Sad to see in the latest CHOBA newsletter that Caroline is no longer with us.

Prior to the almost complete desertion of this forum by the Hertford ladies Caroline was one of many prolific posters.

Condolences to any of Caroline's friends and family that might see this post.

RIP

As it relates to OBRFC I thought I would post this here.

The programme from the away fixture at Bath, Boxing Day 1953. Proof that historically OBRFC did play at a decent level.

Katharine,

The CH mention is there now hopefully.

I deeply regret to report that my brother Adrian Francis Sweeny , who was in Leigh Hunt B and Coleridge A between 1972 and 1978 and was generally known at CH as Ben, has been found dead at his home. He had been in poor health for many years. He was a longstanding and at times controversial contribu...

Anyone know any info about her?? Julian Julian, Miss Gracie came to Maine as Matron in 1966. She was a quietly...

All the best to you John if you still 'lurk' from time to time.

First one for 40 years?
Many congratulations, Sam

Congratulations indeed Sam. Do you know what position he plays Howard?

Extreme right 2nd row Steel (e) I believe.

I think back row 4 could be Robert Clarke but might be wrong given the passing of time as you allude to.

Hello Chris

Good to hear from you albeit in such sad circumstances.

The rugby ball is marked 1973/74 which would concur with the hairstyles.

All the best Andy Miller

to one and all.

When I started in 1965 there were 3 Pratts in Maine A. Graham (house captain), Robin and Martin. I remember being told that they had an older brother (Ian presumably) whom had left a few years previously.

They also had sisters at Hertford, one of whom, Angela, used to post on this forum.
