Iconic former Reading owner set for Q&A session at popular town centre venue

A Q&A will be followed by questions from the audience and there will be a chance to meet the former owner.
Sir John became chairman in 1990 and, after the club had a new stadium built in his name, Reading went on to play in the Premier League for three seasons.
He relinquished control of the club in 2012 and became honorary life president, and remains a staunch supporter of the club at the age of 84. He is also Deputy Lord Lieutenant of Berkshire and was knighted in the 2009 New Year Honours, for charitable services.
The Purple Turtle in Gun Street, Reading, has hosted a number of Q&A events with former Reading stars and the Q&A with former manager Steve Coppell in April was a sell out.

The venue will host a Q&A with former Reading striker and manager Jimmy Quinn on Sunday, June 22, starting at 5.30pm - and is also in talks with current owner Rob Couhig about hosting a Q&A with him.
Tickets for the Q&A with Sir John Madejski are £10 each, with a limited number of meet and greet tickets available at £17.50.
