Quatercentenary Rugby Match 1985 |
||||
| At the Annual Dinner in October, I found myself seated at the same table as John Charnock, Ian Baldwin and Bryn Town who all recalled their participation in the rugby match that was staged as part of the 400 th anniversary celebrations in 1985. | ||||
| It was agreed that, owing to adverse weather, the match was postponed from the original date of 17 th February (the 400 th anniversary itself being 15 th February) and was played nearer Easter. Memories extended to recalling that medal were presented to the participants but became hazy over the precise result. The pre-1975 team was thought to have won but the details of the score have been lost in the mists of time. | ||||
| I have dug out the programme for the event and this included pen-portraits of the participants. Where are they now? And does anyone remember the exact score or claim to be one of the scorers? | ||||
