Whilst I was in Oz last month I presented a club jersey and tie to
representatives of the World Rugby Jersey Auction. We met in Sydney on
Monday 3rd November. The following photo shows (L-R):
Ian Punter of Bletchley RFC who was also presenting a couple of jerseys.
Greg Bergan, the Chief Executive Officer of Spinal Cord Injuries Australia.
Me with the Sarries jersey.
Also present but not pictured was Michael G Le Couter, the WRJA appeal
director.
Mike and Greg asked me to pass on the their sincere thanks for Sarries
contribution to the appeal, and extended an open invitation for any Sarrie
who happened to be passing by to visit Dubbo Rhinos and drop into the
Western Star Hotel for a beer. Toor 05 anyone? Actually the beer is OK in
New South Wales, Fosters is unheard of and apparently only Queenslanders
drink 4X.
The WRJA was set up to support Wilson Te Whata, a Dubbo Rhinos player who
suffered a serious injury in training in 1999 and is now a quadriplegic as a
result. The appeal also supports the Spinal Cord Injuries Australia Charity.
Full details are on their websites:

Our stuff hasn't made it onto the website yet. I expect that they are
catching up with a backlog because of the world cup, quite a lot of new
English stuff has gone on this week. I will let you know when our kit
appears.
Ian Punter was touring Oz with his wife, and earlier in the trip had
contributed to a cause almost as important as WRJA, by delivering three
pairs of custom made boots to Matt Dawson.
