To quote from the website: www.walkonwales.org : “The Walk on Wales concept was dreamt up by two veteran Welsh Guards, Jan Koops and David (Dai) Graham, both of whom served in the Falklands War. As a result, Jan and Dai are keenly aware of the devastating impact that active service can have on soldiers and their families, as they cope with bereavement, life-changing injuries or the long-term effects of psychological trauma. The vision for Walk on Wales is: - to remember and acknowledge the contribution of the 50 Welsh Guardsmen who have died on active service since the end of World War II, and - to create a legacy today for the veterans of tomorrow, by raising £1 million for the Welsh Guards Afghanistan Appeal and Combat Stress. The Walk will start on 25 August 2013, when the first of 11 Walk on Wales relay teams will set off to walk the Welsh Coast Path, accompanied by Jan Koops and Rod Morgan who will be walking the entire 870 miles. The teams will be carrying with them a specially commissioned silver baton inscribed with the names of those 50 Welsh Guardsmen who died while serving their country in Afghanistan, the Falklands, Iraq and Northern Ireland. In a journey of remembrance and thanks, the baton will travel the entire length of the stunning Welsh Coast Path before arriving back at Cardiff Bay. The Walk is being run on a voluntary basis by a team of former and serving Welsh Guards and is honoured to have HRH, the Prince of Wales as its Patron and Field Marshal the Lord Guthrie of Craigiebank as its President.” Rob Jolliffe is taking the lead in organising a KORFC team which will join Jan on his walk on Saturday October 26th for the leg from Port Eynon to Mumbles. There are two ways you can help us support Jan and this excellent cause: anyone interested in joining us can contact Rob on [email protected] – we will take the train from London to Swansea on Friday night and return Sunday, with two nights in Rob’s hometown of Mumbles. If you can’t join us then please sponsor the KORFC team by going to the above website and specifying that your donation via their Virgin Moneygiving page is specifically to support our team and Jan on that particular day. To quote Jan, who as we dine tonight will have just completed the 16 mile Machynlleth – Borth leg of his walk, heading towards Aberystwyth: “It’s typical of the club and players that I know and love that you should choose to already have shown such generous support to me and this project in your 25th anniversary year. I look forward enormously to putting on a Kew Occasionals jersey again on October 26th together with the rest of the team who will be walking with me that day. On behalf of Walk on Wales I am hugely grateful and appreciative for this support – please continue to give generously to this worthwhile cause.” WELCOME FROM THE twO CLUB CAPTAINS As our venerable founder’s subsequent history of the club mentions, the Kew Occasionals while the other team, who have been hitting tacklebags for the previous 45 minutes, look were born out of the ashes of serious rugby, rising like a phoenix to accommodate the gamut on in bewilderment, doing some vague leg swings while discussing goings on from the of playing ability, from “I could’ve been a contender” to “and another, barman”.

However, the financial performance depended heavily on healthy investment returns in the year which contributed an income of £188m and for a second year, the operating surplus fell short of the University’s key financial target of at least 5% of total income. The University faces a period of economic uncertainty as the UK government negotiates an exit from the European Union and will need to manage resources efficiently if it is to maintain a pre-eminent position amongst the world’s leading universities.

  • NEWARK RUGBY UNION FOOTBALL CLUB the First Seventy Five Years
    NEWARK RUGBY UNION FOOTBALL CLUB The First Seventy Five Years A.J.COLEMAN Foreword. The first mention of Rugby in the Newark area is a paragraph in a book, Football the Rugby Union Game, published in 1891. This states that the Hull Club, formed in 1865, played a type of Rugby and amongst its opponents were Newark, whom they played four times a year. A search through the Newark Advertisers and Heralds of that time and an investigation by the R.F.U. cannot offer any information, but one possibility is that there may have been a Military Unit stationed in the area who played this handling game. Dr. Ernest Ringrose, a Rugby fanatic arrived at Newark in the 1880's. The "little" doctor as he was affectionately known, a talented player with Old Merchant Taylors Club soon tried to enthuse the people of Newark into the game of Rugby Football. On December 19th 1891, a challenge match took place on the Sconce Hills between a team from Newark and a team from Nottingham. The Newark team was composed from the people of Newark to "this side of Bingham". This match is assumed to be the first to be played in Newark although a press caption of several issues prior to the event states "that Newarkers do not often enjoy the chance of seeing Rugby Football" giving further claim that there had been a Military Unit playing a type of Rugby Football. The match details which were reported in both the local Newspapers (although they could not agree on the score) and allowing a little poetic licence went as follows: "Newark Rugby lads are a hardy lot for this game they played alongside a group of iceskaters.
