World Cup he played in all four games, and against Australia became the eighth Welshman to win 50 caps.
Jenkins decided to call an end to his career after consultation with chief medical professionals, who hinted of the risk of further injury, should he choose to continue playing.
Garin is still involved with coaching the game he loves. Garin is available for personal appearances and is also proving very popular on the after dinner circuit.
