When Easter comes around each year it always reminds me of March 1975 when I was a member of NZ ,New Brighton Rugby team that toured the UK.
I still have fond memories of that tour and the wonderful time we had ,especially the hospitality from all the members of the UK NBRC.
For a big part of the tour i was billeted with Bernard and Jenny Wright, who were really great people to stay with.
Its good to be able to check your website and see that the club is still doing well. We have had a good start to this season the Div one side has won two games lost one.
Some of the guys who were on that tour still meet up at the club and we share some great stories about that great time we had .Our club rooms at New Brighton is still standing after the Earthquakes in Christchurch
Please send my best wishes to those members who were involved in 1975 and to your members and Rugby Club’s future
Regards Hunter Ritchie.
